"Bad events like the coronavirus sometimes bring out the worst in people, but they also bring out the best.... it's a little like the wartime spirit. We are going to see a renewal of the we."

** The ICC Should Investigate Actual War Crimes ([link removed])
------------------------------------------------------------
** By Benjamin Weil / March 18, 2020 / JNS ([link removed])
------------------------------------------------------------
"If someone asked you what the world’s most serious human-rights issues are today, what would your answer be?
If you’re like me, your answer would probably be the plight of the Kurds and Yazidis, the oppression of the Iranian people, and the horrible human-rights violations in North Korea. On the other hand, if your name is Fatou Bensouda and you happen to be the International Criminal Court prosecutor, clearly all of those issues are secondary. How else can one explain Bensouda’s statement ([link removed]) from Dec. 19, 2019, that the ICC would “examine the situation in Palestine” and not any of the actual massacres going on around the world?
Let me save the ICC and Bensouda some time, so they can focus on the systematic war crimes, genocide and crimes against humanity going on around the world: You have neither the jurisdiction nor the authority to try any Israeli. I would refer Bensouda to the bylaws of the organization she works for."
