>Nine staff members, including six judges and the ICC’s chief prosecutor, have been sanctioned by U.S. President Donald Trump for pursuing investigations into officials from the U.S. and Israel, which aren’t among The Hague court’s 125 member states.
If the ICC had dropped bombs on the US, there would be no argument that we shouldn't do anything in our power to stop them. But if they're demanding arrests instead of dropping bombs, all of a sudden interfering with the ICC becomes an atrocity, even though an arrest is ultimately still a use of violence.

Perhaps I'm missing something but I couldn't find anything about "demanding arrests"? Only about pursuing investigations. Also, when you say "an arrest is ultimately a use of violence" are you saying anyone arrested anywhere is being subjected to violence?
