Hague celebrates Hanukkah as ICC ignores applesauce vs. sour cream wars

While Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and others are accusing The Hague of anti-Semitism over the fact that the ICC has opened a door to a war crimes probe against Israel, the actual Hague is celebrating Jewish traditions with a large Hanukkah display.

The display, in the Dutch capital’s City Hall, includes a large dreidel-like sculpture, a tiny diorama of ye olde menorah, a fake menorah and faker jelly donuts and some Purim swag.

Jewish communities around the world are holding large public events throughout the holiday, including public menorah-lightings in city squares.

Perhaps the ICC can rule on whether applesauce or sour cream is the preferred condiment for latkes?
