The International Court of Justice has ruled that Israel’s occupation of Palestine is unlawful. Israel and its Western backers will ignore the ruling, adding yet another chapter in their annal of hypocrisy. By now, the rest of the world knows the game. From Jonathan Cook at unz.com:
The legal ruling by the world’s highest court obliges western states not just to end their persecution of the boycott movement but to take up that cause as their own
Don’t be fooled. The ruling by the International Court of Justice (ICJ) on 19 July that Israel’s occupation of Palestine is unlawful is earth-shattering. Israel is a rogue state, according to the world’s highest court.
For that reason, the judgment will be studiously ignored by the cabal of western states and their medias that for decades have so successfully run cover for Israel.
Doubters need only watch the reception Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu receives during his visit to the United States this week.
Even though he is currently being pursued for war crimes by the chief prosecutor of the International Criminal Court, the US Congress will give him a hero’s welcome when he addresses its representatives on Wednesday.
The warm handshakes and standing ovations will be a reminder that Netanyahu has had the full backing of western powers throughout the nine-month slaughter of at least 16,000 Palestinian children in Gaza – with another 21,000 missing, most of them under rubble.
The welcome will be a reminder that western capitals are fully on board with Israel’s levelling of Gaza and the starvation of its population – in what the same court concluded way back in January amounted to a “plausible genocide”.
And it will serve as a heavy slap in the face to those like the World Court committed to international law – reminding them that the West and its most favoured client state believe they are untouchable.
That’s not very defensive this Gazacide.
Smash and grab, we want your land, might makes right.
Shouldn’t the “chosen ones” be more enlightened than that?
World this and world that, who voted on these? (/s)
O/T-Killer Klaus Kinski & Werner Herzog docu, may kind of cray cray!
And some A Clockwork Orange making of.
Maybe too much of the ol’ Ultra-Violence in the world right now?
A bud who served in the Sandbox I (Iraq) swears that CERN has let some evilness into our realm.
Hmm…so hmm.
