JERUSALEM (AFP) - Israel reaffirmed its refusal to take part in the International Criminal Court (ICC) on the eve of its launch in The Hague, military radio said.

...

"We have fears ... that this court could act out of political motivations even anti-Semitic ones," Rubinstein said.

"We do not know who will be the judges, the prosecutors, the manner in which this court will function. But it has listed in its statutes all population transfers in an occupied territory as a war crime," he later told public radio.

"Or measures could be implemented against Israeli settlements or certain Israeli neighborhoods in Jerusalem."

...

The United States, Russia and China have also failed to ratify the ICC treaty.

RIGHT ON!! Europe's rising anti-Semitic policy is reason for serious concern. There is no way the ICC will be impartial, and we can never trust them to make the correct decision. We will stand with Israel.
