In this case Italy was morally wrong, but acted rationally vis a vis its own interests.
As a very general statement, virtually every international body, including the UN, is corrupt and political. Political not in the good sense.
I have no sympathy for the antisemitic ICC.
I’ll go further: if an individual is not aware of the blatant biases of these organizations, they are not aware of the realities. Even further: most knowledgeable supporters are either dreamy eyed idealists or blatantly anti Israel and/or anti US.
As for Netanyahu, he should be dealt with by the Israeli public ( and I wish they would deal with him), but not the ICC.
Morally wrong but rational almost looks good compared with morally wrong and irrational, of which there is way too much going on. The slippery slope question seems unavoidable: How much rationality is acceptable for accepting, tolerating or just holding one's nose in the presence of moral wrongdoing?
