Efforts to hold Israel accountable for its crimes against Palestinians at the International Court of Justice in The Hague are ‘anti-Semitic’, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said in a cabinet meeting yesterday.
Commenting on the ICJ case against Tel Aviv brought forward by South Africa and Israeli football fans rampaging through the streets of Amsterdam
chanting racist slurs and attacking locals and their properties being met with resistance from locals, Netanyahu said: “In both cases, we are dealing with serious anti-Semitism aimed at rendering the Jewish people and their state powerless, stripping our nation of the right to self-defence, and depriving our citizens of the very right to life.”
He claimed that “in recent days, we have seen images reminiscent of Kristallnacht [the Nazi attacks on Jews in Germany]. In Amsterdam, anti-Semitic assailants targeted Jews simply because they are Jews.”
Netanyahu continued, saying: “Such attacks pose a threat not only to Israel but to the entire world. History has taught us a lesson: unbridled attacks against Jews never end with Jews alone. They spread throughout society, crossing borders and eventually endangering all of humanity. Therefore, I expect and urge all responsible governments to quash these attacks at their roots.”
The prime minister noted that he had recently spoken with US President-elect Donald Trump three times. “These were positive and important conversations focused on strengthening the strong alliance between Israel and the United States. We fully agree on the various aspects of the Iranian threat and the dangers it poses. Additionally, we see significant opportunities for Israel in terms of expanding peace and in other areas,” concluded Netanyahu.
