1-Good on half of the room to walk out before he even started speaking

2-Anyone know why he's holding up a pager?

3-Why doesn't the ICC just arrest this man already? Is it because the UN is neutral ground? American bodyguards on his way to/from these places? Like seriously, their complete unwillingness to do anything about him is almost as infuriating as Netanyahu himself. At this point the ICC should just stop pretending they have anything of value to contribute to the global society

    Because ICC is not police - they don’t arrest anyone. They issue arrest warrants and it’s up to member countries to actually arrest them. Since US is not even a member of the court, of course they would not do anything.

    The pager thing was kinda impressive in its own way, despite how vile Israel is, their spycraft is pretty decent

    As for the ICC, the US has had a "Hague Invasion Plan" for some time now, they will effectively use military action to not be held accountable in the ICC

    Section 2008 of the ASPA authorizes the president of the U.S. "to use all means necessary and appropriate to bring about the release of any person described in subsection (b) who is being detained or imprisoned by, on behalf of, or at the request of the International Criminal Court"
