I'm not sure the term "Western" is appropriate, every west European country and Canada, Australia and New Zealand support the ICC.
The USA don't.
Then the post should have referred to the USA and not to "Western".
While your post shouldn't have made the claim that "every western country" supports the ICC.
The point I was making is that the "western" world were up and arms and rightly so when Russia invaded Ukraine, sanctions, diplomats getting banned etc etc, but when Israel starts slaughtering the Palestinians on a scale that would make Pol Pot blush, there's none of the same concern.
Is there any nuance at all between the two conflicts or do you reckon they're directly comparable?
The direct comparison is that innocent women and children are being killed in both.
what other nuance do you need?

Can't shake the feeling the current plan is to leave it in the in-tray for Labour to deal with.
