Israel plans to submit criminal charges against senior Hamas leaders arrested Wednesday night, Attorney General Menachem Mazuz rules; according to Central Command chief, detainees won't be used as bargaining chip
I believe SCOTUS will vote this down ...

lol

Don't laugh - Israel's Supreme Court is more activist and more left-wing than the Warren Court at the height of its drunkenness with power. If that bunch of commies in robes doesn't shut down the prosecution, then world pressure will.

Israel is screwed when trying to do things like a normal nation. There's a double standard that it has to deal with, on top of the handicap of Political Correctness and general moral decay that any leader of a Western nation who wishes to be assertive is afflicted with. The double standard is, BTW, amply demonstrated by the fact that Israel is the only nation that CANNOT be a member of the Security Council, and is further demonstrated by the crap that has gone on for decades about the Red Cross/Magen David Adom controversy.

Israel's only salvation is to be very assertive in its own defense and for its own interests - which almost certainly means doing without US aid each year - and to have more faith in The Big Guy. Trying to act like any other nation subjects Israel to the normal rules of nations...and nations of less than 8,000 square miles with 5.5 million people don't generally last very long.
