The International Criminal Court proved itself the dangerous joke it is Monday by seeking arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Yoav Gallant.

The two men are accused of . . . pursuing Hamas terrorists in Gaza — though the ICC papers over that critical fact by charging them with “willful killing,” “starvation of civilians as a method of warfare” and “willfully causing great suffering.”

Sorry: The only people Israel is guilty of “willfully killing” and causing to suffer are the terrorists.  And that’s what happens in war: You kill the enemy.

Especially in a war the enemy started in a bid to eradicate you.

Accusing Israel of war crimes is akin to saying it has no right to defend itself; the ICC seems to want Israel destroyed.

Yes, civilians in Gaza have been collateral damage, as in any war. But civilian casualties are not “war crimes.”

More important, Israel’s military goes out of its way — even risking its own soldiers’ lives — to protect civilians in Gaza.

That’ led to a lower ratio of civilians-to-combatants-killed than in any comparable modern war, as West Point urban-warfare expert John Spencer has documented.

Add to the absurdity the ICC’s morally perverse bid to seem “fair” by also seeking warrants for some leaders of Hamas.

Yes, these terrorists are war criminals: Their own Go-Pro footage from Oct. 7 is ample proof of that, just for starters.

But the ICC is implicitly suggesting Hamas’ cold-blooded savages — who target innocent civilians for murder, rape and kidnapping — are the same as their law-abiding, democratic victims, who merely seek to eradicate the terror gang in the wake of those atrocities.

The court’s announcement will unleash new waves of antisemitism, embolden Hamas (which is surely having a good laugh at the idea of “arrest warrants”), prolong the war and cost more lives.

To top it all off, the ICC has no jurisdiction over Israel, which is not a member of the court.

As Secretary of State Antony Blinken notes, the body has “no jurisdiction over this matter.” It was created “as a court of limited jurisdiction,” and “those limits are rooted in principles” that “do not appear to have been applied here.”

Plus, warrants for non-ICC members like Israel raise the specter of similar action against Americans.

No wonder even President Biden — who himself has unfairly ripped Israel for pursuing Hamas — blasted the ICC announcement as “outrageous.”

America and Israel refused to join the court for precisely this reason: True justice can’t be trusted to officials who harbor anti-American, anti-Israel and antisemitic animus and care little about facts — and right and wrong.

If those warrants are issued, anyone behind them should be subject to US reprisal.
