RE: Palestine Today
⁜→ P F Tinmore, et al,
Well, that takes more than just external, open-source, knowledge.
(ANSWER)Israel constantly whines about so called terrorism. So then, why have they not taken any Palestinians to the ICC?
Oh, that's right, they don't have a case. All they have is BS.
Israel is not a signatory to the International Criminal Court (ICC).
◈ While the ICC is a permanent court of last resort, the court has not demonstrated its authority to prosecute State Governments (ie: State of Israel). The Rome States are written to prosecute "people."
[quote-"Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court"]
PART 1. ESTABLISHMENT OF THE COURT
Article 1
An International Criminal Court ("the Court") is hereby established. It shall be a permanent institution and shall have the power to exercise its jurisdiction over persons for the most serious crimes of international concern, as referred to in this Statute, and shall be complementary to national criminal jurisdictions. The jurisdiction and functioning of the Court shall be governed by the provisions of this Statute.

PART 3. GENERAL PRINCIPLES OF CRIMINAL LAW
Article 22
Nullum crimen sine lege
2. The definition of a crime shall be strictly construed and shall not be extended by analogy. In case of ambiguity, the definition shall be interpreted in favour of the person being investigated, prosecuted or convicted.
◈ We are not really sure that what the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) calls the: "State of Palestine" is actually a "state."✦ Ask if the "State of Palestine" is really autonomous and self-Governing?
✦ Ask if the "State of Palestine" is governed by a single authority?
✦ Ask if the "State of Palestine" can stand alone?
✦ Does the "State of Palestine" perform the functionality of a "state?"

There are many aspects to your question that need to be explored. It will be interesting to see what the final outcome of the court's activities produces.

Israel is a law free zone. It is the wild west of the Middle East. The Palestinians can't violate any international law because there is none.[/QUOTE]Israel is not a signatory to the International Criminal Court (ICC).
My goodness Tinmore. Law free zone? Wild West of the Middle East?
Your lies, your propaganda and your bullshit get more pathetic by the day.
Why don’t you look at some Muslim countries where it is ACTUALLY the Wild West...
