ZAKA Wants to Send Blown Up Bus to The Hague
(Jerusalem Post) Amidst Israel's preparations for the ICJ hearing on the security fence, ZAKA (Disaster Victims Identification Organization) has suggested sending a display of a wrecked, charred bus to support Israel's argument that the fence is necessary for self-defense. The Foreign Ministry has announced that it is not opposed to the idea. This week, the Foreign Ministry's Deputy Director-General for Public Affairs, Gideon Meir, told Ynet that "Israeli public diplomacy will not be conducted within the courtroom's walls, but at its entrance." Foreign Ministry officials say the Palestinians "are aiming to turn the hearing into a circus, just like they did in Durban [at the UN racism conference]." "The poor Dutch don't know what's in store for them."
