I’m quite sure the ‘good Israelis’ will be protesting these atrocities en masse in the streets of Tel Aviv. Yeah, any moment now . . .

J STREET CALLS EUROPEAN RECOGNITION OF PALESTINIAN STATEHOOD “IMPORTANT STEP” TO LONG-TERM CONFLICT RESOLUTION; URGES US LEADERSHIP

Today’s recognition of the State of Palestine by three European nations – Norway, Spain and Ireland – is an important step on the road to meaningful conflict resolution.

J Street@jstreetdotorg
We urge Congressional leaders not to look to score political points by attacking the Court and its legitimate place in the international legal order. Calls to penalize or intimidate ICC officials do not serve U.S. interests in a stable world order rooted in the rule of law.
