SHABBAT READING: The Founding of Israel’s Judicial System: Prof. Bernard M. Levinson, The Torah.com, July 6, 2021 — While visiting the Israelite camp in the wilderness, Jethro grows puzzled as he observes Moses, his son-in-law, spending his entire day judging the people: שׁמות יח:יג וַיְהִי מִמָּחֳרָת וַיֵּשֶׁב מֹשֶׁה לִשְׁפֹּט אֶת־הָעָם וַיַּעֲמֹד הָעָם עַל־מֹשֶׁה מִן־הַבֹּקֶר עַד־הָעָרֶב.

Barry O’Halloran Spiked. Feb. 11, 2025 “Internally, Nderitu was coming under fire from UN staffers for refusing to go along with the anti-Israel consensus.

James S. Robbins Real Clear World, Feb. 12, 2025 “… while the United States can safely ignore ICC claims of jurisdiction, the ICC could have a harder time escaping American influence.” President Trump’s executive order placing sanctions on members of the International Criminal Court has met with strong opposition from European and other close allies […]

Brendan O’Neill Spiked, Nov. 22, 2024 “Behold the grim audacity of Justin Trudeau saying he will ‘abide’ by the ICC’s decision. Canada took part in the post-9/11 Afghan War whose consequences were far more devastating than what is happening in Gaza. … Address your own nation’s ‘crimes’, Justin.” Let’s speak plainly about what happened yesterday. […]
Caroline B. Glick JNS, Nov. 22, 2024 “While decrying the trial, the Biden administration did nothing to intervene on Israel’s behalf with the ICJ. It placed no pressure on South Africa to withdraw its case. By taking no action against the ICJ or South Africa, the Biden administration indirectly but clearly supported their decision […]

Editorial Board WSJ, Nov. 21, 2024 “Messrs. Biden and Schumer will no longer be able to protect the ICC, which conveniently waited to grant arrest warrants until after the U.S. election and before Donald Trump returns to the White House.” The International Criminal Court in The Hague issued arrest warrants Thursday for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and […]
Daniel Pomerantz Clarity with Michael Oren, Nov. 24, 2024 “… the ICC has set a legal precedent that can be applied to any IDF soldier, former soldier or reservist (which includes most citizens of Israel) as well as to U.S. soldiers and civilian leadership.” In the wake of the largest murder of Jews since the […]
