   Israeli here.

   Just a reminder: the ICC was founded in the aftermath of WWII, when Jews had no voice and no one fighting for them.

   Israel’s finance minister, one of the most senior ministers in the government:

   “No one in the world will allow us to starve two million civilians to death, even though it may be justified and moral, until our hostages are returned.”

   Israel’s defense minister:

   “I have ordered a complete siege on the Gaza Strip. There will be no electricity, no food, no fuel. Everything is closed. We are fighting human animals, and we are acting accordingly.”

   Someone should prosecute those bastards.

      So sad to see that the Israel of Yitzhak Rabin only exists in traces anymore. He was not perfect, but after Peres it mostly went downhill... Ehud Olmert comes to mind as a positive influence in Israeli politics though.

         Ehud Olmert was corrupt tho, he did have a plan to leave the west bank, it will be interesting to think where would we have been if it happens. Probably back to occupying sooner or later because of rocket attacks.
