Several issues are being conflated here.

First of all, like the good Lord, I loathe Netanyahu, hold him responsible for the intelligence and military failures of Oct 7, and want him out of office and back on trial.

But that has nothing to do with weapons for Israel. Israel was attacked by Iranian-armed Hamas, then by Iranian-backed Hezbollah, then by Iranian backed Houthis, then by Iran itself. Israel needs and deserves those weapons as they are fighting against these radical Islamic terrorists on behalf of the entire civilized world.

Netanyahu is not Israel. No matter who were PM, the goal would be the same: wipe out the terrorists so that a new society can be built in Gaza, and it's going to take a long time, and it's going to happen under Israeli control. The exposure of so many UNWRA workers as Hamas terrorists requires this.

And why is it wrong to reveal that Karim Khan, who breached ICJ protocol for asking for indictments before conducting a full investigation, probably did so because there was about to b a claim if sexual harassment made against him, and he wanted to deflect attention?

Sorry, Lord C, but exposing a sexual predator and opposing arms cut offs to Israel in time of war is not undermining Jews or delegitimizing anyone.

Standing up for Karim Khan, on the other hand......
