There are "war crimes" where you are debating whether Israel was within the situation that white phosphorus use is legal. Then there are war crimes where hundreds of thousands of civilians are killed by dictators. The ICC was clearly meant to have jurisdiction over the latter. It is not meant to police every armed struggle or territory dispute.

I wasn't very clear. Forget Israel and this situation.
I'm just thinking in general, out loud. The world and each country is such a mess that I'm having a hard time naming any countries that I think have the moral currency to spend on these matters.
In the meantime, we'll just keep going along the might-makes-right path and watch people get trounced all over the world.
