1. Jordan.
Gabe ,   Canada   (01.03.15)
Abandoning the West Bank by Jordan was the easy part. It is Jordan's duty to repatriate their citizens.
2. Why should this come as a surprise?
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (01.03.15)
The entire history of the ersatz "palestinians" is replete with examples of learning the hard way. Why a terrorist and war criminal entity that has glorified its terrorist exploits for generations and whose sordid history is a matter of well-documented public record would want to join an organization which tries terrorists and war criminals is beyond me, but -- you cannot stop people from acting stupidly. The ersatz "palestinians" are acting stupidly. Ho hum .... next .... where have we seen THIS before? You cannot protect people from themselves. Perhaps we really ought to stop trying to protect the ersatz "palestinians" from themselves. They fated themselves for the trash heap of history. Joining the ICC is just an added kick toward a richly-deserved oblivion.
3. Stop ANY benefits for the PA..
Beary White ,   Norway   (01.03.15)
.. remove ANY VIP status. stop any NGO money to the enemy. start deporting Islamic-cult-members from WB. ANY hostile move from Islamic-cult-members must be met with harsh reactions.
4. Instead of racism...
Daniel   (01.03.15)
Instead of the rampant racism in comments 1-3 (calling for the removal of people is just as bad when directed at Arabs as when directed at Jews), what about simply ignoring this. Israel and the US are playing right into the Palestinians' hand, to allow them to say "We just want international law and they punish us". Much better to ignore this right now, and IF the Palestinians really join, then Israel can legally draw every Hamas-leader to the court.
5. Smart move
(01.03.15)
Both Israeli and Hamas leaders may end up guilty of war crimes and PA will emerge victorious!
6. Sarah B is Right - Cut Off US Aid & Stop Tranfer of Money PA
Vladik ,   Bat Yam   (01.03.15)
Sarah B is %100 correct, I would go further and stop the monthly money transfers that Israel so kindly collects on behalf of the Palestinians. Withold this money until the PA withdraws the ICC application or even better until Abbas is toppled. His mandate has run out five years ago - democracy yeah right and even the Palestinians are saying he is acting like a dictator ! He is just a miserable old man.
