Palestinian officials called the decision a "black day for human rights" and said they might file a complaint with the UN Security Council and the International Criminal Court.

Ah yes! I see a pattern forming! 'I don't like what my sovereign national Supreme Court sez, so I'm going to the ICC!!'

Grand. The ICC could turn every legal issue in the world into a Floriduh-supreme-court-type fiasco. Scary.

Other things to note:

So on the one hand, their judiciary reigns in the military, and at the same time, they participate in the prevention of "future crimes." A mixed bag fer sure.

Justice would see these families as accessories to murder dance on the end of a rope for all potential "future threats" to see!

It is a bit different in this case. Think about it this way - the families of these bombers are potential beneficiaries of the crime. Particularly, as according to this standard, if they actively help in the crime, surely some punishment should befall them? Expulsion in light of this is mild.

Perhaps I'm misreading you or the article, but I don't believe the "Palestinians" consider the Israeli Supreme Court to be "their" national court.
