The UK Should Pull Its Funding from the International Criminal Court
(Jewish Chronicle-UK) Ian Austin - The call by the International Criminal Court's Prosecutor Karim Khan for the arrest of Israel's leaders is an insulting disgrace. How would we have felt if Britain's leaders had been indicted alongside leaders of the IRA? If Churchill had been treated in the same way as Hitler? Britain is one of the court's most significant donors and we should withdraw funding immediately in protest. The decent mainstream majority in the UK know that Israel is the victim and has to defend itself. Israel's security services provided warnings of Iranian-sponsored Islamist terrorism that prevented attacks in the UK. Military experts say the RAF could not get its planes off the ground without Israeli technology. Their drones and armored vehicle defenses protected British troops in Afghanistan and Iraq. Good luck to politicians who try to explain why they want to deprive our security services of vital intelligence and our troops of the means to defend themselves. The lunatic fundamentalists in Iran have declared war on the West and Israel is the front-line. Hamas are completely opposed to peace with Israel. They will not stop until they have destroyed the country and murdered its citizens. There is no prospect of peace until Hamas are destroyed. This is why the UK must do everything it can to help Israel defeat the terrorists as quickly as possible.
