The sham court in the Hague is about to condemn Israel, meanwhile, they've more important things to attend to:

In an ironic turn of events, the international trial against Israel's self-defense against Palestinian terrorism began today, precisely as Israeli families continue to bury their dead from the latest murderous attack. "Sort of like the orphan who tries to prevent the murder of his parents by striking at the killer and is then put on trial for assault," commented Arutz-7's Yosef Meiri.

The International Court of Justice (ICJ) in The Hague, Holland, began hearing arguments today on the mostly-completed 450-mile barrier of fences, ditches, watch posts and - for 3-5% of it - concrete walls that Israel is erecting in and around Judea and Samaria. The UN General Assembly requested the hearing, expected to last three days, and both Arab and Jewish groups have sent hundreds of protestors to The Hague to present their cases. The Arabs of the PA claim the barrier is a land grab and a form of apartheid preventing them from accessing their lands freely. Israel says, first of all, that it saves lives, and that if it were not for Palestinian terrorism, there would be no need for the fence. It further maintains that the barrier is not permanent, that it affects both Jews and Arabs on both sides, and that it is not in the jurisdiction of international bodies to tell Israel how to protect its citizens.


The nations of the world with any sense of shame have rightly chosen not to attend.
