1. YNET does not and probably cannot provide real evidence..

for even one single death in these Gaza protests. Journalism does not emanate from this website, if their reportage cannot even provide anything that can be called evidence besides stories and pictures of the most specious nature.

No Muslim and/or Muslim State will ever come before the International Criminal Court no matter what he or those states have done! Just ask Idi Amin. The UN is dominated by 57 Muslim States! Of all the members, only one is not allowed to fully participate-Israel!
3. Treat "Palestinians" as defeated mortal foes they are
Chaim ,   Israel   (05.23.18)
No matter what despicable and bloodthirsty attacks "Palestinians" perpetrates against Israel, the mad flow of Israeli food, money, materials, electricity, work permits and other supports keeps coming. This is a disgrace. Israel is the only nation, in all of human history, to voluntarily support its foes. We need to treat "Palestinians" as the defeated mortal foes they are. Stop the insane velvet glove treatment of our mortal "Palestinian" foes NOW!
4. Settlements the real danger
Ed ,   USA   (05.23.18)
If the govt is smart, even if not a member of ICC it will do a credible investigation of the events in Gaza and show that the response to violence was proportional and necessary. There is already enough material that is public to support such as defense.

However, this particular govt will never admit anything is wrong with it's settlement policy. With the UNSC resolution in 2016 about settlements, and the politics of this coalition openly defying any possibility of two states, the ICC could easily meet and conclude there is a violation of international law.

Of course the regular contributors to the right wing comment factory will start arguing here the law. That is irrelevant. The point here is that since Israel is not a member of the ICC, and will no doubt due to political considerations refuse to participate, the court will come to a conclusion based on international consensus and the UNSC resolution.

6. ICC has zero jurisdiction powers
lal ram ,   Wolverhampton, UK   (05.25.18)
The ICC has zero jurisdiction and enforcement powers. The cry baby Abb-ass is trying to destroy the peace process. He really is not interested interested if there is any peace between Israel and Palestinians. Because this Arab people are so thick they believe every deception he and his co-horts come up with.. they are comfortable with situation because they are making millions of dollares, income, they live in splendour whilst the people are starving. Abb-ass has been given multiple chances for peace he declined. He wants all of Israel with no Jews. This evil despot, is a master of deception and false propaganda. The Gaza within is another one of his ploys. So long as he can send people to be killed, he is seen to be doing passive resistance. The masses are happy.
