Israel Gives World Court The Finger

Israel will not abide by the sham decision of the World Court:

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Israel's foreign minister said on Friday his government would not accept a World Court ruling on the legality of its West Bank barrier and pressed for U.S. support to block any U.N. action against the Jewish state.
The International Court of Justice, also known as the World Court, will render its judgment in a public hearing on July 9, one of the most high-profile rulings in its 58-year history.

"We believe that Israel can deal with this issue by itself," Israeli Foreign Minister Silvan Shalom said at the White House after talks with U.S. national security adviser Condoleezza Rice. "We can't accept any external involvement from the International Court of Justice."

"We don't believe it's the place that this issue should be discussed. It should be discussed between the two parties -- the Israelis and the Palestinians -- with other members that are involved in the peace process," he told reporters.


The wall is working like nothing else has. Lives are being saved. If Hamas, al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigade, France, Germany and the UN are against the fence, it must be a good thing.
