The Court of Terror-Enabling Clowns

The UN’s International Kangaroo Court of Injustice has handed down its pre-ordained verdict: World Court Says Israel’s Barrier Must Go.

THE HAGUE (Reuters) - The World Court said Israel’s barrier in the West Bank should be torn down and called on the United Nations Friday to stop a project it said had illegally imposed hardship on thousands of Palestinians.

In a non-binding opinion hailed by Palestinians and rejected by Israel, the court said the barrier violated international humanitarian law and could presage the annexation of territory occupied by the Jewish state in the 1967 Middle East war.

The ruling could heighten Israel’s concern about sanctions although its key ally the United States has vetoed Security Council resolutions against the Jewish state in the past.

Washington dismissed the U.N. court’s intervention and the American on the 15-judge panel wrote a dissenting opinion.

“The wall … cannot be justified by military exigencies or by the requirements of national security or public order,” said Judge Shi Jiuyong of China as he read out the ruling.

“The construction of such a wall accordingly constitutes breaches by Israel of its obligations under the applicable international humanitarian law.”
