In his original petition to Yasser Arafat, Boyle wrote: "I am sure we can agree that Israel has indeed perpetrated the international crime of genocide against the Palestinian people. The purpose of this lawsuit would be to demonstrate that undeniable fact to the entire World. These World Court legal proceedings will prove to the entire World and to all of history that what the Nazis did to the Jews a generation ago is legally similar to what the Israelis are currently doing to the Palestinian people today: genocide.
The Israeli government has ruthlessly implemented a systematic and comprehensive military, political and economic campaign with the intent to destroy in substantial part the national, ethnic and racial group known as the Palestinian People."
In the event Boyle receives an appointment from Tehran and repeats his Bosnia success at the World Court, then the issue will be referred to the United Nations Security Council for endorsement.
However, with the US record of vetoing any resolutions critical of Israel, Boyle expects no different reaction this time. He told Middle East Today that it would be a mistake to underestimate the influence of the Jewish and Zionist lobby in the United States, but said they are not invincible.
"We did get President Reagan to open a diplomatic dialogue with the Palestine Liberation Organization back in 1988 that still continues as of today, despite the massive opposition of the Zionist lobby here in the United States," he said.
