“The decision of the antisemitic court in The Hague proves what was already known: This court does not seek justice, but rather the persecution of Jewish people. They were silent during the Holocaust and today they continue the hypocrisy and take it another step further,” he says.
The ICJ in its current iteration was founded in 1945.
The Israeli government is losing all of its credibility.
- Weren't the UN created after WWII exactly with the whole idea to create an international body that is to prevent the atrocities that occurred in WWII? The ICJ is part of the UN and was established at 16.06.1945.
  And doesn't Israel exist because of the same agency, the UN, which they now call antisemitic, just because they dare criticize them?
  
  I mean, I will point out that the proto-Israeli terrorist group, Lehi, assassinated the top UN mediator, Folke Bernadotte, in 1948. Lehi was pardoned for their actions and glorified by the Israeli state, and their leader was Prime Minister of Israel from 1983 to 1992.

  The Israeli state historically has been very hostile to the UN.
Israelis doing whatever they can to make the word "antisemitic" lose all of its value.
- At this point I can't take it at face value unless I know who's saying it. At least in this case I know it's coming from a genocidal waste of human life.
- It already has lost its meaning. Semites are anyone who speak or spoke a semetic language. Arabic and Hebrew are both semetic languages. Palestinians and Israelis are both semites.
  
  Yes, but the term antisemetic was coined by - well - antisemetic Germans who wanted a more scientifc term for "Jew hate" explicitly.
  It doesn't matter that Arabs are semetic, the history of the term solely refers to hating Jews.
Not the Onion material
genocidist gets mad he's called a genocidist, confuses term used for hatred of a religious group with criticism of a government
one can be pro judaism (or at least neutral to it) and anti israel. someone needs to tell this clown israel≠judaism≠israel.
That's what Nazis would say.
