John, There has been a major development in the endless lawfare being waged against Israel. The smoke had barely cleared from the devastating slaughter of Israelis by Hamas and the ensuing near-daily barrage of rockets against Israeli civilians before the International Criminal Court (ICC) and the U.N. began to wage another kind of insidious war – lawfare – against our ally.
The ICC issued arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Israel's former defense minister. This lawless weaponization of international law to further Hamas' goal of the devastation and destruction of Israel is horrific and disgusting. The ACLJ submitted a first round of briefs to the ICC to fight back, and in a huge breakthrough, the ICC appellate court is forcing the lower chamber to actually consider Israel's legal arguments. The ACLJ is mobilizing our offices in Jerusalem and Europe to prepare a new round of ICC amicus briefs to defend Israel's right to defend itself – to exist as a Jewish nation. We also just sent 59 legal demands to the U.N. Secretary-General, ICC Prosecutor, and world leaders in defense of Israel, and we are preparing a new written legal submission to the U.N. Human Rights Council NEXT WEEK. As we take on this new legal front in the war to defend Israel, we urgently need your support. Take action with the ACLJ to fight back for Israel. Sign Our Petition: Stop the Evil Attacks on Israel.
