I would consider it a good idea.
For the International Criminal Court in The Hague can indeed convict him of war crimes... and Netauyanu even more easily. For they have committed large-scale war crimes in full view of the whole world.
But Israel and America do not recognize the International Criminal Court, so it will be extremely unlikely that they will actually be punished.
The result of this war is negative on every possible level.
If I were in charge of the world..... I would set up an organization in which all countries of the world were represented, to organize sanctions against America and a domestic intervention to introduce a democratic system of government with at least 7 parties, and an Inter-government that restores order over the next 15 years.
Israel would be dissolved and all its inhabitants deported to the US.
I would also take the decision regarding the use of nuclear weapons out of the hands of the president. Three organizations should decide on this, with each party able to exercise a veto. In fact, a president should have absolutely no say in this.
I would introduce a new world currency pegged to gold.
And I would expand NATO and make every country a member.
It may sound unrealistic, but anything is better than an absolutely divided population with a presidential candidate who has the ability to destroy the entire world in four years.
