I could see the argument that the ICC is illegitimate. But the same applies to the US federal government. But one of these zero real authority organizations is fighting against genocide and the other is stealing from me to fund it. And so that makes one of these acceptably more legitimate than the other.
To me it isn't about legitimacy or illegitimacy. It's about good or bad. And one of these bullshit attempts at authority is more bad than the other so I'll side with the one that isn't actively doing evil if there is a contest between illegitimate claims to authority.
Arrest all our politicians for contributing to genocide when? I'd be ok with that.

Actually, on the whole I agree with you, my friend. And, I'm Jewish. What do you think about that?
