Please allow me as a bit of a centrist and a sympathizer of Israel say that if ICC wants Netanjahu to appear, then Netanjahu pretty fucking much should be clearing his schedule for the next few months and start packing. Together with Putin and I don't know, perhaps every living American president.
"I mean, sure Israel is murdering thousands of children, expelling people from their homes, bombing a sovereign nation unprovoked, and Israel is bulldozing homes to make way for new settlements. But other nations do bad stuff too so this is obviously antisemitic"
What's antisemitic is conflating the actions of Israel with Jewish people. Jews aren't inherently fascist and fascist Jews aren't all Jews.
This is also fucking disgusting as antisemitism is a real thing. Trying to conflate it with Israel critique makes people take antisemitism less seriously which is also dangerous.

This right here. People saying this don't care about antisemitism, they just want to feel good while they defend their favourite apartheid state
Isn't the ICC famous for focusing too much on Africa? Some call it the African Criminal Court. But sure, it is antisemitic that after all the trials in the global south, they go after Israel.
