But even countries that were traditionally close to Israel were unlikely to renege on their treaty commitments to fund the ICC, said Kevin Jon Heller, professor of law at London's School of Oriental and African Studies.

"Germany is probably the least likely country in the world to go against the ICC no matter how supportive of Israel it has traditionally been," he added. "It was one of the very leading states in the creation of the ICC."

ICC prosecutors said on Friday they would examine "in full independence and impartiality" crimes that may have occurred in the Palestinian territories since June 13 last year. This allows the court to delve into the war between Israel and Hamas militants in Gaza in July-August 2014 that killed more than 2,100 Palestinians and 70 Israelis.

Now they are asking others to stop funding the ICC? Seems like a desperate ploy to hide ones crimes.

This just gets better and better. But what I do not see just yet is why the Palestinians would want their actions in front of the ICC any more than Israel would.

What crimes? There might have been individual criminal actions. But nothing the Israeli government did was ICC material. The Palestinians on the other hand have harbored and assisted terrorists and their political leaders have organized terror and mass murder of civilians for decades.

And you have reached this conclusion after investigating and carefully reviewing the evidence I am sure. /sarcasm

Sure. No crimes in suicide bombings against pizza shops and universities...

Is this real life?

No crimes, you must be kidding.
Don't you know that Israel trying to defend itself is crime against humanity if any Pals suffer. It also violates Pal human rights when Israel interferes with the Pal right to attack when Israel defends itself.

The only acceptable Israeli response is to say
Thank you sir may I have another.
