Ken Roth, executive director of Human Rights Watch yesterday tweeted:
Could #Hamas opposition to #Palestine statehood be from fear of being dragged to #ICC for rocket attacks on #Israel? http://bit.ly/n5erQu
The trivial thing wrong with this is that the link goes to a New York Times story about Turkey's role in the region and makes no mention of Hamas or the ICC.
The deeper thing wrong with it is that Roth hasn't tweeted anything like "Israel is obviously opposed to the Palestinian UN bid, the ICC, etc because it wants to keep getting away with murder." I've asked Roth about related matters, he talks of Israeli violations of laws of war and disproportionate use of force and such. He won't talk about individual capability of individual Israeli officials -- as he does in other cases, like the Sudan. And so, he enables further Israeli war crimes.
See: "The Palestinians have asked the International Criminal Court to take jurisdiction over any war crimes committed in its territory. This could include Israeli actions during the 2008-09 Gaza war, or it could include illegal settlement building. Acceptance by the ICC of such jurisdiction could be hastened by either UN membership or non-member state status."
