At least nine Palestinians have been killed and more than 40 wounded in the ongoing operation, according to the Ramallah-based Palestinian health ministry, which Israel has dubbed “Operation Iron Wall.””
Correct, the ICC has jurisdiction over crimes committed in member states, so when Israel commits war crimes in the State of Palestine, they get charged. Similarly when Russia commits war crimes in Ukraine, they also get charged.

However if Putin commits atrocities in Russia, the ICC has no jurisdiction. Same for China.
Ah OK, you’re just willingly being disingenuous to defend genocides.
Know this, as someone who has lost family is Gaza to your beloved Biden’s genocide, I find you infinity more loathsome than the outright fascists in your and Israels governments. At least they’re honest and outright, they don’t commit this repulsive linguistic gymnastics, torturing logic, language, and law in the most absurd ways to pretend you don’t believe what you believe. You are the lowest kind of scum on Earth, and not only should your death go unmourned, it should be actively celebrated. I pray that one day your home and neighborhood looks like Gaza, and that you and people like you are reduced to corpses rotting in the rubble. And if that happens, I’ll make sure to say of the people responsible: “they didn’t do anything wrong, they were just uwu smol beans who meant well!”
