International court warns Israel may be charged over Gaza deaths
Arutz Sheva ^ | 8/4/18 | David Rosenberg

The International Criminal Court at The Hague may prosecute Israel over the deaths of Arab rioters who clashed with IDF forces on the Gaza-Israel frontier over the past week and a half, a top ICC official warned Sunday.

Chief Prosecutor for the ICC Fatou Bensouda issued a statement Sunday demanding an end to the use of violence on the border between Israel and Gaza, and suggested that both Israel and the Hamas terror organization could be held responsible for the deaths of some 30 Arab rioters and terrorists killed since activists launched six weeks of violent protests on the frontier on March 30th.

"The resort to violence must stop," Bensouda said. "Any person who incites or engages in acts of violence including by ordering, requesting, encouraging or contributing in any other manner to the commission of crimes within ICC's jurisdiction is liable to prosecution before the Court.”

Bensouda added that her office had launched a “preliminary” probe ahead of a possible prosecution over the use of force “in Palestine” in recent years.

“The situation in Palestine is under preliminary examination by my office.”

“While a preliminary examination is not an investigation, any new alleged crime committed in the context of the situation in Palestine may be subjected to my office’s scrutiny.”

The ICC Chief Prosecutor hinted that her office would examine both Israeli use of force and Hamas use of human shields in Gaza for possible prosecution.

Israel . . . could be held responsible for the deaths of some 30 Arab rioters and terrorists

I see no problem at all with dead rioters and terrorists except that there are not enough of them. Israel needs to stop holding back.

I see a danger Israel is going to be hauled in front of a UN kangaroo court for defending its borders.

Oh wait... Israel is not a party to the Rome treaty. Bensouda can stuff her threats where the sun don’t shine.

The socalled ICC needs to be shut down. It serves no essential purpose that cannot be dealt with through regular channels, and its Nazi propaganda and “threats” are both unacceptable and NON-Judicial in the extreme.
Meahwhile, they can GTH for all their bullbleep

When was Gaza condemned by the International Court over the terrorist deaths in Israel? Hypocrite Israel haters. Guess they go and worship a Jewish guy on Sunday’s too.

Let Israel pony up, right after the “Palestinians” pony up for 50+ years of murdering Jews.

How dare Israel try to protect its borders and its people from an enemy sworn to its destruction. Clearly, in order to satisfy the ICC, Israel simply should have allowed the enemy to cross the border unimpeded so they could begin to kill Jews.

Wikipedia lists her homeland as being 90% moslem. Wikipedia also lists *her* as being a moslem. Translation...she has no right to express an opinion here.

Fatou Bensouda, don’t blame Israel for self defense.

If the “activists and terrorists” didn’t start anything, Israel wouldn’t be responding.

After so many years, world opinion is starting to change. Many view the Palestinians as freedom fighters against Goliath.

As if anyone gives a shi...er...Obama about that toothless group of leftist social misfits.

Oh, forgot, the NYT, WaPo, LAT, and other vats of journalist bottom dwellers actually respect it.

Because they also are leftist social misfits.

The “international court” is a Soros production.

His previous longtime "prosecutor," Carla del Ponte, must be worn out.

So now he has a new stooge.

Israel to the ICC, “Go pi$$ up a rope!”

“Chief Prosecutor for the ICC Fatou Bensouda”

I had one of those Fatou Bensouda’s on my rear end, and it was a b!tch to get rid of!

Would love to see them try to seize just 1 Israeli. There would be lots of dead people at The Hague as Mossad come to claim them.

A Nigerian Law School? What’s that, a mud hut? Calling Father Guido Sarducci. He has a “five minute university” and a law school, if you’ve got a minute.

Israel gave them a Jewish God, A Jewish Savior and a Jewish Bible plus Jewish Apostles and look how they’re treated.
