Sadly, there is little sign of penitence or self-awareness in the reactions of Israeli politicians. President Herzog: "The announcement of the prosecutor at the ICC is beyond outrageous, and shows the extent to which the international judicial system is in danger of collapsing. "Taken in bad faith, this one-sided move represents a unilateral political step that emboldens terrorists around the world, and violates all the basic rules of the court according to the principle of complementarity and other legal norms." The Foreign Minister: "A historic disgrace that will be remembered forever". The Finance Minister: the decision will be “the last nail in the dismantling of this political and antisemitic court." As usual, the response to criticism is an attempt to discredit the critics by smearing them with accusations of antisemitism. |
