Netanyahu: We Will Overcome the ICC, Just as We Overcame Other Anti-Semites in History


(Prime Minister's Office) Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Sunday at the Hanukkah candle-lighting ceremony: "2,200 years ago, the Maccabees fought the war of liberation for the Jewish people and the Jewish faith against the anti-Semitic Greeks. They wanted to extinguish our faith, to stamp on our freedom, to drive us out of this land, to say that we have no right to exist." "In the year 2019...the International Criminal Court, that should know otherwise, has set forth decrees that are just as anti-Semitic as the decrees of the Greeks. They say the Jews do not have a right to settle in the Jewish homeland. They say the Jews do not have a right to live in the land of the Jews, in the Land of Israel. Well, we say, shame on you. The light of truth lights here and we will overcome you, just as we overcame other anti-Semites in history."
