In a video posted on Facebook, Waters launched into one his now famous rants, telling Wonder: “This is an apartheid regime. This is Israel. You will be whitewashing them beyond all belief if you accept the prize.”
Israel bashing
‘Anti-Semitism is alive and well in The Hague’
Israeli public figures responded to the ICC announcement that it would investigate Israel for alleged war crimes in Gaza and Judea and Samaria.
Professor Eugene Kontorovich, Director of International Law at the Jerusalem-based Kohelet Policy Forum said the ICC’s opening of the investigation “is entirely unjustified – and predictable, given its longstanding lawless bias against the Jewish state.”
“The Prosecutor today makes a mockery of international criminal law,” he added, accusing the court of becoming a “judicial arm of the U.N. anti-Israel echo chamber.”
The Duped Generation that Supports BDS
Yet again we approach the depths of the annual Jew Hate Week around the world. Its organizers know better than to call it what it is. They brand their hatefest “Israel Apartheid Week”, but their true meaning and purpose is blindingly obvious. Since its early festerings in Toronto in 2005, Jew Hate Week has inflicted itself on the world, polluting universities from America to Australia and from South Africa to Northern Ireland.
The absurd malevolence of the International Criminal Court
(JNS) It’s hard to exaggerate the hypocrisy, malice and sheer absurdity of the decision by the International Criminal Court last week that the Palestinians have the authority of a state to bring a case against Israelis for war crimes.
The 60-page ruling piled nonsense upon malevolence. It constituted the response to a question posed by the ICC’s chief prosecutor, Fatou Bensouda, who wanted a green light for the criminal investigation of Israel and the Palestinians that she announced in 2019.
The International Criminal Court Threatens Middle East Peace
The International Criminal Court (ICC) waited until after US President Joe Biden took the oath of office before unilaterally handing itself territorial jurisdiction over Israel — more than a full year since the pre-trial chamber was asked to rule on the matter. Mindful of President Donald J. Trump’s sanctions against ICC staff, including revoking Chief Prosecutor Fatou Bensouda’s US entry visa, and his warnings against efforts to brand Israel and other allies as war criminals, court officials lacked the steel to make an announcement while he remained in the Oval Office.
Joshua Rozenberg: The Hague puts Israel in the crosshairs
Does the jurisdiction of the International Criminal Court include “territory occupied by Israel during the Six-Day War in June 1967, namely the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, and Gaza”? That’s the question the International Criminal Court’s chief prosecutor, Fatou Bensouda, asked a three-judge “pre-trial chamber” more than a year ago. If, as she argues, the court has jurisdiction over these territories, she can begin a formal investigation into whether “members of the Israel Defence Forces, Israeli (civilian) authorities, Hamas and Palestinian armed groups” have committed war crimes there. That, she accepts, turns on whether Palestine is a “state” for the purposes of the court’s founding treaty. The Palestinians are a party to the Rome Statute; Israel is not.
ICC Decides Its Jurisdiction Extends to Territories Controlled by Israel Since 1967 Six Day War
The court has for years been examining allegations of war crimes committed by Israel since 2014. The investigation started one month before both sides fought a war, which left more than 2,000 Palestinians, including civilians dead.
The International Criminal Court said it had decided by majority that its territorial jurisdiction “in the situation in Palestine” extends to territories held by Israel since 1967 Six-Day War, namely Gaza and the West Bank, including East Jerusalem. The court’s announcement paves the way for an investigation. However, the ICC noted that it is not “constitutionally competent” to determine matters of statehood that would bind the international community.
The ICC, like the UN, is yet another corrupt institution dominated by shithole states.
Equating Zionism With White Supremacy in the Age of Trump
The newest thrust in the campus tactical assault against Israel.
Nazifying ideological opponents is a tactic that campus anti-Israel groups and individuals have long used as part of the ongoing cognitive war against Israel, in which Zionism is racism, Israelis are the new Nazis, Gaza is equivalent to the Warsaw Ghetto, Israel is committing genocide against the guiltless Palestinians (a “Holocaust in the Holy Land,” as one student event called it), and the Star of David of the Israeli flag is regularly manipulated to incorporate a swastika.
