On October 7, 2023, Palestinian forces crossed over from Gaza to Israel on a raping, killing, and kidnapping spree. The killing was brutal and indiscriminate. Hamas soldiers posted videos of the brutality.
But, true to the trend of demonizing Israel and Jews by extension, the world focuses on Israel's retaliation and seems to find the need to count casualty for some reason. Did you know that Great Britain killed a whole lot more Germans during WWII than Germany killed British? By like a whole lot. Every single nation on the planet since the beginning of time has always killed more of the attackers than they suffered in losses, usually.
But no, if you are Israel you're just supposed to take it?
Recently there was a complaint filed in the ICC by an advocacy group named after a "6 year old Palestinian girl" that got killed in Gaza. It is a damn shame that she died, but to focus on this girl who Hamas may or may not have blocked from evacuation and ignore the children that were purposely hunted down and killed and maybe raped before or after by Hamas fighters. No, it's always those poor Palestinians.

And now, some countries who are signatories to the ICC have been tring to detain some IDF soldiers while they visit on leave.
"The IDF estimates that the decision by the International Criminal Court (ICC) in The Hague to issue arrest warrants for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former defense minister Yoav Gallant could to arrests and other legal actions worldwide against senior military officers, as well as mandatory service and reserve soldiers who fought in the Gaza Strip. Some soldiers have already been required to leave countries they visited due to concerns about legal proceedings."

"The escape from Brazil of an IDF soldier facing a court-ordered investigation and the immediate arrest request for another soldier traveling in Chile are just two examples of cases involving IDF personnel since the start of the war. Arrest warrants for Israeli soldiers have also been issued in European countries."
