#1 The ICC can investigate alleged war crimes in the territory of a state party, if the U.N. Security Council refers a situation to the court or if a non-state party voluntarily accepts the jurisdiction of the court.

Except that, in the previous sentence,

Israel has not signed the Rome Statute, which created the ICC.

I think Israel needs to buy half an hour of prime time on key EU television stations, and simply replay Shimon Peres' half hour at Davos. Send a copy to each member of the ICC, along with the message that the Jews submitted to Europe murdering 6 million once. But they will not do so a second time... and they will consider continued pursuit of this case as an act of genocidal war on the part of the EU and respond accordingly.

Somebody needs to send this and the Davos YouTube link to Rush Limbaugh, et al, and gin up an anti-Europe boycott until the ICC walks away from this too-bright idea.

#3 The International Kangaroo Dhimmi Court and its depraved shills in the Euro media may want to ponder the case of one Julius Streicher.

Follow his path, share his fate.

#7 Relocate the UN and ICC to Gaza City. The diplomats and lawyers can hang out on the beach and give all the Hamas guys jobs as waiters and busboys. Win-win.

#8 U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights Navi Pillay last month called for independent investigations into possible war crimes after Israel's shelling of a U.N. school compound killed 42 people, including women and children, on Jan. 6.

Except now the UN says it didn't happen. So much for the ICC case.

#9 How about Israel submits war crimes claims for Hamas hiding out among civilians, storing weapons in hospitals and mosques, using human shields, etc etc etc?
Is that crickets I hear?

#10 Luis Moreno-Ocampo said: "My work is now to analyze this in accordance with (international) law."

But this time around Luis, there are people in Israel who'll be analyzing you.
