1. Hamas is an evil entity beyond imagination.

2. now I understand
(07.25.14)
So the people for which Netanyahu paid for the privilege of talking to by releasing the most filthy murderers are now taking Israel to court for the crime of defending Jews. The Left was right: Netanyahu really is an idiot.
3. jews just dont get it. They're not above the law
Robert   (07.25.14)
A fact that the chosen refuse to accept.
4. EU, world ICC members required to arrest Israeli defendants
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (07.25.14)
5. Hamas, war crimes, Israel & the ICC
David ,   Montreal, Canada   (07.25.14)
What a joke ! Top Palestinian officials, especially the Hamas, Hezbollah and Islamic Jihad leadership and their operatives should be charged with war crimes and jailed for life for their multiple crimes against humanity. The crime of apartheid should be prosecuted against those Islamic jihadis who have just expelled the Christians in Iraq and Syria, under pain of death. In so far as the charges of attacks against civilians and excessive loss of human life are concerned, we can start with prosecuting ISIS, Hamas, Hezbollah, Islamic Jihad and everyone who have aided and abetted them in their crimes while merely following orders.
6. Theatre of the Absurd
Sarah B ,   U.s.A. / Israel   (07.25.14)
The ICC is currently reviewing charges filed against Hamas for crimes against humanity, filed, I believe, by no fewer than six Arab states; Israel certainly can file charges with the ICJ for Hamas' war crimes committed against Israeli civilians. It would appear that "denial" is not only a river in Egypt ....
7. Palestinians should first turn away from Hamas
Berk ,   Amsterdam   (07.25.14)
before the world can take them seriously. And I don't understand why the Dutch government still supports Hamas by donating them half a million euro today, assuming the money will be spent on innocent people.
8. Oh I hope the ICC takes the case
Ze'ev ,   USA   (07.25.14)
Then Israel will finally be able to take hamas, the brigades, the PA, etc to court. Israel has nothing to fear, the Palestinians have everything to lose.
9. #3 What law?
Benji ,   US   (07.26.14)
Since when is it against the law to defend your country? Hamas started the war, fired over 2000 missiles at Israeli civilians and refused to stop. The Palestinians are committing war crimes. That's apparent. Pay attention.
10. Actually We, the Israeli People should take our government
tom ,   tel aviv   (07.26.14)
to that court. Any responsible, sane country upon being bombarded unprovoked, should take every & any appropriate measure to end that aggression immediately, with LEAST possible OWN casualties. The callous Netanyahu regime has done nothing except sticking it's heads in the sand & relying on some technological gizmo to "save" us from death /destruction. Then we have sent our brave young men to die unnecessary deaths only to please foreign, hostile bodies and minimize enemy's casualties. If that is not criminal behaviour, then nothing is. The Yom Kippur war has taught us absolutely nothing.
11. Shouldn't someone be filing ICC charges against the PA then?
Serge ,   Montreal, Canada   (07.26.14)
How does this work?
12. EU, world ICC members required to arrest Arab war criminals
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (07.26.14)
13. #3 robert
solomon ,   bklyn   (07.27.14)
arabs, and you, just don’t get it. They can’t start a fight, place their people in positions to try and prevent bombing by the enemy (Israel) [a specific war crime under international law], and expect Israel to lie down and die. You refuse to accept facts at your own peril.
