The Trump administration — the gift that keeps on giving. Not only is the ICC tied to the very anti-Israel United Nations. But the question has to be asked: What international law is the reference point that it uses? Sharia? Palestinian Authority leaders have more than once referred Israel to the International Criminal Court for so-called war crimes. Talk about gall. Like the UN, the ICC is essentially at this point an instrument of the “Palestinian” jihad. The Trump administration was right to withdraw from it.
“Trump: Israelis should be immune from Int’l Criminal Court prosecution,” by Ron Kampeas, JTA, April 13, 2019 (thanks to Wendy):
WASHINGTON (JTA) — The Trump administration again named Israelis along with Americans as deserving immunity from International Criminal Court prosecution.
Story continues below advertisementIn a statement Friday, President Donald Trump declared victory after the ICC rejected a request to investigate U.S. personnel for actions in Afghanistan.
“Since the creation of the ICC, the United States has consistently declined to join the court because of its broad, unaccountable prosecutorial powers; the threat it poses to American national sovereignty; and other deficiencies that render it illegitimate,” the White House said in a statement it attributed to Trump. “Any attempt to target American, Israeli, or allied personnel for prosecution will be met with a swift and vigorous response.”
It’s the second time that the Trump administration has extended its vow to protect allies from the court explicitly to Israelis. Last month, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said ICC officials who prosecute Americans or Israelis would be denied entry into the United States.
The ICC is known to be considering whether to act on a request by the Palestinian Authority to investigate Israeli officials for war crimes….

The ICC is a leftist joke and in total keeping with the UNHRC (have a look at how many are muslim). Both are excellent example of how the traitorous Left is destroying the west. The LEFT are the primary enemy and islam is the symptom of the leftist disease. Sure, muslims will remove the left as soon as they take over but that wont help the rest of us as by then it will be too late.
Like the defunct and useless UN all such organizations should be abandoned as should be the continuation of the billions of subsidies to nations who hate the west or who hate whites as they will NEVER appreciate it.

Trump loves his war criminals. Remember that he ran for president promising to torture people.

Trump promised he would commit war crimes if elected. https://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/promises/trumpometer/promise/1374/bring-back-waterboarding/ .. clearly American war criminals are above the law if they are wealthy elitists. That’s why Obama, the Clintons and Bush will never see a day in prison for their crimes against humanity.

Is the International Criminal Court as compromised by the OIC as the UN?

Stupid Israeli left wing leaders of the past made Israel to join ICC. Israel under Bibi should immediately revoke its membership and threaten military action against ICC if they threaten any Israeli.

The UN was created with a 3 fatal flaws.
Allowing dictatorships and fascist muslim states in the UN.
Allowing communists states in the UN.
Allowing Russia and China to have veto power.
All free countries should withdraw and stop all funding at once to the UN.
All free countries SHOULD reform under NATO, with a few minor changes.
Replace Turkey with Israel.
Deport all muslims from EU NATO member countries.

I served in war twice and in the military for 23 years. I served as a law enforcement officer later. Both of those experiences taught me what leftist/socialists/communists do as well as those who are unaccountable. The day may be coming when the solution to the ICC, et.al is the judicious use of a sidearm.
