WIl the Palestinians Go Running to the ICC?

With the Palestinians' new status at the UN, it looks like it's not going to take them long to go after Israel using the International Criminal Court, an organization only too happy to bring punishment on the much-hated Jewish nation.  In fact, every time Israel makes a move for which the Palestinians do not approve, expect them to go running like a little child tattling to his mom.

Read from Israel Matzav:


It starts: 'Palestinians' heading for ICC?

Are the 'Palestinians' heading for the International Criminal Court? It suresounds like it
Nabil Sha’at, a senior member of the Palestinian Authority, said on Tuesday that Palestinians would file a complaint at the ICC if the Israeli regime sticks to its recent plan to build thousands more settler units in East al-Quds and the West Bank, including in the controversial E1 area.
“By continuing these war crimes of settlement activities on our lands and stealing our money, Israel is pushing and forcing us to go to the ICC,” Sha’at said. 

...

“We have to move to concrete steps so Israel knows it has something to lose and will be held accountable, in accordance with international law,” Ashrawi said.
Many countries, including some of Tel Aviv’s allies, have criticized the settlement expansion plan.
That ought to get them their 'state.' What could go wrong?
