PLO Threatens to Go to ICC - to Protect Terrorist Salaries

"The PLO has again gone beyond satire. From the official Palestinian Authority new agency Wafa:

'Member of the Executive Committee of the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO), Saleh Rafat, said Thursday that any Israeli action against financial allowances made to families of prisoners and those killed by Israel is unacceptable... He said if Israel does carry out such an act, then the Palestinian Authority will take it to the International Criminal Court.'

Yes, a PLO official is saying that Israel must pay the people who try to, or succeed, in murdering Israeli citizens - under international law.

Please, please go to the ICC, Mr. Rafat.

And beyond that: Please publicize this Israeli human rights violation widely. Especially in Europe, where Palestinians still have significant support among the people.

Please ask Amnesty and HRW to join you in this campaign. Publicly.

Please make sure that Mahmoud Abbas makes this demand the next time he addresses the UN.

Saleh Rafat, by all means, expose Israeli human rights abuses by its reluctance to reward terrorists and their families."
