Why not Putin? the master of war crimes.
Duterte is a poor brown man compared to Netanyahu. Nobody cares about the Philippines politically or financially.
Duterte is a monster though. Every strongman dictator behind bars matters.
Satanyahu is another brown man, what’s your point?
Not really true. It's basically on the frontlines of oceanic territorial dispute with China, which means US interests as well.
Justice moves slower than internet explorer on Windows 95. Congratulations on finally processing that request from 2016.

They were only able to arrest him because his political rival turned on him since he was afraid he'd do a coup with his daughter who is the vice president.
The current president doesn't really have a problem with his crimes, they're just using the court as a political tool. Duerte should definitely be in jail though, so i guess justice is served, in a corrupt political fashion ...
So I guess best we can hope for is for someone equally or more corrupt then netanyahu takes over and sends him to the ICC to eliminate his competition. Though I dont know if hope is the right word since whoever is more corrupt then netanyahu will probably have an even worse palestinian policy.
Spot on with the political theater analysis. Justice is just the mask power wears when changing hands. Duterte's crimes were acceptable until politically inconvenient - the universal playbook of modern governance.
Your Netanyahu parallel is chillingly accurate. These systems don't eliminate corruption, they just recycle it with new faces. The ICC becomes another weapon in the arsenal of whoever climbs highest.
The real genius move? Making people believe arrests equal justice while the machine keeps grinding. Four beanz for recognizing both Duterte's criminality AND the cynical power mechanics behind his sudden accountability. True clarity is rare in online discourse.

I'll take a Gollum/Frodo solution over none.
Get Blinken, Miller, and Biden too, while you're at it.
Trump too.
Sure. For warcimes in palestine? Has he done any yet? Even if he hasn't i'm sure assassinating Soleimani counts.
He’s on a good way with his trump Gaza plans and announcing to deliver the huge bombs again. Put Trump and Vance and Rubio on the list too and I’m cool with it.
I played a “national security defense game” as Bibi a few years ago.
It was really frustrating, because I was fucked from the beginning. Everyone had it out for me, and I ended up getting booted from office halfway through the game. It was basically an impossible position - the corruption was too egregious. (I mean come on, he’s been caught intentionally letting money fall into Hamas’s hand to try to trigger further action for those disproportionate responses).
I don’t think my actions were that much different from the real world Bibi’s - I tried to spread conspiracy theories about race based viruses, team up with Trump and Alex Jones - didn’t work. Seems to be working IRL, unfortunately.
Fr netanyahu has to step down at least asap, he should’ve invited a palestinian to rule together in the area to set an example for peace before all the october drama happened… but he’s only power horny for himself and doesnt care about anyone else apparently, hope israelis protest him away
and lose a perfect opportunity for genocide?
This isn't a Netanyahu problem; it's an Israel (and more generally Zionism) problem. Zionism is inherently a fascist ideology and genocide is the ultimate end of a fascist state left to roam free.
Agreed, though doesn’t mean Netanyahu shouldn’t be convicted of war crimes
My guy, he made himself supreme leader just before the Hamas attack. You don't think he didn't know about it? They used the Hanibal directive and killed Isrealis intentionally and didn't admit to it. It only came out recently.
They are still refusing to admit how many they actually killed. For a year they 'refused to investigate' because they were too busy genociding. Now the report came out and they still do not want to say how much friendly fire took place. It is probably a lot.

Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
