Diplomatic Suggestion of the Day: "Israel Needs to Invade The Hague"
Sunday, February 1, 2009 at 8:02
The Jerusalem Post features a sensible post-Gaza suggestion from Nitsana Darshan-Leitner, the director of the Shurat Hadin - Israel Law Center:
The Knesset [Israeli Parliament] must immediately legislate a far-reaching law prohibiting any agency, court or citizen from cooperating or passing information to any war crimes tribunal. It should block access to foreign investigators, including UN special rapporteurs. The government should be empowered to utilize all necessary force to resist any effort to arrest IDF officers accused of war crimes anywhere in the world.
Foreign countries should be made to understand we mean business.
