| Israel tells World Court to pound sand |
| 2004-07-03 |
| Israel’s foreign minister yesterday told the Bush administration that his nation will not abide by a World Court ruling on the legality of its West Bank barrier and pressed for U.S. support to block any U.N. action against the Jewish state.     "We believe that Israel can deal with this issue by itself," Israeli Foreign Minister Silvan Shalom said in the White House driveway after a meeting with U.S. National Security Adviser Condoleezza Rice. "We can’t accept any external involvement from the International Court of Justice. The White House also objects to intervention on the matter from the International Court of Justice, also known as the World Court. In a January filing with the World Court, the Bush administration said the top U.N. court does not have jurisdiction to mediate the dispute.     More than two dozen countries, including France, which protested the U.S.-led war in Iraq, oppose intervention by the court. Even France. Looks like nobody loves the court except the Belgians. |

| #3 So the Israelis and thre U.S. don't give a flying &%#$^% about the world court I wouldn't say that Israel is 100% confident about the US not giving a flying leap about the World Court, or else there would be no need for Israel to do the following: and pressed for U.S. support to block any U.N. action against the Jewish state. |
