Netanyahu Responds

As expected, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu blasted the International Criminal Court in a blistering statement. Here are some excerpts of his remarks.

“The outrageous decision by the ICC prosecutor, Karim Khan, to seek arrest warrants against the democratically elected leaders of Israel is a moral outrage of historic proportions. . .

“Israel is waging a just war against Hamas, a genocidal terrorist organization that perpetrated the worst attack on the Jewish people since the Holocaust. . . Now, in the face of these horrors, Mr. Khan creates a twisted and false moral equivalence between the leaders of Israel and the henchmen of Hamas. . .

“The prosecutor’s absurd charges . . . are merely an attempt to deny Israel the basic right of self-defense. . . He is callously pouring gasoline on the fires of anti-Semitism that are raging across the world. . .

“Israel will wage our war against Hamas until that war is won. Because ‘Never Again’ is now.”

Netanyahu is absolutely right. The ICC’s actions have justified every radical Islamist and anti-Israel extremist who has spewed hatred the streets of every major world city or occupied college campuses in support of Hamas.

It is a sad testament to the moral bankruptcy of these globalist institutions when they can’t defend a democratic state against a terrorist organization.

Thankfully, the vast majority of Americans are not so confused. Consider these findings from the latest Harvard Harris poll:

• 79% of Americans support Israel over Hamas.
• 74% support Israel’s current military operation in Rafah.
• 69% believe Israel is doing its best to avoid civilian casualties.
• 66% believe a ceasefire should only occur after all hostages have been freed and Hamas is removed from power.
• 56% believe Biden’s threats to withhold weapons from Israel emboldens Hamas.
