Another international proceeding that can be ignored . . .how to make friends and influence nations.

Israel of course has no intention of abiding by any ICC rulings against it. However, if the Court issues arrest warrants for Israeli government or IDF officials accused of war crimes or crimes against humanity, then they would be subject to arrest when traveling in countries that do abide by ICC rulings (almost all of Europe, Canada, Australia, Mexico, all of South America, and much of Africa) and could be forced to face trial at the Hague.

Spaceships would be my preference

Keep talking.

They are always welcome here.

England Signs Amendment Preventing Arrest of Israeli Officials

The Queen signed “The Police and Social Responsibility Act” that was approved by the British parliament, that includes a very important segment in favor of Israel as it states that the justice system in the Kingdom cannot “be abused for political gains”, UK ambassador in Tel Aviv, Matthew Gould, told Israeli Ynet news.

So, they can hide out in Britain like Nazi criminals hid in Argentina.

Sounds good. In the open systems of the US, our version of Mossad could easily do as they did after WWII.

The Grand Mufti was the "the undisputed leader of the Palestinian National Movement" ??????

Aside from the fact that the Grand Mufti is totally unrelated to the topic of this thread, and is not in any way relevant to the discussion evolving, I will patiently take this opportunity to once again point out:

Haj Amin al-Husseini was sentenced to 10 years in prison by the British for inciting riots in 1920. He was given amnesty by the High Commissioner of Palestine, a British Jew named Herbert Samuel, who then appointed him as Mufti of Jerusalem in 1921. Samuel was also responsible for creating the Supreme Muslim Council, which al-Husseini was appointed to lead in 1922.

He was not elected, and the Palestinians had no say in his appointment to the Supreme Muslim Council or the Arab Higher Committee.

The British eventually declared the Arab Higher Committee illegal and al-Husseini lost his presidency of the Supreme Muslim Council and went into exile in Syria. He never returned to Palestine.

By 1941, when he met Hitler, he was no longer the Mufti of Jerusalem and no longer even an appointed official representative of the Palestinian people. The volunteer Muslim forces he controlled were not Palestinian and they did not operate in Palestine.

Palestine is a geographic area. to be a Palestinian you would need to be a semmite. So being Native American would not cut it, or Arabic for that matter. I am sure there are Palestinians with all sorts of elements in their DNA, I doubt that Arab features strongly.

So some Palestinians sic being anti semite is shall we say odd.

But the so was the Catholic persecution of Jews when the Jesus was a Jew.

But then Jesus is also a Prophet in Islam...

There are many many similarities between the attitudes expressed in the Old Testament and the Koran. I would be hard pushed to thing of any major differences.

Try this, ready. It will show you how European anti-Semitism was codified and elevated in North Africa by invading forces during WWII.

I noticed this thread went off topic like a rocket due to rockets.

If only the Arabs had listened to the UN in the first place

If only Europe had kept their issues in house.

You mean like on April 1st, 1948 when the UN Security Council decided that Resolution 181 (the UN Partition Plan for Palestine) should not be implemented, and sent it back to the General Assembly to come up with something else ?
