BREAKING MAY 20, 2024 - USA Today reports 35,000 Palestinians dead 60,000 wounde since Oct. 7, 2024. The International Criminal Court at the Hague was established by a vote of the UN. If it is ignored then we can ignore anything else coming from the UN like the WHO pandemic treaty, and international law is dead. This is the first time in history Israel has ever been held to account by an international tribunal for its actions against Palestinians.
Statement of ICC Prosecutor
Netanyahu video translation
"The absurd and false order of the prosecutor in The Hague is not only directed against the Prime Minister of Israel and the Minister of Defense - it is directed against the entire State of Israel.
It is directed against the IDF soldiers, who are fighting with supreme heroism against the vile Hamas murderers, who attacked us with terrible cruelty on October 7.
Prosecutor in The Hague,
With what audacity do you dare compare the monsters of Hamas to the soldiers of the IDF, the most moral army in the world?!
With what audacity you compare between the Hamas that murdered, burned, butchered, raped, and kidnapped our brothers and sisters, and the IDF soldiers who are fighting a just war that is unparalleled in morality that is unmatched.
As the prime minister of Israel, I reject with disgust the Hague prosecutor's comparison between democratic Israel and the mass murderers of Hamas."

In a statement, Mr Khan outlined the reasons his office was applying for the arrest warrants.
"Now, more than ever, we must collectively demonstrate that international humanitarian law, the foundational baseline for human conduct during conflict, applies to all individuals and applies equally across the situations addressed by my office and the court," he said.
"This is how we will prove, tangibly, that the lives of all human beings have equal value."
On the Hamas leaders, he said he has reasonable grounds to believe they "bear criminal responsibility" for "war crimes and crimes against humanity".
He outlined a list of alleged crimes, including murder, taking hostages and rape and other acts of sexual violence.
"We submit that the crimes against humanity charged were part of a widespread and systematic attack against the civilian population of Israel by Hamas and other armed groups pursuant to organisational policies. Some of these crimes, in our assessment, continue to this day," he said.
On Mr Netanyahu and his defence minister Mr Gallant, Mr Khan said he has reasonable grounds to believe they too "bear criminal responsibility" for "war crimes and crimes against humanity".
He outlined a list of alleged crimes, including "starvation of civilians" and "intentionally directing attacks against a civilian population".
"We submit that the crimes against humanity charged were committed as part of a widespread and systematic attack against the Palestinian civilian population pursuant to state policy. These crimes, in our assessment, continue to this day," he said.
