Netanyahu: The Palestinians Have More to Fear from the ICC than Israel
(Jerusalem Post) Herb Keinon - Responding to the Palestinian decision to join the International Criminal Court and file complaints against Israel, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the PA, which is in a unity government with Hamas, should be more concerned about the ICC than Israel. Calling the soldiers of the IDF "the most moral soldiers in the world," Netanyahu said Hamas was an avowed terrorist organization that - like Islamic State - commits war crimes. "We will rebuff this additional effort to impose a diktat on us," he said. Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman said the Palestinians are responsible for the "indiscriminate murder of men, women, children and babies for the last 100 years," and that "the only ones committing war crimes in this conflict are the Palestinians themselves."
