ZIONIST ORGANIZATION OF AMERICA OP-ED ZOA Oped: Reimpose Sanctions on Anti-Israel International Criminal Court By Morton A. Klein (NOVEMBER 29, 2021 / South Florida Sun-Sentinel) The Palestinian Authority (PA) employs multiple heinous, illegal, immoral methods in its war to destroy the Jewish state. Those methods include violence (inciting and paying terrorists to murder Jews); economic warfare (anti-Israel boycotts); propaganda (demonizing Jews and Israel with countless blood libels); and “lawfare” – filing fake “war crimes” claims against Israel in the biased “legal” forums such as the politicized “International Criminal Court” (ICC). In February, the ICC decided to move forward with investigating Israel, in a case filed by the PA misleadingly entitled, “the Situation in Palestine” – despite the ICC’s lack of jurisdiction and lack of any basis for this investigation. Then-Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu condemned the ICC’s perverse antisemitic decision, explaining: “When the International Criminal Court investigates Israel for fake war crimes – this is pure antisemitism. The court that was established to prevent atrocities like the Nazi Holocaust against the Jewish people is now targeting the one state of the Jewish people. First, it outrageously claims that when Jews live in our homeland, this is a war crime. Second, it claims that when democratic Israel defends itself against terrorists who murder our children and rocket our cities – we are committing another war crime. Yet the ICC refuses to investigate brutal dictatorships like Iran and Syria, who commit horrific atrocities almost daily.” READ MORE ZIONIST ORGANIZATION OF AMERICA 2021 VIRTUAL SUPERSTAR GALA SUNDAY, DECEMBER 19, 2021 REGISTER NOW! ‌ ‌ ‌ About Us News Videos ZOA Report Events Founded in 1897, ZOA played a key role in the Jewish State's re-establishment.
