I think it started as an attempt (to pretend) to be even-handed: we'll 
virtue-signal that we agree that both sides have some culpability and 
issue warrants for top leaders on BOTH sides so that we can get support 
from both the "global South" AND Western nations. But the long process 
of issuing the warrants meant that the Hamas members were dead before 
they could be arrested.

It would have been interesting to see what happened if a Hamas leader 
turned up in a country that was a member of the ICC: would they actually 
have been arrested and extradited to the ICC? I bet Netanyahu or Gallant 
would have been but that Sinwar would have been left alone.

Putin has similar warrants against him but he's been to a least one 
country that could have honoured the warrant but left him alone instead.
