My money is on never. No matter if there’s ICC action or global agreement. Maybe, maybe you might get some mealy mouthed thing like “this tragedy, which the ICC has ruled a genocide” far too late. But at best he’s too enraptured with the idea of an Israeli state in some vain hope it can one day be more socialist Kibbutz inspired than overtt Zionazi concentration camp state.

I remember Chris Hedges recalling an anecdote of a conversation he, Bernie, and Kshama Sawant had about moving a third party and Bernie responded that he didn’t want to be pushed out like Ralph Nader was. i.e, his career was more important than actually trying to start a movement.
