Travesty at The Hague: The International Court Rules on Israel's Security Fence

Washington Post ^ | July 16, 2004 | Charles Krauthammer

[O.C. - Old Cracker]

Among various principles invoked by the International Court of Justice in its highly publicized decision on Israel's security fence is this one: It is a violation of international law for Jews to be living in the Jewish quarter of Jerusalem.

[O.C. - Old Cracker]

What makes the travesty complete is that this denial of Israel's right to defend itself because doing so might violate "humanitarian" rights was read in open court by the chief judge representing China, whose government massacred hundreds of its own citizens demonstrating peacefully in Tiananmen Square. Not since Libya was made chairman of the Commission on Human Rights has the U.N. system put on such a shameless display of hypocrisy.

...one of the signatories of this attempt to force Israel to tear down its most effective means of preventing the slaughter of innocent Jews was the judge from Germany.

May they follow wisdom and ignore the ignoble court.

"It is a violation of international law for Jews to be living in the Jewish quarter of Jerusalem."

Americans living in America ?

Canadians living in Canada ?

The U N and The International Court should form the New Atlantis on the floor of the Atlantic Ocean.

About 10,000 feet deep would be about right!

If this Kangaroo Court had been around during the 1940's, the war would have turned out a lot better for Adolph Hitler.

Why don't they just tell the Israelis to wear signs that read "Bomb Me, Please, I Insist."

[Dan from Michigan]

This ruling is simply a travishamrockery.

And the World Court and UN is nothing more than a clustermuck.
