As ICC launches Israel War Crimes Probe, PLO & Hamas Applaud

As ICC launches Israel War Crimes Probe, PLO & Hamas Applaud.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs on Saturday said it welcomed the decision to open an initial probe on Israeli war crimes at the International Criminal Court.

The ministry said in a statement that the ICC decision was a positive and important step towards achieving justice and guaranteeing respect of international law.

Emphasis Mine

The violations of international law by Israel and the USA have been so egregious that they will ignore any findings by the ICC.

One should remember that the USA has been the only nation, so far, to have been found guilty of terrorism before the World Court. The US government just shrugged off the verdict and carried on.

There is no way to enforce such rulings against the USA short of all out nuclear war. And as long as Israel enjoys the patronage of the USA, Israel can continue to do the same.

The only power strong enough to take on the US government are the US citizeny. But they will not do this because they believe that they are guiltless and that the whole world has it in for them.
