Je suis conscient de ce que les clichés de l’horreur ici exposés vont choquer - tout spécialement nos coreligionnaires qui respectent particulièrement l’image de Dieu dans l’homme (betselem haShem nivra ha’adam). Et je me fais violence en passant outre à cette règle éthique que je respecte du mieux que je peux à longueur d’année. Mais la coupe est pleine. Un tribunal international a osé rendre l’injustice la plus flagrante qui soit : condamner un peuple qu’on assassine à abattre le mur derrière lequel il se réfugie. Alors, puisque les juges de La Haye, ont fait bon marché de nos morts et de nos mutilés, je jette dans leur prétoire hypocrite ces clichés d’une barbarie dont ceux qui la perpètrent osent, en s’en targuant, profaner le titre de ’martyr’. Je sais que ces pièces sont irrecevables dans ce genre de procès, mais, au tribunal de notre D.ieu - elles seront des témoins à charge, lorsque le Seigneur jugera ces juges de la terre pour leur lâcheté et leur hypocrysie.
