Five rather disreputable countries, who could stand a bit of investigating themselves, have just come forth with a request that the International Criminal Court (ICC) investigate the state of Israel for “war crimes” in Gaza. More on this moral travesty, which fortunately will make not the slightest difference in the real world, where Israel will […]
ICC prosecutor denounces violence in Afghanistan…in the name of Islamic law
Whoever thinks that Islam would settle for colonizing parts of Europe and the French suburbs is very naive. It is the whole Earth that the Qur’an imposes to conquer, and it’s what they are working on without respite while we are getting anxious about the wearing of the veil. In an official statement published […]
Israel to International Criminal Court: It is ‘a country with rule of law,’ does not recognize ICC’s authority
Israel has formally notified the International Criminal Court that it does not recognize its authority. “It will be made clear that Israel is a country with rule of law that knows how to investigate itself,” Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said. “The response will also say Israel ‘completely rejects’ the assertion that it was carrying […]
Why the International Criminal Court is Wrong: Israel Is Not Guilty of ‘War Crimes’
Fatouh Bensouda thinks – thinks! – that Israel’s settlements may be a “war crime.” Where does this notion come from? It comes from her (mis)reading of Article 49 of the Fourth Geneva Convention, that states: “The Occupying Power shall not deport or transfer parts of its own civilian population into the territory it occupies.” It […]
What the ICC’s Fatouh Bensouda Should Know About the Efforts Israel Makes to Minimize Civilian Casualties
Yesterday we discussed the first part of the report by Jacob Magid at the Times of Israel about the three-judge panel’s decision giving the full ICC (with 18 judges) the right to exercise jurisdiction over Israel in investigating its putative “war crimes,” despite the fact that Israel is not a member of the ICC. Magid’s report […]
Why the ICC’s Claim of Jurisdiction Over Israel and Palestinians for War Crimes is Disturbing
In a 2-1 decision, a three-judge panel (chosen from the 18 members of the ICC) has concluded that the claims of the International Criminal Court to have jurisdiction to open a criminal investigation of possible war crimes that may have been committed by Israel or the Palestinians during Operation Protective Edge, which was fought in […]
PA and Hamas applaud International Criminal Court’s decision to investigate alleged Israeli human rights violations
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 […]
CNN claims Trump’s threat to attack Iranian cultural sites could be a “war crime”
Trump is being compared to jihadist barbarians who deliberately destroy ancient, cultural and religious sites as part and parcel of their persecution of religious minorities and attempts to erase pre-Islamic history. CNN was among the chorus of “news” outlets that made the absurd comparison in response to the President’s threat to Iran that America intends […]
International human rights NGO says Muslim persecution of Christians in Nigeria is at genocidal levels
An international human rights NGO, The Jubilee Campaign, “has submitted research and data to the International Criminal Court contending that the standard for genocide has now been reached when it comes to the massacres of Christian farming communities in Nigeria by Fulani militants.” These “Fulani militants” are jihadists, often referred to as “Fulani herdsmen” to […]
Trump to terminate funding to UN agencies that give full membership to Palestinian Authority
Decisive action against the Palestinian jihad and those who aid and abet it at the United Nations. We have gone from living in a dark cave for eight years to stepping suddenly into the bright sunlight. “Trump Prepares Orders Aiming at Global Funding and Treaties,” by Max Fisher, New York Times, January 25, 2017: WASHINGTON […]
