Former Israeli Supreme Court Justice: Request for Arrest Warrants from ICC Is "Blood Libel"
(Times of Israel) Jeremy Sharon - Former Supreme Court Justice Elyakim Rubinstein has described the request for arrest warrants for Israeli leaders by the International Criminal Court chief prosecutor as "a blood libel." "Requesting these arrest warrants is wrong and not appropriate in any way, not in the manner and framework in which it was done, and not in the substance [of the decision]....To juxtapose the Israeli prime minister and defense minister to the Hamas criminals is awful." "Allegations of crimes against humanity such as starvation against Gazans simply have not happened - there is a hidden line connecting between the ICC allegations and the proceedings against Israel in the International Court of Justice on allegations of genocide, which are both blood libels."
