eretzyisrael:On September 15th 1935, with the passing of the Nuremberg Laws, literally being Jewish became a crime. In 2021, apparently, being Israel has too. The ICC, established to pursue international criminals and confront mass atrocities has, on the basis of a series of spurious allegations, allowed itself to be both politicised and weaponised against the world’s only Jewish State. Why is this important? For three reasons: the first is that Israel is not party to the ICC, and is therefore beyond its jurisdiction. The second is that only sovereign states may delegate jurisdiction to the court, and the party bringing jurisdiction in this ‘case’ is not and has never been a sovereign state. The third point is by far the most important (and concerning) of all. To understand why, we quote a precedent: in 1933, Germany passed the Ermächtigungsgesetz, or Enabling Act. As the name suggests, this enabled the passing and enforcement of new laws without the need for involvement or consultation. In effect, it both politicised and weaponised the law. On September 15th 1935, 86 years ago, the Nuremberg Laws (based on a series of totally false allegations) were passed, a set of laws that literally legalised the persecution of the Jews, and we all know what happened next. Mahmoud Abbas, the man now wishing to ‘bring charges’ against Israel is a Holocaust denier, a man who has attempted on a number of occasions to rewrite Jewish history and make it his own, a man who suggested in a 2018 speech that the Jewish people’s ‘relations with banking and moneylending had led to their persecution’, a man who has called Israel a ‘Colonial Enterprise that has nothing to do with Jewishness.’ We’ve said it before, and we’ll say it again - antisemitism and antizionism are one and the same.To the antisemite, Israel is the world’s Jew -- source link
