RE: Palestinians Massing At The Israeli Border
⁜→ Sixties Fan, et al,
I cannot understand how the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court (ICC)(Fatou Bensouda) can hold and credibility at all by demonstrating the preconceived notion
(by publicly warning that those responsible for the killing of Palestinians near the Gaza border) that Israel is responsible for the attack on the border barrier, and might be prosecuted by the ICC. What good is the Office of the Prosecutor if they are just going to prosecute the popular villain, instead of the actual Jihadist designated as a Terrorist Organization and that organized the March.
It only demonstrates how utterly corrupt the Prosecutor's Office is when it encourages the Protestors to storm the border using the great number of civilians to mask terrorist infiltration. That is a clear violation of Rule 97 of the Customary and International Humanitarian Law
(“utilizing the presence of a civilian or other protected person to render certain points, areas or military forces immune from military operations” constitutes a war crime in international armed conflicts"), ICC Statute, Article 8(2)(b)(xxiii).

- Creates a regime of universal jurisdiction over the unlawful and intentional use of explosives and other lethal devices in, into, or against various defined public places with intent to kill or cause serious bodily injury, or with intent to cause extensive destruction of the public place.
I always find it rather funny that the Arab Palestinians, who claim to be the victim in the Great Return March would openly and so brazenly violate the international convention.
Any deaths involved, in my opinion, falls on the International Coordinating Committee (ie HAMAS) for the Great Return March.
◈◈ The Office of the Prosecutor, ICC, also should be charged with an unethical act in the execution of a duty that is not illegal but is improperly performed. It is an act through which the ICC intentionally makes the allegation that → for purposes other than bringing the designated terrorist organization to justice → damages the character of a nation that is defending its territorial integrity. This action, on the part of the ICC Prosecutor, encouraged further threats to the peace, and invited a continuation for acts of aggression on the part of a designated terrorist organization.
The world can only wonder if the ICC had the aim of furthering the criminal activity to breach the border → or promote the criminal purpose of the HAMAS, where such activity or purpose involves the commission of a crime within the jurisdiction of the ICC itself. Obviously, the Prosecutor cannot prosecute itself.
Most Respectfully,
