The Israeli Foreign Ministry released this statement regarding this week's proceedings at the International Kangaroo Court of "Justice" in the Hague:
The suicide bomber who blew up the number 14 bus in Jerusalem yesterday, murdering 8 people, and wounding more than 50, was a member of Yasser Arafat's own Al Aksa martyrs brigade.Read the whole thing. Posted by Stefan Sharkansky at February 26, 2004 12:22 PMCould anything be more shameful than recruiting, inciting, and paying the murderer of 8 children - students, parents, the brother-in-law of Israel's commercial attache here in the Hague? Could anything be more shameful than that?
And the answer is yes, there is something more shameful: To do all this and then come to the city of The Hague, to ask the United Nation's Court of Justice to censure the victims of terror for trying to defend themselves. To come to the 'Palace of Peace', to the 'Court of Justice', on the very morning that the victims are being buried and mourned, murdered by Arafat's own henchman, to attack Israel for building a fence which might have saved their lives.
What breaks my heart besides the anti-Semitic nature of the so-called Court of Justice most is this statement
"The aim of the fence is simply that; to save lives. In fact it is to slow down the terrorists by up to 15 minutes, to enable the defense forces to stop them."
15 minutes! It is so gut wrenchingly sad that a country has to hope that they have an extra 15 minutes on their side to stop their citizens from being murdered by thugs who hate anything that is not Islamic.
We are living in Bizarro world.
