The ICCs (and a bunch of other organizations') bias against Israel is pretty obvious no matter which side of the political aisle one stands on.

The ICC isn't biased against Israel, it just lacks the bias that the US has where it ignores and is actively complicit in Israeli crimes.

  It is somewhat surprising though that they did not consider indicting Khamenei, Assad, Sinwar, or Haniyeh, isn't it?

    They were seeking indictments of both Sinwar and Haniyeh and then they were both killed.

You might want to read who warrants were being pursued against in the first part of the Prosecutor’s statement which also announced the pursuit of warrants against various Israei officials before saying things this stunningly ignorant. https://www.icc-cpi.int/news/statement-icc-prosecutor-karim-aa-khan-kc-applications-arrest-warrants-situation-state https://www.icc-cpi.int/news/statement-icc-prosecutor-karim-... On the basis of evidence collected and examined by my Office, I have reasonable grounds to believe that Yahya SINWAR (Head of the Islamic Resistance Movement (“Hamas”) in the Gaza Strip), Mohammed Diab Ibrahim AL-MASRI, more commonly known as DEIF (Commander-in-Chief of the military wing of Hamas, known as the Al-Qassam Brigades), and Ismail HANIYEH (Head of Hamas Political Bureau) bear criminal responsibility for the following war crimes and crimes against humanity committed on the territory of Israel and the State of Palestine (in the Gaza strip) from at least 7 October 2023 Sinwar and Haniyeh were subsequently killed, but an arrest warrant was issued for Al-Masri the same day as the warrants issued for Netanyahu and Gallant.

    Looking through the list of indictments, there doesn't seem to be any apparent focus on jews or israelis. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_people_indicted_in_the_International_Criminal_Court https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_people_indicted_in_t...

> bias against [thing] This isn’t strictly a problem if the thing is actually disagreeable. For example, most people have a bias against criminality. Whether there is a bias is unrelated to how agreeable the bias is. Any opinion is “a bias”. What’s more relevant is how well their stated positions match their actions. Is there another country doing the things that Israel is doing (or that has done them) but was never prosecuted by the ICC? That seems like it would be indicative of a “bias against Israel”.
