Since I posted my opinion here supporting the ICC prosecutor’s request for arrest warrants for Hamas leaders and for Israeli PM Netanyahu and Defense Minister Gallant, I’ve received a torrent of vitriol, mostly ad hominem attacks (including many messages attacking me specifically

Scontro tra titani su un tema cruciale per il futuro dell'umanità. Una pagina intera costruita sul nulla. #dottori

I welcome the ICC prosecutor’s request for arrest warrants for Hamas leaders, Sinwar, Deif and Haniyeh, and for Israel’s PM Netanyahu and Defense Minister Gallant. Hamas leaders should be held accountable for the war crimes and crimes against humanity they undoubtedly committed

Una domanda interessante è: cosa impediva all'amministrazione US di riconoscere il ruolo e l'autonomia della #ICC (che in fin dei conti indaga anche sui crimini di Hamas) utilizzando poi i propri strumenti di pressione per influire sull'esito del procedimento? 1/n

US position on the #ICC is wrong, and is also dumb. By implying that law is for foes, not for friends, is creating the ideal environment for further violations of international law and paving the way for a revival of terrorism as the only option left for those having grievances

I take note of the decision of the ICC Prosecutor to apply for warrants of arrest before Pre-Trial Chamber I of the International Criminal Court (ICC) against Yahya Sinwar, Mohammed Deif, Ismail Haniyeh, Benjamin Netanyahu and Yoav Gallant. 1/2

The issue is not about equivalence. The issue is simply .... is there sufficient evidence for arrest warrants for war crimes of those accused? The prosecutor believes there is, and he has a far better understanding of war crimes and the evidence than Biden or Sunak.

Ma il TPI contro cui tutti hanno la bava alla bocca oggi è lo stesso che tuiribolavano quando ha spiccato il mandato d’arresto contro Putin?

ed è per questo che la storia dà i brividi,
perchè nessuno la può fermare

Tuttavia, come mostra l'auto elettrica, resta capace di pianificare sul lungo periodo.
Il contrasto con la nostra miopia è impietoso

The super-rich will fight it tooth and nail, but yes — we will have, one day, a coordinated minimum max on the super-rich

We presented our paper CAN PRICE CONTROLS BE OPTIMAL? at the IMF today. Super constructive discussion. Economics has come a long way in this debate since 2021.
