The article at the link transmitted below reports on an
extraordinary letter which 12 U.S. senators have sent to the
prosecutor of the International Criminal Court.
The full letter with signatures, in a size suitable for reading,
is set forth at the end of this article.
This letter should be read to its very end and must be read to
be believed.

Appropriately, as reported in this article, Democratic
Senator Chris Van Hollen has publicly said that "it is
absolutely wrong to interfere in a judicial matter by
threatening judicial officers, their family members and
their employees with retribution. This thuggery is
something befitting the mafia, not U.S. senators."
NOTE: There is one technical error in this article.
It states that the "Palestinian territories" were admitted
as a member state of the ICC in 2015. Obviously, only states
can be member states of the ICC, and it was the State of
Palestine which was admitted as a member state, thereby
conferring jurisdiction for the ICC over war crimes
committed on the territory of the State of Palestine.
