Episode notes
International Authority Concerns
- The International Criminal Court (ICC) raises concerns due to its "international" nature, contrasting with the principle of subsidiarity.
- Subsidiarity suggests authority is strongest at the most basic levels, like family and local communities, diminishing as it becomes more distant.
ICC's Problematic Globalism
- The ICC embodies a modern, globalist dream of international governance, contrasting with biblical warnings about universal government like the Tower of Babel.
- The US and Israel do not recognize the ICC's jurisdiction, highlighting its problematic nature.
ICC's Moral Confusion
- The ICC's indictment of both Hamas and Israeli leaders demonstrates its moral confusion and politicization.
- This action creates a false moral equivalence between a terrorist organization and a democratic nation.
