Israel has not prosecuted its citizens for killing Palestinian civilians in the occupied West Bank since the start of this decade, a Guardian analysis of legal data and public records show, creating impunity for a campaign of violence.
Attacks have spurred former prime minister Ehud Olmert to call for an intervention by the international criminal court (ICC), to save the Palestinians and us [Israelis] from state-backed settler violence, carried out with the complicity and sometimes participation of the police and military.
I have decided not only to not remain silent, but to draw the attention of the ICC in The Hague so that it may take enforcement measures and issue arrest warrants, Olmert said in written comments to the Guardian.
Dozens of former Israeli security commanders have demanded urgent action to stop almost daily attacks on Palestinians. In a public letter to the countrys current military chief they warned that failure to tackle Jewish terrorism poses an existential threat.

Cut off all US funding to this rogue national government.
This I/P support inversion (wherein the VAST percentage of Dem and indie voters no longer support Israel over Palestine yet far too many Dem leaders refuse to even support conditions placed upon the billions of $$$ we toss to the pro-ethnic-cleansing Netanyahu radical government, a disastrous entity who has multiple leaders within it openly calling for genocidal actions) is a large systemic problem and plays a significant part in our Party's low approval ratings.
Evidence that a refusal to cut off support of the Israel RW government is electoral poison within our Party is seen in the rise of 'cut Israel off' primary challengers beating long term, entrenched Dem incumbents.
