    Even though they will most likely not be able to make Israel pay any consequences it is good when the 'Leader of the free world' is giving up on law over this situation and the Palestinians are prisoners with no one to protect them that the ICC is going to do its job here. While obviously it would be better if it could make any found guilty pay consequenses like other people need to do, just making it public alerts the world that the Palestinians are human beings though they are no longer treated as such. I understand she will also be looking into Hamas along the same lines. Hamas was aware of this at the time and still agreed to try and get the ICC involved. They have no one else to turn to for Justice.

    Justice would be to revolt against Hamas, defy the Palestinian Authority, renounce Islam as a political system, and embrace capitalism, reason, and the principle of Individual Rights. But as it is not Justice that is being sought, it is power—the power to destroy all infidels stating with those GD Jews—the poverty, deprivations, brutality, and murder by the Palestinians upon each other, as well as Jews, will continue. Sad. But inevitable.

    The US and Israel will do everything they can to frustrate the wheels of justice.

    They are above the law.

    I'd say more above. The US can for the time being get away with this but it has sent the world back to a time we have not had for a long long time, where law does not matter - only brute force does.

    Nope.

    The law has been set. The countries signed to uphold it. It's up to the courts to make a verdict. The Americans and Israeli's play no roll in the decisions of the court. And enter them paid stooges that whine those courts must be anti-Semitic even before they made their verdicts known.

    Why must people renounce Islam as a political system?
    The Germans have Merkel, who is from a specifically Christian political party.
    The Israeli's themselves have extreme far right religiously Jewish political parties.

    And the Jews started this. Nobody made them to ethnically cleanse +700.000 of civilians.

    About time someone starts a post about big bad Israel :)

    Hey alexa, did you hear about US Congress just approving an annual $3.3 gazillion in annual security assistance to Israel?

    No U.S. funding will go to the Palestinian Authority. No U.S. funding for the U.N. Human Rights Council, either.

    To be fair, Trump did request $175mln for economic assistance to the Palestinians, but the House kill it. Go figure :confusion:

    Law does matter. But international law is anti American law so we stay away from it. We employ and execute our own law.

    The federal government is under complete control of AIPAC and other Israeli interests.

    By ignorantly invoking the anti-Semitic label, the weakness of your sad argument is showing, big time.

    No, the federal government takes care of USA and its allies.

    Palestinians are no USA allies.

    Neither are Israel allies. With great assistance from dual nationals, they control our government. In 1967 they attacked for hours one of our ships, the USS Liberty, killing many innocent US sailors.

    Moral of the story... Don't send a spy ship into a warzone uninvited, especially in a zone where egyptian ships had been spotted.

    The USA wasn't an ally in that conflict. If it had been, it would have announced it's position to the IDF well in advance.

    Even before they started that war, Israel was portrayed as a US ally. The boat was flying US flags. Radio transmissions show the Israelis knew exactly which ship they were strafing.

    Lyndon Johnson and Admiral McCain ordered the F-4 aircraft sent to defend the Liberty to be called back.

    You're on really thin ice. Whoops, you fell through the thin ice!
