He carries the stink of fear


The fear that the scales will fall from the eyes of the world and Israel's brutal and murderous oppression of the Palestinians will be shown to the world for exactly what it is. That is why Israeli Prime Minister Benny "Bugsy" Netanyahu is protesting loudly, much too loudly, about the decision of the International Criminal Court to open a preliminary investigation of Israel's actions.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Saturday lashed out at a decision by the prosecutor of the International Criminal Court to launch an initial investigation into alleged war crimes committed in the Palestinian territories.

Netanyahu called the move by ICC prosecutor Fatou Bensouda “preposterous.”

The court announced Bensouda’s decision on Friday and said the “preliminary examination” was intended to determine if there were grounds for a full-scale war crimes investigation. The probe into “the situation in Palestine” could cover alleged violations of the laws of war by Israel and the militant Islamist group Hamas during last summer’s conflict in the Gaza Strip, and could also examine Israeli settlement construction in the West Bank and East Jerusalem.

The ICC said that “no timelines” had been set for the examination, which it described as standard practice after a state joins the court, a step the Palestinians took earlier this month.

The foreign minister of the Palestinian Authority, Riyad Malki, welcomed the ICC probe, calling it “historic,” and a spokesman for Hamas in Gaza said it was an “important step” toward bringing Israelis before the international tribunal.

Netanyahu, who has vowed to defend Israeli soldiers against possible war crimes charges abroad, said that Israel “categorically rejects” the prosecutor’s move.
The evidence is pretty much out in the open. Bugsy is scared that any serious investigation will destroy the vast 'smoke & mirrors' that pretends it is something else. Without that, Israeli has no defense of its criminal activities.
