You're so naive.

You don't know what you're talking about if you think people can't hide behind a legitimate front to conduct nefarious activities.

Yeah whatever champ.

You're correct when you mention people. As in, individuals.

Defunding a 30,000 person aid organisation because of a few individuals (who were fired) seems at-odds with how we'd behave toward any other organisation.

Of course, collectively punishing a group because of the actions of a very small number is pretty much par for the course here.

I saw last night there was word of the ICC about to issue warrants against Netanyahy and a couple of other not so prominent names, had trouble verifying it at the time.

Also reports the assault on Rafah was being stalled over this but then Netanyahu jumped out in defiance.

Israel isn't bound by the ICC.

Palestine is.

"Israel is not a member of the court, based in The Hague, and does not recognize its jurisdiction, but the Palestinian territories were admitted as a member state in 2015.".

The New York Times ran a similar article (but paywalled) so it seems there's something to it.

All you need to know about the ICC’s arrest warrant for Putin

Court accuses Russian president of responsibility for war crime of illegal deportation of children from Ukraine.

Would be similar to the Russia and Putin situation, where Netanyahu is basically unable to travel anywhere that's a member state, and obviously isn't a great look for a country that calls itself a democracy.

I wonder if this court existed in WW2 how many national leaders would have been issues arrest warrants?

All the axis powers, Germany, Italy, Japan.
I don't think they ever went to the allied countries though .

If Israel is the standard, I think it would be almost every country involved in the war.
