What people may not know: Americans for Peace Now, The New Israel Fund,The Israel Policy Forum, The Middle East Peace Foundation and J St Instigated a strategy to weaponize  the ICC- The International Criminal Court –  against Israel. 
 
These are the  same organizations that handed over lists of Jews who are cituzens of Israel to be sanctioned by the US government.
 
Question:
 
Since  Americans for Peace Now signed an MOU with the Conference of Presidents of Major Jewish Organizations that they will not  undermine  Israel as a condition to join the conference, what steps will  the conference take?

  1. I support Israel, not necessarily Bibi. I trust neither Bibi nor the ICC. I have no idea if the ICC is right because I do not understand what Bibi is trying to do. If most of what he did was necessary to protect Israel, then I back it up. However, Bibi left plenty of room for doubt, and he has done things that create perceptions in America which cast blame on all Jews. That makes it much tougher on us. I do believe that Israel’s territories are Israeli land. However, if he wants to annex the so-called West Bank, I would like to know how he will accomplish it without bloodshed. He does not care how his tactics affect American Jews, leaving us on our own in a growing anti-Semitic environment, so he is on his own with the ICC.

  3. I think- to quote – “ White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre stressed that the administration rejects the ICC decision and disagrees with other countries that accepted the decision.
    “We are not going to be executing any arrest warrants, that is not something we are going to do from here,” she stated.
    She noted that the US believes the process was flawed and explained: “In contrast to how he (the prosecutor) has treated others, including (Venezuelan President) Nicolás Maduro and his associates, he failed to provide Israel with a meaningful opportunity to engage constructively and to properly consider its domestic processes. This calls into question the credibility of the prosecutor’s investigation and the decision today.
    Jean-Pierre added that “we believe, and we’ve been clear, that the ICC does not have the jurisdiction over this matter. So we’ve been very clear about that and that stance has not changed.”
    To quote Netanyahu, “”We issue millions of text messages, phone calls, leaflets to the citizens of Gaza to get them out of harm’s way – while the Hamas terrorists do everything in their power to keep them in harm’s way, including shooting them, using them as human shields.”
    “The court in The Hague accuses us of a deliberate policy of starvation. This, when we have supplied Gaza with 700,000 tons of food to feed the people of Gaza. That’s 3,200 calories for every man, woman, and child in Gaza. And these supplies are routinely looted by Hamas terrorists, who deprive their people of much-needed food.”
    Israel facilitated the vaccination of 97 percent of the people of Gaza against polio.”

    Dropping leaflets of warning to the Gazans…the very Gazans that ALLOWED tunnels to be built under their schools, hospitals and homes… absolutely displays humanitarian consideration…deserved or not. Actually – another name for ALLOWING tunnels is co-conspirator…NOT innocent victim. That Hamas interfered with delivery of humanitarian aide…is hardly the fault of Netanyahu….

    In my humble opinion, this disgraceful, antisemitic, biased, misinformed – or simply a deliberate and purposeful determination…to bring PM down along with Israel.

    Banking on the good people who have influence…it will never happen. Sadly – the worst antisemittes are fellow Jews. WE just have to be louder!
