Resist the Global Intifada

America must stand with Israel against the ICC

As Israel defeats its enemies on the battlefields in Gaza and Lebanon, the intifada has gone global. The fronts of the war against the Jewish state encompass America's cities, the United Nations, the U.S. Senate, and the International Criminal Court. Marches, resolutions, embargoes, arrest warrants—these are the tactics by which Hamas sympathizers worldwide intend to isolate Israel diplomatically, undermine Israel's war against terrorism, and intimidate the Jewish people.

Only one response is appropriate. America must stand in the breach. America must provide Israel with the cover and support it needs to cripple Hamas and Hezbollah and restore deterrence to the Middle East.

These are perilous times. The president is a lame duck. The vice president is nowhere to be seen. The next administration does not take office until January 20. Thus Israel's adversaries—and America's—sense an opportunity.

This week began, for example, with an anti-Israel march through a predominantly Jewish neighborhood in Brooklyn. The protesters targeted a Jewish community center where a presentation on real estate opportunities in Israel was taking place. Police arrested two individuals when the demonstration turned violent. A few residents described the incident as a nuisance. But that is a mistake. A nuisance is something that can be ignored or forgotten. The Marine Park march cannot be ignored, cannot be excused. Why? Because it is another step toward the normalization of anti-Semitism in the United States of America.
