1. Horrific Collaboration Grand Mufti and Nazism
Zechariah   (09.28.14)
The Horrific collaboration of the Grand Mufti with Nazism cannot be Erased .The Shoah Sears the Jews far more than the Arab Naqba which was to Reject the Opportunities of Peace in the Partition plans of 1937 which would have saved Millions of European Jewry from the Genocide .
2. Israel to apply to the ICC too
Alexander Scheiner ,   Israel   (09.28.14)
for all terror crimes committed by arabs, Palestinian Arabs, PLO, Fatah, Hamas, PA and Islamic organisations, against Israel, against Jews worldwide, Christians in Israel, Swissair and Switzerland.
3. IS THERE NO END TO
joyce fraser ,   USA   (09.28.14)
this fraudulent evil to which the Arabs subscribe? They continue to plot the destruction and murder of the Jewish minority nation and people who they have murdered and hated for 1500 years!
4. All 57 members of IOC are war criminals deserving of ICC
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (09.28.14)
5. urging PA to Join ICC
Scott Hubachek ,   Fenton, USA   (09.28.14)
If Isreal was warring with every Arab Nation, then and only then could the ICC consider Genocide. Since this is not occuring, theres no legitamacy to this claim. The Arabs are occupying Isreals Historic homeland, and they need to be removed to other Arab countries.
6. Oh, PLEASE do!
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (09.28.14)
Israel is not subject to the jurisdiction of the ICC because, like the United States, Israel is not a signatory to the Rome Treaty. On the other hand, should the ersatz "palestinians" sign on -- and it is not at all clear that they can; they are not a sovereign state and the Treaty is only available to sovereign states -- war crimes, crimes against humanity and genocide are the only thing that the "palestinians" can claim. They are guilty of them all. So, bring it on. Watch how quickly Judea and Samaria get annexed and the ersatz illegal squatter "palestinians" find themselves non-citizens of Gaza. Do it. Watch what happens. Trust me -- no one is going to go to war for the sake of an ersatz "palestinian" rabble against the sovereign State of Israel. But the ersatz "palestinians" do not have a history of rational thought. In this case, I hope they do sign on to the ICC -- if law allows. It will be the final nail in the coffin of that despicable terrorist rabble -- a long overdue nail.
7. GoodI think Abbas should apply and stop threatening to apply
jo   (09.28.14)
Abbas should apply, I would like to see all the rules and laws of the ICC apply to the PA and its government. That is one reason that I think they are hesitate to apply. They have been threatening Israel that they would , so please do.
8. Ha HA LOL funniest thing I ever heard.
BUILD BABY BUILD!!   (09.28.14)
the timing couldn't be more fitting or apt, we're at WAR with so many Muslim nations for being at war with other Muslim nations( mainly but, not exclusively ) Please do go before the Muslim Kangaroo court for more international laughs. Like the UN is a fair arbiter or even neutral Hilarious! The UN after the "Protective Edge' war begun by Hamas is filmed, documented, and witnessed to be a one sided UN Hamas- alliance. Please do and watch the world laugh you to scorn - damned dummies but, great free entertainment, baby !!! ALWAYS BUILDING !!!!!
9. @#2 Good. Let Israel Apply to the ICC.
Doug ,   Rochester, USA   (09.29.14)
Trouble is, nations that fragrantly and continually disobey international law and decide to join the ICC will be prosecuted for their crimes. The occupation is illegal, per UNSCR. The colonization is illegal per the Geneva Convention. The Gaza blockade is illegal per the San Remo Manuel. Nothing that the Pals have done to resist an illegal occupation is illegal per the Geneva Convention.
10. Poor Doug of Rochester
Daniel ,   World traveler   (09.29.14)
You actually never did study International Law did you? You parrot what you want to believe. Yes UNSCR did vote in a resolution that Israel occupation of land won from Jordan and Egypt was illegal. Sadly for you the LAW is on Israel's side. In fighting a defensive war land conquered from the enemy is not considered occupied but actually conquered land and they have all rights to it. It would be interesting to see a court rule differently. How do you think that would affect the USA and Canada and Australia regarding Native Lands? Not to mention so many other lands that were won in history. At what point is conquered land no longer occupied but owned? As for the Gaza blockades they too are totally legal per the Remo Manual (which by the way is not binding .) The manual states that neutral country's ships can be attacked if they enter territorial waters if they are suspected of carrying contraband or breaching a blockade.
