You have to admire the Palestinian resistance of 65 plus years to the brutal Israeli occupation...How can you subdue a brave people willing to die for their freedom? God bless them!

To take Israel to court, Palestinians say they're willing to pay the price
After Mahmoud Abbas's move to join the International Criminal Court, Israel is withholding $127 million in tax revenues from the Palestinian Authority, and US action could follow.
The Palestinian decision last week to join the International Criminal Court (ICC), through which Palestinians plan to recommend legal action against alleged Israeli crimes in the West Bank and Gaza Strip, could incur a fairly high cost.
Israel initially responded by withholding $127 million in tax revenues it collects on behalf of the Palestinian Authority – roughly equivalent to a month’s worth of PA salaries. It has also threatened further punitive measures. And more than $400 million in annual US aid would be imperiled if the PA initiates action against Israel at the ICC.
But the Palestinian leadership remains unmoved
