Palestine Could ‘Lose Millions in US Aid’ If They Sue Israel in ICC, Senator Warns (Threatens)!
- Why are western leaders always anti Palestinians? What is wrong with Palestine/Palestinians being part of the ICC? Don’t they deserve justice after 67+ years of genocide and ethnic cleansing by Zionist ‘666’ Israel, the Satanic counterfeit? The ruling powers of this world serve the Satanic ‘666’ Hexagram flag!

Palestine could have millions of dollars of crucial American aid withdrawn if they attempt to use their newly-acquired membership in the International Criminal Court (ICC) to sue Israel for alleged atrocities carried out during the last conflict, a Republican senator has warned.

Senator Lindsey Graham said existing US legislation “would cut off aid to the Palestinians if they filed a complaint.” The US has already hinted that using the ICC to pursue Israel would hinder the aspirations of Palestinian people for statehood. Its follows more than 40 rejections for the Palestinians’ bid for self-determination made since 1975.

At a news conference in Jerusalem, Mr Graham called the prospect of mounting a lawsuit against Israel a “bastardising of the role of the ICC” adding: “I find it incredibly offensive.”
–
“We will push back strongly to register our displeasure. It is already part of our law that would require us to stop funding if they actually bring a case,” said Mr Graham, of South Carolina.

The Obama administration has said it does not believe Palestine is a sovereign state and therefore does not qualify to be part of the ICC, but has not explicitly threatened to withhold aid. Mr Graham’s language is some of the most bullish since Palestine made its claim to become the 123rd state to join the ICC late last year.
