Politicizing the ICC by going after Israel was an enormous failure for the free world. Big win for Russia. The ICC was able to legitimately go after Putin, and had some practical impact on his travels. Going after Israel for aburd charges of genocide is both effective at harassing Jews, while also helping solve Putin's travel problems. No surprise that the ICC has Russian judges and staff who went along with this nonsense... Anyway, regrettable, Hungary is doing the right thing here. As is the US by sanctioning the ICC.

Hungary has officially voted to withdraw from the International Criminal Court. “Hungarian Parliament has decided to exit the ICC,” said Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó. “We refuse to be part of a politicized body that has lost both its impartiality and credibility.” image

Israel is not "Jews". It's a nation. The ICC is going after sone Israeli politicians. Not even the whole nation. They're not going after Jews in general. It's still going after Putin. It's not always easy to do the right thing, but the ICC is doing their best and they are on track.
