Reading the statement by Karim Khan, Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court in the Hague, calling to arrest top Hamas and Israeli leaders is physically dizzying. It is at once a terrible reliving of the cruel events of this war, and a forced confrontation with atrocities that "my" side (whichever you're on) is committing. It is a soaring, noble effort to constrain them, but one that seems just as likely to fail.
