Yeah, precisely. "Israel shall ensure, with immediate effect, that its military does not commit any acts described in point 1 above", should stop promoting genocide, should prosecute those committing genocidal acts, should take immediate measures to provide humanitarian aid... This ruling goes far beyond a ceasefire call - as it should.

but it's so vague you can just interpret it in the way you want? in particular this bit: "take all measures within its power" cos well israel will just say we already do that, we drop leaflets before we strike, we order people to move before we bomb, etc, etc. calling for an explicit ceasefire would have been much better imo but maybe i'm reading this all wrong.

AFAIK, its also the first time that a Western state or ally has been censured by the ICJ since the court found against the US in the 1986 judgement in the US vs Nicaragua, and this time it's for the much more serious crime of a plausible accusation of genocide.

So now when say, the dutch PM tries to find ways to claim Israel isn't committing war crimes so that he can keep exporting F-35 parts to Israel (which was revealed yesterday) he can be credibly accused of abetting genocide.

And ofc, given the tone and language of the judgement and the almost total rejection of Israel's arguments, it seems possible that the court will eventually find that Israel has actually committed genocide, aided and abetted by the so called civilised nations of the west. However you look at it, that is historic.

What, you think Israel would have just stopped in their tracks and pulled out if the ICJ had called for a ceasefire? That was never going to happen.

no i don't think it would've stopped israel but it would have increased international pressure massively and i do think that it would have ended their act of war crimes sooner.

No, they would have done exactly what they are doing now and used unsubstantiated allegations obtained under torture and timed specifically to distract from the ICJ ruling to accelerate the genocide being committed by their ally.

On the same day that IDF soldiers dressed as doctors and patients raided a hospital in the West Bank and murdered three people, one of whom was already paralysed, dozens of bodies were found handcuffed and blindfolded in the rubble of an UNRWA school that was previously housing displaced Palestinians.


This is what the British tax payer is funding.

These are just from the last couple days. There has been an endless stream of similar Tiktoks from IDF soldiers, bragging about blowing up universities, ethnically cleansing Gaza, etc.
