Israeli friends frequently mention the possibility of seeking justice for crimes committed in Israeli courts while supporting the Israeli army. In its reaction to International Criminal Court Prosecutor Karim Khan's request for arrest warrants for Israeli officials, the US State Department, for example, stated that the prosecutor failed to conduct a national investigation first.
