When a suspected criminal asks the others to shut down the court

[Seamus Fermanagh]

It's more funny than that.

They've also:

Decided to stop giving Palestine the taxes that they collect on their behalf (not that the Palestinians get a choice in this)
The USA has also stated that this act is not helpful and that they too might withdraw finding - as goign to courts to arbitrate things is Not the way that America does things when the outcome might be against it.

Also, note the complete lack of a scream of outrage from the EU (either separate countries or in total)... or anywhere else for that matter.

The operative word is not "might."

This just shows how pointless the ICC really is. Palestine Isn't a state and thus the ICC has no jurisdiction over them.

That is apparently not how everyone sees it. I'd say the green countries together have roughly 2/3rds of the planet's population.

Based on the few countries that do not recognize Israel, I might just claim that it is also not a state.

You mean to say they should just stay in limbo and any atrocities that happen in limbo should stay in limbo?
But then it should also be fine for anyone to ship weapons to limbo, more fireworks for everyone else!
