Once again the international elites line up on the side of the global jihad.
Meanwhile, the “Palestinians” run a sophisticated atrocity propaganda machine to portray Israel as a habitual human rights abuser. Get details in The Palestinian Delusion. Will the ICC recognize that fact in its deliberations?
“Hamas welcomes ICC ruling,” by Dalit Halevi, Arutz Sheva, February 7, 2021 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
The Hamas terrorist organization, which rules Gaza, welcomed the decision of the judges of the International Criminal Court to authorize the court to investigate alleged human rights violations in the territories of the “State of Palestine”.
In a statement on Saturday, Hamas said the ruling was an important step towards achieving justice for the “victims of the Zionist occupation”, emphasizing that the most important step would be to bring “Zionist war criminals” to international tribunals in order to bring them to justice….
A three-panel judge at the ICC ruled on Friday that Judea, Samaria, Gaza and eastern Jerusalem are within the jurisdiction of the court.
In a press release, the ICC said that the judges ruled that “the Court’s territorial jurisdiction in the Situation in Palestine, a State party to the ICC Rome Statute, extends to the territories occupied by Israel since 1967, namely Gaza and the West Bank, including East Jerusalem.”…
“The ICC’s decision to consider Palestine as a member state according to the Treaty of Rome and the court’s jurisdiction to consider Palestinian territories’ issues and complaints raised by the PA, a victory for right, justice, freedom and moral values in the world,” tweeted Hussein al-Sheikh, head of the PA’s General Authority of Civil Affairs.
The PA’s “minister of foreign affairs”, Riyad al-Maliki, also welcomed the ICC decision.
“We call on the prosecutor of the tribunal in The Hague, Fatou Bensouda, to open an investigation against Israel as soon as possible,” he said.

when will the court investigate the palestinians
Westman says
Probably never, nor ever Hamas or ISIS. They only pick on formed nations. Take a look at ICC on Wiki. Organized in 2002, a number of “investigations” and dropped investigations, and not much else. It’s an opinion court for the smaller economies, much like the UN.
However Israel is NOT a member of the ICC so this is just a “world opinion” show trial with no actual jurisdiction or enforcement. No nation is going to risk the US response by taking military action.
It’s a pity that Israel must weather all the criticism for a situation mainly caused by bloodthirsty professional Muslim PA miscreants who continually refuse any agreement except the destruction of Israel.
Westman says
Judges determining their own jurisdiction? That has the earmarks of a kangaroo court. Neither the US or Israel ever signed onto this absurd court(icc) or its arrogance of representing, “the world”. Who, exactly, will enforce, or has ever enforced, the edicts of the icc? Will we get a flood of UN resolutions?
It seems we will have two meaninless show trials this year, Trump and Israel, both held by corrupt political entities who are avoiding their real responsibilities. Come one, come all to the great circus! No extra clowns needed.

PA and Hamas applaud International Criminal Court’s decision to investigate alleged Israeli human rights violations
……………..
Just grotesque–it is the “Palestinian” Muslims who are murdering Jews and plan to destroy Israel.

Okay, lets start by stopping ALL Aid Money going to these morons in PA and the so called Palestine areas, these people are Arabs, call them what they are, second and most importantly, learn History that the Jewish people lived in that area long before the great Grandparents of Muhhamd,(may piss be upon him) met his delusional angel in a bloody cave.
The muslims, known at that time as Muhammadans conquered and slaughtered, all the Jews of that area because they didnt want to change their faith to the words of a nutter, so if they have the bloody cheek to speak about the right of return for the original inhabitants then that would be the Jewish people.
No more money to countries that openly despise and hate us, as they are laughing in our faces when we send them money… they see that as our paying of their tax as a non muslim to the special people…
