I welcome the decision, supported by an overwhelming majority of countries, to remove Karim Khan, the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court.
This decision exposes the truth.
Karim Khan was accused of sexually harassing women who worked under him.
It was precisely as these allegations emerged that he canceled his planned visit to Israel, abandoned his previous commitment to thoroughly examine Israel’s independent judicial system, and suddenly moved to pursue arrest warrants against me and former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant.
He did so to divert attention from the allegations against him and to rally Israel’s enemies around him as a political shield.
That shield has now been torn away.
What has been exposed is not only Karim Khan’s true motivation, but also the profound injustice and corruption that have infected both the Office of the Prosecutor and the International Criminal Court itself.
Last night, I spoke with U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio.
He once again reaffirmed America’s determination to act forcefully against this institution—an institution that undermines justice, attacks democratic and sovereign nations, and seeks to subordinate their security to the decisions of unaccountable and corrupt officials in The Hague.
This is a very positive development.
The truth must now be heard throughout the world.
亚当斯:“我们的政府并没有配备足够的权力,去对抗那些不受道德和宗教约束的人类激情。贪婪、野心、复仇或放荡,会像鲸鱼冲破渔网一样,轻易挣断我们宪法中最坚固的绳索。我们的宪法只为有道德和宗教信仰的人民而制定,它完全不适用于对任何其他人群的治理。”
“We have no Government armed with Power capable of contending with human Passions unbridled by morality and Religion. Avarice, Ambition, Revenge or Galantry, would break the strongest Cords of our Constitution as a Whale goes through a Net. Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious People. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other."
