"The decision will make it possible to hold Russia's senior political and military leadership to account specifically for the crime of aggression, not merely for its consequences," Zelensky said.
They could also have some Nuremberg style tribunal for Israel, that would also be appropriate,.more so if you ask me, Israel has done far worse things than Russia
It’s not. It severely limits the number of countries Netanyahu can travel to without being arrested at the border. Sure, several countries have explicitly stated that they won’t honour the warrant, and that severely hurts those countries diplomatic capital. At the same time, Netanyahu (and others) are among very few political leaders that have the risk of arrest hanging over them if they travel to most countries.
Well, the ICC and ICJ are more than capable of handling most war crimes, including the ones committed by Israel. This tribunal would exist to fill a hole in the jurisdictions of the international courts: To prosecute the crime of aggression. Russia attacked first. It’s incredibly clear cut. Israel and Gaza is more complicated. Here we got a circle of escalating violence. That makes it a lot harder to prosecute them for this specific crime.
The violence has been one sided for a long time now, and also the numerous cases of Israel targeting civilians and inhumane treatment of prisoners. All well documented, nothing complicated
I’m not defending Israel, I’m really not. All I’m saying is that the Israeli war crimes fall under the jurisdiction of the ICC and ICJ. You don’t need a dedicated tribunal to prosecute them. The same is true for Russia, except for this one crime that they definitely committed and Israel maybe didn’t commit. This one crime and only this crime needs a dedicated tribunal. That doesn’t make the other crimes any less serviere. It just means that the international community made a mistake and forgot one war crime when setting up the international courts.

War crimes are not a competition. The actions of both Israel and Russia are crimes against humanity and should be treated and prosecuted as such.
But only one will be proscecuted in a made up tribunal instead of through international courts. And only one will not receive sanctions.
The mask is off and the whole world can see the theater.
True, but still there are levels to the atrocities
There’s an arrest warrent out for Netanyahu by the ICC.
That arrest warrant is worth less than toilet paper. Many countries have just ignored it and invited him anyway
That’s not the fault of the ICC but of the countries that by doing so undermine and refuse to recognize the ICC.
Exactly, that’s why it’s worthless
None of these Epstein fucks are ever going to come to justice. EVER.

Ok ok, thanks for the clarification, I wrongfully thought you meant their crimes were less severe
