   @levjoy I think questions of crimes against humanity and war crimes are some of the most serious issues that human beings can discuss. Using this indirect and evasive language in that context is really unsettling. It seems like a topic on which one should speak as plainly and directly as possible.

     @levjoy Like, why are the warrants "outrageous"? Because the allegations are so obviously untrue, and that they are clearly motivated by some other reason than enforcing international law? Then say that. Or because the ICC only applies to member countries, and the membership of the State of Palestine, a state that the US does not recognize, is insufficient to justify indictments over crimes committed in territory putatively governed by that state? Then say *that*.
