International Court's Attack on Israel a Sign of the Free World's Moral Collapse
(New York Post) Dan Illouz - Israel has always stood as a beacon of democracy and freedom, a nation committed to upholding the highest moral standards. But in a world where terror thrives and global institutions falter, adhering to morality does not guarantee justice. The International Criminal Court targets not the true perpetrators of war crimes, but those who dare to defend their people and values. Let us be clear: Israel fights for its survival and for the values that underpin the Free World - freedom, democracy and human dignity. These are the values that Hamas and its backers, including Iran, seek to destroy. The ICC and other international bodies have chosen to attack those who fight to preserve the very freedoms they claim to cherish. Throughout history, Israel and the Jewish people have often stood alone against overwhelming odds. But they prevailed. The ICC can issue as many baseless indictments as it pleases, but Israel will not be swayed. It will continue to fight terror, protect its citizens, and uphold the values that the Free World so desperately needs. Because without Israel standing firm, the Free World stands no chance.
