Maybe one day the court will have the ability to enforce this.

It's just a piece of paper for now.

Try and stop them, or try and arrest other war criminals like Clinton, Bush, and Obama.

Doesn't matter what the courts say if there's no way to enact it.

WW2 wasn't prevented or stopped until the bigger bully beat the crap out of the smaller bully.

Maybe I'm missing something here about how the system works but this is how I understand it for now.

They didn't order a ceasefire. To me, that's not a victory. Netanyahu doesn't seem too disturbed by the decision, from what I read.

They actually expect Israel to "punish" soldiers who are following their orders to genocide....? 🤔

Seems too open to mixed legal interpretation, which usually leads to lack of urgent action, often prolonged lawfare debate, and kicking cans down the road:

Yes, and as long as Bibi says he's following "international law" he'll keep genociding. Urgent action is needed NOW....

Oh, think USA Murder Inc and the dead man walking latest and newest fad in killing: Nitrogen. The Jewish State of Jewish Israel is making a run on nitrogen, yessirree.

Dustin Hoffman in 'The New Graduate' : 'Nitrogen. Invest in nitrogen.' (Coming to a synagogue nearby soon... The movie that is!)

WWJD? What would Jews Do?

Kevin Barrett:

So many Jews are aghast at the extreme Zionist tribalism of Netanyahu. And many others, even some fairly tribal Jews who are brought up to believe that everybody hates them for no good reason, which is of course ridiculous, and wants to throw them into the sea and throw them in gas chambers and things like that—I mean, these people are traumatized, a lot of them, certainly the Israeli Jews more than anyone. But I think even some of the people who are somewhat traumatized into believing that the world hates the Jews and persecutes them are horrified by this, because they understand that this is going to take away that immunity that Jews have enjoyed since World War II, which has allowed Jews to take over the United States.

Now many of the Jews who have taken over the United States are liberal. They are not fanatical Zionists like Netanyahu. But there’s an ethnocentric ethnic nepotism that goes on in which ethnic groups vie with each other for control. The United States was dominated by Protestants, or WASPS, up until World War II. Since World War II, the dominant, most powerful ethnic group in the United States has become Jews. We can see this in the Ivy League admissions, where Jews basically took over the Ivy League institutions and now that's why we have so many of these cases where Ivy League presidents are being fired for criticizing Israel and so on. Ron Unz has proven that Jews are grossly overrepresented in Ivy League institutions based on their test scores, grades, etc. That is, there has been a very powerful bias towards admitting Jews in disproportionate numbers to their abilities in the Ivy League now for decades.

That's just one example of American Jews becoming the dominant ethnic group. They also totally dominate the media, Hollywood being the most extreme example, and are grossly disproportionately represented at the high levels in the financial world.

Now, you're not supposed to say this. It's said to be anti-Semitic to say these things, but they are true. And I don't understand why you would call somebody a bigot if they speak the truth about this.

You weren't a bigot if you said the Protestants dominated the United States in, say, 1910. So why are you a bigot if you make the same observation about Jews dominating the United States now, which they obviously do?

I mean, look at Biden's minyan. The Jewish newspapers say Biden's cabinet has enough Jews to make up a minyan. Biden is totally surrounded by Jews and by people with Jewish spouses.

Do you think all those Jews are faking their SAT scores to get into those Ivey league colleges? Maybe there is a high incident of Jews in Ivy League because they, um, study?

I'm not weighing in on Israel/Palestine. Israel is a country with a government as corrupt as all governments. Including, and most especially, my government of the United States of America.

I refuse to lump people of Jewish origin, whatever that means exactly, in with the corrupt Israeli leaders.

Wow. You miss the point of Jewish tribalism and the skewed nature of that influence in institutions. Are you daft? Jews dumping money into the Poison Ivy schools and then getting their kiddos in and also the recruiting of Jewish students skews the numbers.

You know, making poison ivy school x and y institutions that recruit the Jewish tribe.

So SAT scores are in the millions and the playing field is uneven if Jewish influence takes precedent over others, i.e. Goyim.

Israel of course is not a country, but mandated by the powers that shouldn't be. Israel is a state of mind and spiritually dead idea.

USA is the outpost for Jewish State of Jewish Occupied Palestine.

May both countries wither and die.

What about what about what about. Full stop.

Warmakers stop making war when they run out of resources, not when "treaties" and "laws" change words. As long as Israel and Ukraine and other areas are receiving billions of dollars and thousands of weapons from US, they have no reason to change their behavior.

I just wish it had been stronger. Here is how Richard Medhurst characterized the decision:

Richard Medhurst

@richimedhurst

It's my job to translate politician to English so let me explain what the ICJ just ruled:

Israel can keep slaughtering Palestinians. Take your time and stop announcing the genocide when you speak Hebrew. Also give Palestinians some food before you shoot them. Back in a few years

Yes, of course it was not perfect, but it does show that international disgust with Israel is growing.

Pretty significant that the ICJ stood up to intense pressure from US/UK/EU to do the right thing. Israel now stands accused, in the court of world--and European--opinion as a rogue gangster state, which it is. The United States, or at least our criminal elite class, is next up on the dock. Sea change? We'll see. Historically ironic that South Africa's leading the charge.

So it's only the libs that did crazy shit like this?

Ever hear of Iran Contra, and the support of bloody dictators in South America during Reagan? Remember the old days of United fruit company killing dissenters?

Remember company towns where even the government ignored murder of striking workers?

All of that authoritarian shit was done by capitalists, not commies.

Im not saying communism hasn't done that too, but why the hell do people ignore the horrible shit we have done over and over?

Both sides serve the same masters, the banks and military industrial complex.

It's not communism, it's called FASCISM, where the state and corporate power work hand in hand.

As for South Africa, I have friends from there that are glad apartheid is over. Both of them are white.
