Note that this response is from a cynical American sick of Israel always Getting Away With It. I have no problem with Jewish people, but I strongly distrust the state of Israel and believe that it's a force that makes Jewish people less safe as the state screams it is doing what it is doing to protect Jewish people. One of my close college friends is a rabbi, and we've been talking about this since the start of the hostage crisis.

> 1. The article itself says there is an ongoing investigation into some of these accusations. I hope that, to whatever extent this is happening, it's not widespread, and anyone committing war crimes is very visibly and publicly tried in court.

There is zero chance that happens as long as Netanyahu, Likud, Trump, or the Reupublicans are in power. Trump would immediately offer asylum in the US to anybody accused of such a thing.

Even if Israel did investigate, there's nothing more classic than Israel going "we investigated ourselves and found we did nothing wrong".

So if you want accountability, drive that internally with your politicians and get Netanyahu/Likud out of office

This is untrue - Israel has investigated war crimes, e.g. famously things like what happened at the Sde Teiman prison.

Many have been trying for years. It's not trivial. (About half of Americans dislike {current_president}, whomever that is, but there's very little they can do about it in between elections.)

Israel investigates harder when it learns that the ICC might otherwise investigate a specific case. Very cynical.
