The International Criminal Court disgraced itself with its indictments of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant. The indictment is legally without grounds: Hamas is both a terrorist organization and the aggressor, breaking a long-standing ceasefire to strike into Israel and lead the slaughter of Jews.

Israel responded militarily, uprooting Hamas infrastructure that the United Nations itself was complicit in building, if not directly, then by its own negligence. Israel’s urban warfare is notable not for the destruction it wrought but rather for its precision and avoidance of civilian casualties. Hamas appears both to inflate its casualties and blur the lines between civilian and military.
