1. I love it - Israel sinks to new lows
Lynx ,   Palestine   (01.18.15)
...Your obsession with delaying justice and freedom for Palestinians goes as far as arrogantly calling for the dismantling of the ICC - an organization presumably set up to fight war crimes and prosecute offenders. Very telling - indeed! Thanks very much for electing these wonderful officials who are eradicating Zionism with their own hands.

You are out of touch with reality. Launching missiles from heavily populated civilian areas is a war crime in itself. Sending suicide bombers to blow up restaurants and other targets is a war crime in itself, and if it wasn't for Israeli security measures Hamas would do it on a daily basis. Israel was forced to defend itself like it always is. In other words don't live in a glass house if you are going to throw stones. Hamas, Al quada, ISIS, you people are all of the same breed. Nothing will happen to Israel because you people live in la-la land with your wicked beliefs. Just imagine how many civilian Israeli casualties there would of been if there wasn't an Iron Dome?
3. What about Israeli victims of Hamas terrorism
Adler J   (01.18.15)
Hamas leader Ahmad Jabari quoted that prisoners released in the Gilad Shalit deal, were responsible for the killings of 569 israelies. June 2014: three Jewish teens were kidnapped and killed by Hamas militants. the families of the missing boys went to GENEVA to address the UN's Human Rights Council !! After the dead bodies were found, Ban Ki-moon condemned the murders of the three Israeli teenagers, calling them a "heinous act by enemies of peace that aim to entrench division and distrust"! - The Vatican condemned the killing of three Israeli teenagers, as a "hideous and unacceptable crime" Hamas spokesmen Sami Abu Zuhri and Fawzi Barhoum criticized the Palestinian Authority collaboration with Israel to track down the culprits, and Barhoum called the kidnappers "heroes". bunch of hipocritas!

PA joined ICC right under his nose. And now he shrieks that the court, which is funded by some 120 countries, represents no one. This guy is an embarrassment. Can't someone give him some back office job?
7. Be smart, elect new gov and send your old one to ICC

Everyone would be happy! You would have a good government, Palestinians would have some justice and the whole world would have eventually someone worth talking to in Israel.
