I don’t understand, there is no proof of genocide in Israel but YEARS of evidence against China and Russia. Can anyone explain this to me?
Upsetting russia was seen as bad plan when trying to normalise relations with them and the rest of Europe (Pre Crimea) The idea was to intertwine economies so that was would never be feasible.
World is dependent on China for manufacturing
When the punishment for countries is economic (As no one would dare go to war with a Nuclear power) and you depend on their economy you don’t need have much to gain do you? Just ruins everything. You could go for specific people I guess but their countries will just ignore it.
Israel is/pretends to be normal with most of the world. So will probably actually do stuff if they lose.
Then the obvious. It’s all political theatre and no one actually cares about genocide.
After Russia started the invasion and started stealing children they were already isolated economically so why not bring the court case? They have an arrest warrant out for Putin but that appears different than the claim of “genocide” in regards to Israel.
China did not do anything after the UN report on Xinjiang came out, and many countries have already passed resolutions declaring the detention and sterilization of Uyghurs as genocide, but the ICC didn’t hear a case.
Russia doesn’t recognise the court

They aren’t a member and so won’t show up. So you would have to try them in absence and then even if someone is found guilty what next? Same issue as above. You’ve already done the punishment (Sanctions).
Anything else would just be Political Posturing (Same as the warrant for Putin)
An international declaration of genocide is not only important to respect the brave soldiers of Ukraine but to show Russia that it can’t be a bully. How can it be fair that a country formed after surviving a genocide can be formally accused of genocide in a international court ?
