The ICC decision on Israel would make Himmler proud
by Richard Kemp
December 26, 2019

SS Reichsfuhrer Heinrich Himmler, architect and director of the Holocaust, would be proud of the latest move by Fatou Bensouda, Chief Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court. Intent on the total elimination of the Jewish race, Himmler supported Amin al-Huseini, Grand Mufti of Jerusalem, in his plans to eradicate the Jews in Palestine. Now Bensouda and the ICC have joined the international campaign aimed at eliminating the Jewish state, led by al-Huseini’s successors. In a grotesque inversion, the ICC, heir to the Nuremberg war crimes tribunal, has become a propaganda weapon of anti-Semitic hate. READ MORE

ISRAEL HAYOM Professor Avi Bell: There are no judges in The Hague Fatou Bensouda, the ICC’s chief prosecutor, has already adopted doubtful legal arguments made by the Palestinians that: The PLO comprises a state; all parts of Israel that were under illegal occupation by Jordan and Egypt from 1948-1967 – including the Old City of Jerusalem – belong to the state of Palestine; Jewish settlements are an international crime; and IDF soldiers are war criminals. Therefore, we already know what the results of the “investigation” will be and what “evidence” will be collected.

Why Trump’s Protection Leaves Jews Confused
by Ruth R. Wisse
December 22, 2019

Anti-Semi­tism is on the rise in the U.S., but the re­sponse from Amer­i­ca’s Jews has been con­fused. Don­ald Trump is the first pres­i­dent to con­front anti-Semi­tism by rec­og­niz­ing Jerusalem as Is­rael’s cap­i­tal and by ex­tend­ing civil-rights pro­tec­tion to Jew­ish col­lege stu­dents in the U.S. Yet some Jews and Jew­ish or­ga­ni­za­tions con­demn him as an anti-Semite and de­nounce his ini­tia­tives. One rea­son, per­versely, is the suc­cess of Holo­caust teach­ing. Amer­i­cans raised on this his­tory are so used to Nazi vil­lainy that they can­not imag­ine any other form of anti-Jew­ish pol­i­tics. READ MORE

ALGEMEINER Charles Jacobs and Avi Goldwasser: America’s Failed Jewish Leadership Must Resign It’s hard to ignore the simple fact that Jewish leaders have failed to stop or even slow down the accelerating epidemic of Jew-hatred in America. Good intentions and doing their “best” is not good enough. It’s irrational to continue with the current policies and leaders and expect different results. Part of the reason for their failure is that many mainstream Jewish leaders have failed to fully understand the new threats we face.

From The Gambia to The Hague: Meet Israel’s new public enemy number one
by Raphael Ahren
December 26, 2019

Israel has many detractors, real and imagined, but since Friday the country has a brand new public enemy number one: Fatou Bensouda, the chief prosecutor of the International Criminal Court. Since announcing her intention to open an investigation into the “situation in Palestine” because she believes war crimes “have been or are being committed” there, the 58-year-old Gambia native has endured a massive wave of criticism. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu repeatedly accused her of “pure anti-Semitism,” comparing the legalistic argumentation she put forward to the anti-Jewish decrees by the villains of the Hanukkah story.

‘They lie to you’: Trump previously held private meetings with Navy SEALs to candidly discuss Afghanistan war
by David Choi
December 23, 2019

Months after taking office in 2017 and hoping to get a better understanding of America’s longest war, President Donald Trump began taking meetings with enlisted US service members who deployed to Afghanistan. “I want to sit down with some enlisted guys that have been there,” Trump told advisers, according to the national security journalist Peter Bergen’s latest book, “Trump and His Generals: The Cost of Chaos.”…The meetings were intended for candid discussions about the war in Afghanistan, which was nearing its 16th year at the time, with US troops who served on the front lines.

250 new laws will greet Illinoisans January 1, but none slow the state’s steep decline
by Ted Dabrowski
December 26, 2019

Do a quick scan of the 255 new laws taking effect in Illinois on January 1 and it won’t take you long to realize that Illinois pols have done nothing to fix the state’s broader mess. None of those laws stop the Illinois’ deep fiscal dive and the record flight of its residents. For sure, a few laws are easy to support, like the doubling of burial benefits for first responders killed in the line of duty. But the majority just take care of special interest groups or add mandates to Illinois’ already inefficient governments. And the stuff that affects everyone – from property tax relief to pension reform to local government consolidation – is nowhere to be seen. READ MORE

Michael Pompeo, Secretary of State
December 20, 2019

Today, the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court (ICC), Fatou Bensouda, announced that she has concluded her preliminary examination into the so-called “situation in Palestine” and asked the ICC judges to confirm that the Court may exercise jurisdiction over the West Bank, East Jerusalem, and Gaza. By taking this action, the Prosecutor expressly recognized that there are serious legal questions about the Court’s authority to proceed with an investigation. READ MORE

JPOST Naftali Bennett: The Hague’s ICC is home of modern antisemitism Bennett said the ICC comes from an antisemitic starting point, such that Israel will always lose because it is the Jewish State and Israel should not try to ingratiate itself to the court. “Every time the hypocritical world scolds us and we accept it, they want more. The Hague is the workshop of modern antisemitism. And now, when the picture is clear, we must treat them as such”
