Palestinians say they may join war crimes court

Israel concerned it would be the target of charges

JERUSALEM — Days after winning upgraded status at the United Nations, the Palestinians are threatening to join the world’s first permanent war crimes court and pursue charges against the Israelis.

Although the Palestinians say any decision is a long way off, the threat has unnerved Israel. But pressing a case might not be so simple and could potentially leave the Palestinians vulnerable to prosecution.

Comments

It is the Palestinians (and their Iranian and Arab supporters) who are the war criminals.  When the UN partitioned Palestine in 1948, the Arabs attacked the newly born State of Israel.  They have launched several wars since then to destroy Israel.  They expelled hundreds of thousands of Persian and Arab Jews from their homes and seized their property.  Most recently, Iran and its Palestinian puppets have been shooting rockets at Israeli cities and towns.  It is truly Orwellian to claim that Israel is the war criminal when the Arabs and Iranians have blood on their hands.

And it Barack Obama, Hillary clinton, and Susan Rice who ALLOW the Palestinains to continue to be war criminals.

I guess all of them are too young to remember or even read about the 1967 war, the 1973 war, and the 1972 Munich Olympics massacre.
