31. Serve proof this land is ours & evict evil "Palestinians".
Chaim ,   Israel   (12.04.12)
The time is long overdue to put a permanent end to the presence of evil "Palestinian" poseurs on our land. And their constant murderous plots against us. Firstly, cut off ALL support for them. Not a drop of water. Not a gram of food. Not a watt of electricity. Secondly, serve incontrovertible proof on the U.N. (all world governments, media etc) this land is ours. Thirdly, evict the evil "Palestinian" poseurs.

Gee ,   Zikron Yaakov   (12.04.12)
You are correct - we are not a signatory of the Rome Statue and as such cannot be a party to anything brought to the ICC. If the PLO is stupid enough to sign that Statue then every single Arab in Gaza, Judea and Samaria will be subject to the ICC and our dual nationals will in fact be about to file compliants on all of them.
33. Try abu mazen in ICC for 1972 Munich massacre
BH ,   Iowa   (12.04.12)
34. ICC is not recognized by USA or Israel
Louis ,   USA   (12.04.12)
and do not belong nor signed to permit ICC to hear claims against it or its citizens. The ICC, per its charter, does not hear claims against any nation; it only hears claims against persons. A state cannot sue a state in the ICC. ICC will usually not accept a calim if the nation involved reviews and investigates the issue itself and subject to court hearing in that state. It remains to be seen whether ICC will even consider Palestine a state.

36. Time to abolish the PA
Steve ,   Miami, USA   (12.04.12)
The PA has declared diplomatic war on Israel and now it is time to kick out all the PLO gangsters that Israel let in back in the 1990s. This farce is over, Oslo was a disaster, missiles are being shot in all places in Israel, and now war crimes trials. Enough is enough. Time to dismantle the PA. and end this charade.
37. #31 Chiam Spot On Post

My settlements Exactly!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Baruch Ha Shem
38. congress...
freddie ,   USA   (12.04.12)
I believe that a number of American congressmen have said that should Abbas try that, they would ask that all financial aid to Pals be cut off.
39. 2 states solution !
Gallula ,   Paris   (12.04.12)
Go and see in the east ! Palestine became Jordan in 1922 thanks to the coward British. Now there is Israel and Jordan and many many other Muslims countries.! So get out of the Israeli occupied land and don't be jealous of the success of Israel!!!
40. Sanction Holocaust Denial
Zivron   (12.05.12)
The UN cannot even.teach the Holocaust in Gaza let alone the 1947 partition plan Jaffa would be Palestian with 700000 people now the Jews won't give it back now and the Poles won't give back east Prussia.
41. Arab Deception
Ross Gallen ,   Henderson, USA   (12.04.12)
Abbas is trying to obtain through deception what the Arab armies could not win through 100 years of war. It's time for Israel to tell him to go to hell. Topple Abbas. Without money his dirty little dictatorship will fall in 90 days. The whole Arab world is unstable and he is no different. Enough of his threats an d the big mouths of his henchmen.
42. Hate to break it to you ...
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (12.04.12)
... but the ICC does not have jurisdiction over non-sovereign territory. That would be Judea and Samaria. Gee, all that effort at the United Nations for nothing. Tsk, tsk. The ersatz "Palestinians" should have done their homework.
43. time for 2 state solution. israel and jordan

44. Fraud is a crime.
Gabe ,   Canada   (12.04.12)
Abbas has no legitimacy. He is a fraud !
45. Hamasss and Fatahh has set themself at sideline.
Beary White ,   Norway   (12.04.12)
All this unilateral moves objectively shows the pals do not want this to be agreed upon by negotiation. hen conftinue the war, and start from the armisitc lines of 1967, move all the pals to Jordan.
46. ICC
DANIEL BERK ,   HAMILTON CANADA   (12.04.12)
I wonder if this works both ways, does Israel have the right to go to ICC over the rocket attacks from the Palestinans or the terrorist attacks from both the west bank and gaza and since they never agreed to a two state solution in the first place that the UN tried in 1948 why should they have any rights at all with ICC
47. #2 bill from Canada cries for boycotts and sanctions
Mark ,   Lodz, Poland   (12.04.12)
to strangle his peace.... If you're going do it properly, bill...grace us with your absence from these threads by avoiding those Israeli computer components/applications that you use on a daily basis
48. To #12 Amichai- Some Clarification
Edward ,   New York USA   (12.05.12)
Israel and the US are signatories of the ICC , BUT have informed the UN Secretary General that they no longer intend to become states parties and, as such, have no legal obligations arising from their former representatives' signature of the Statute. On 21 January 2009, the Palestinian National Authority formally accepted the jurisdiction of the Court.[8] On 3 April 2012, the ICC Prosecutor declared himself unable to determine that Palestine is a "state" for the purposes of the Rome Statute. I am unsure if teh recent UN action makes "Palestine" a state. Even so, Israel is no longer bound by their decisions.
49. T0 #39...
Edward ,   New York USA   (12.05.12)
Its not occupied land is Disputed Territory. There is no occupation.
50. #2 bill - canada
BEN JABO (MACHAL) ,   ISRAEL   (12.05.12)
Israel has cried for peace, the Arabs refuse to listen or discuss it That bit of land you're sqatting on in Canada, be a good fellow, return it the the natives you stole it from, you hypocrite
51. Abbas responsible for Munich Massacre
BEN JABO (MACHAL) ,   ISRAEL   (12.05.12)
Try him first
52. The Profile of the So-Called Palestinian
ltrail ,   United States   (12.05.12)
You will see from history, that in every country that they dwelt, they attempted to usurp the existing government. It is no surprise that they are attempting the same MO in Israel. Israel will some day kick them out of Israel, but will have some difficulty because of the world's meddling. Have you ever wondered why the world meddles in Israel's affairs. I've written the answer previously. (Maybe it was not presented herein by YNet Israel, I don't know.)
53. #31 Chiam My Appologies
(12.05.12)
For misspelling. Shalom
54. #34 Israel's bad company:
(12.05.12)
Iraq, Iran, Cuba, North-Korea, Pakistan, India, Syria, Saudi-Arabia, Sudan, China, Russia, Turkey, US and Israel. These 14 countries do not recognize the ICC. Nothing more to be said.
55. Finally the FAKE "peace process" has come
Chris Rettenmoser ,   Bayerisch Gmain Germ   (12.05.12)
to an end...
56. Bad times for the talkbackers here
(12.05.12)
- Obama re-elected - Palestinian status in UN upgraded - world outraged by Israeli settlements Stay tuned for more.
57. I thought that Abbas was going to the ICC over ...
shreff ,   Vienna VA USA   (12.05.12)
... some polonium in Arafat's underwear. He seems to come up with a new ambition every day. I guess that is the result of his upgrade to President of a sssssTATE.
58. Tying up the UN
Hmm. ,   Chicago   (12.05.12)
How much is the UN prepared to spend in order the finance this stunt by the PA?
59. Not so fast
Hmm. ,   Chicago   (12.05.12)
"UN recognition could enable the Palestinians to gain access to the International Criminal Court." Maybe the UN won't fall for it. After all, an endless number of frivolous lawsuits by the PA would cost somebody a lot of money.
60. ABU Mazen +ICC last ruling on Palestine
Tarbouche ,   Aswan   (12.05.12)
While the Prosecutor has declared himself unable to determine that Palestine is a "state" for the purposes of the Rome Statute in his Update on the situation of 3 April 2012, he has not determined that Palestine is not a "state" for the purposes of the Rome Statute, either. He explicitly stated that authorities like the United Nations General Assembly or the Assembly of States Parties to the Rome Statute could determine whether or not Palestine qualifies as a "state" for the purposes of the Statute. The Prosecutor has however removed the situation in Palestine from her list of ongoing examinations, as per the weekly briefing of 23 July 2012.
