While you're here...now that HAMAS leaders have been indicted for war crimes for their actions on Oct 7th what is your opinion on Palestinian actions on that day?

From the BBC: ICC prosecutor seeks arrest warrants for Netanyahu and Hamas leaders Summary The chief prosecutor of the International Criminal Court is seeking arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Hamas's leader in Gaza, Yahya Sinwar Karim Khan also says he's...
