A global assault on Judaism and Israel’s leadership
AS Western nations pledge to enforce ICC warrants, concern grows for Israel and global Jewish security
We are in the midst of a large-scale multi-front attempt to negate the idea of Judaism. Last week’s International Criminal Court’s arrest warrants against the leaders of the Jewish state resemble efforts of previous European assaults on Judaism. But what was alarmingly different this time was the immediate commitment made by Western governments to collaborate.
This included Canada, the EU, the Netherlands, and indeed France, which for the second time in 80 years pledged to arrest Jews, should it be asked to do so.
The ICC made clear in its November 21 warrant that its aim goes far beyond Prime Minister Netanyahu and former Defense Minister Gallant. The war crimes they are accused of committing, such as starvation and murder of the Palestinian population, are committed “jointly with others,” the ICC declared.
The alleged crimes are committed by Israeli soldiers, as well as those who support them. Indeed, in recent months, the ICC and International Criminal Court (ICJ) have been preparing the legal groundwork for the mass arrest of Israeli Jews.
The mere threat of mass arrests could paralyze travel and cripple the Israeli economy. What Israeli would risk traveling to, or through, Europe?
An attack on the values of the American Revolution
But the ICC did not just target the Jewish state last week. As discussed in a previous column article, the West’s assault on Judaism is also a threat to US national security.
Israel is viewed by top military experts as the most moral army in the world. Therefore, the ICC “starting” with Israel sets a low bar for what could come after. Indeed, without much fanfare, the ICC last week appointed itself to the role of deciding “who will live and who will die.”
Conceptually, the ICC is defying the American motto of “One nation under God” and replacing it with “One world under the ICC.” The precedent and template have been set last week. It was fully endorsed by France, Canada, the EU and many others. Now it is up to the ICC to decide who is next.
