This is such a smart move: it really cuts the legs out from under the "....bbbbut Hamas are terrorist!!" bad-faith arguments.

If that's the reason behind the arrest warrens for Hamas, doesn't it make the ICC's chief request in bad faith? Like "I really want to issue warrants only for Netanyahu, but I know this will be unfair, so I'll issue warrants for both sides, so I'll seem balanced"?

Pretty sure the reason for the Hamas warrants is that they ordered their soldiers to gun down civilians en masse.

Right, so it's not "smart", it's just, you know, what he should have done regardless.

Preferably even before asking for warrants against Netanyahu and Galant. That way it won't look like the warrants against Hamas leaders are to justify the warrants against Netanyahu and Galant, like the person I replied to seems to imply.
