. . . capturing and trying Israeli war criminals is not just about the fate of these individuals. It is about accountability—an absent term in the history of Israeli human rights violations, war crimes and recurring genocides against Palestinians. The Israeli government understands that the issue now goes beyond individuals. It is about the loss of Israel’s historic status as a country that stands above the law.

Agin this rank without faith. Disgraceful
and the arms of their law; decried
Shoulder to shoulder, we witness
for Justice will not be denied
Israel will learn that the decades-long US vetoes and blind Western protection and support will no longer suffice.
