Palestinians aim to isolate Israel
Weeks ahead of Israeli elections, Palestinian officials are already plotting a series of tough steps against Israel to be taken if, as polls predict, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is re-elected and peace efforts remain stalled.
Emboldened by their newly upgraded status at the United Nations, the Palestinians are talking of filing war crimes charges against Israel, staging mass demonstrations in the West Bank, encouraging the international community to impose sanctions, and ending the security cooperation that has helped preserve quiet in recent years.
These plans, combined with growing international impatience with Israeli settlement construction on occupied land, could spell trouble and international isolation for the Israeli leader.

This comes as a surprise to who? There isn’t a rop type country or even the US under bho that doesn’t want Israel isolated or off the face of the earth!
God be with you Israel. You are always in my prayers.

The Pals are going to burn their own vehicles, ransack their own buildings, throw rocks at everything, and generally act like the savages they mostly are. News at 11.

I thought they were specifically excluded from The Hague?

Hagel, Morsi and Obama do too.

That will change because the UN is all about punishing Israel right now.

Palestinians have been committing war crimes against Israel since the Israel was founded and recognized by the United Nations. The list of there crimes is endless.

Its the same tactic that Maobama is using here. Isolate and create anger aimed at conservatives. Do it by any means, lie, cheat, smear..whatever. Remember to communists and terrorists, the ends justify the means.

Perhaps Israel should preempt them by recognizing Palestine, with all lands they don’t have a problem letting go. Sounds crazy but they could at the same time declare and end to the “occupation”, call for peace talks on remaining lands they do dispute (which the Palis will never go along with), cite Chapter 5 of the UN Charter when terrorists from this sovereign Palestine attack them (which includes rockets from Gaza) and take them to the ICC for being state sponsors of terrorism, because as a sovereign state such groups are no longer “freedom fighters”. Or something like this, just a thought.
