Israel: We Are At War

[KMFJD]

Verdict of 15-2 is in against Israel, get fucked apartheid state

~In summary, the court has found:

That there exists a dispute between the states of Israel and South Africa.

That the court has jurisdiction to rule on this dispute.

That South Africa has standing to bring this issue before the court.

That Palestinians constitute a group protected under the treaty for the prevention and punishment of genocide.

That the Palestinians in Gaza are a significant part of said protected group.

That there are provisional measures linkable to the rights of Palestinians in their capacity of a protected group and South Africa in their capacity of a state with standing bringing these issues before the court with the aim to uphold their responsibilities under the treaty for the prevention and punishment of genocide.

That there exists sufficient urgency in the ongoing situation in Gaza to require the court to institute provisional measures.

That the Israeli state is not taking sufficient measures to prevent genocide in Gaza on its own.

Thus the court has voted to institute, with a 15-2 majority (16-1 on points 2 and 3) the following provisional measures:

1. Israel must take all measures within its power to prevent commission of acts of genocide. Including killing, seriously injuring, imposing impossible living standards, imposing measures preventing birth.

2. Israel must take all measures within its power to punish those calling for or having committed any of the above.

3. Israel must take immediate and effective measures to provide humanitarian aid.

4. Israel must take immediate and effective measures to prevent destruction of evidence of genocide.

5. Israel must provide a report to the court about all of the above in 1 month. South Africa is then allowed to comment on it.

All of these measures are binding and create international legal obligations to all parties

more aid to the fascist apartheid regime

ICJ is also supposed to render a verdict today

No reason this shouldn't be going to Ukraine. All of it. Israel has all it ever needs to continue this genocide that it wants. Can't believe this nonsense continues from our end.

AIPAC can go fuck itself. They need to be labeled a terrorist organization and kicked the fuck out of the country.

I wonder if the UK will just Rwanda their way out of abiding with the court's decision.

I wonder if the Israeli government has the slightest notion of how a blatant propaganda campaign can backfire spectacularly. For example, that business of the Israeli PM asserting that they found a copy of 'Mein Kampf' belonging to whoever in Gaza. It's obviously bullshit.

But let's assume for a moment that the story is true: What use is it to know that someone in the population of millions is some sort of Nazi? It's a completely worthless piece of information for Israel, it tells them what we all knew already, being that in a population of millions you're going to find at least one bigot. While it makes no sense that a non-white person would be a Nazi, it's not impossible; I've read stories about black Neo-Nazis and even vaguely remember reading somewhere about Jewish Neo-Nazis. Bigots are ignorant, illogical and hateful people. The only way that finding a copy of 'Mein Kampf' is remarkable at a state level would be if they found that all Hamas operatives were given these books and that Nazi ideology plays a part in their strategy. But just like I have no reason to believe that Hamas has anything to do with Nazi-ism, I'd want to see some serious proof that say the state of Israel is run by Neo-Nazis, because the more outlandish the claims are, all the more substantial evidence is needed to justify the claims.

Enough with the hypothetical scenario - the fact that the state of Israel at the highest level is peddling obvious propaganda / fake news in my view fundamentally discredits everything remarkable they have to say in future because they obviously respect truth so little, and since they have no moral qualms about massacring >20k civilians, there's no strategy that's too low for them. They claim that children or pregnant women were killed? After getting some kind of confirmation that those people actually existed and were found dead as described, as far as I'm concerned the first question is "did Israel kill them?".

If finding a copy of Mein Kempf was such a dire thing, its odd that they buddy up to Turmp who used to brag about how he kept 2 books in his bedside table, the Bible and Mein Kempf.

I read that Trump did not have a copy of Mein Kampf. But it was a different book - of some Hitler speeches. Just for total clarity if that is correct.

I was a little off the mark in my prediction about the UK, perhaps a distraction works better?

Sounds like a ploy by Israel to halt relief work to kill even more Gazans due to lack of timely aid.

The most implausible part of the whole story is that Trump would read a book.

Yes, this is what Biden needs to do to get the Israeli government to stop mostly ignoring him. This has gone on long enough. Time to come to the table and we need to give them no choice but to do so.

More importantly the U.S. should be very selective of what weapons to ship to Israel. Knowing their propensity for indiscriminate bombing, they should never have shipped 2000lb bombs to begin with. The U.S. itself did not even use 500lb bombs vs ISIS targets in Iraq for fear of collateral damage.

 

[raildogg]

Israel cannot fight the Palestinian resistance so it must resort to indiscriminately killing innocent civilians. They claim to be targeting Hamas but the facts speak otherwise. This is Israel simply trying to make Gaza uninhabitable.

Most of the international community besides Israel's Western allies are outraged.

The Biden administration is complicit in Israel's genocidal operations. Israel cannot do much militarily without US assistance in providing it with weapons. So not only is the US providing Israel with weapons to kill innocent people, they are fast tracking those shipments.

 

[raildogg]

This is what Israel has been doing in Gaza - blowing up civilian buildings, including many hospitals and universities.

This must be one of the few remaining journalists left in America that actually question the government. He's trying to get a few answers out of that weasel state department spokesman.

If the goal is to go after Hamas, why are they deliberately bombing, starving and terrorizing the civilians?! The Israelis are so radicalized that they think all Palestinians are to be either displaced or killed.

Israel and anybody who supports this war and their apartheid state policies for the last x decades are as fucking evil to me as Trump and the maga scum that fill our country.

All part of the same evil.

Israel has always attacked the UN because that is basically the only voice the Palestinians have. So now, if I am not mistaken, UNRWA is helping to bring aid to the Palestinian refugees but according to Israel, they were supposedly helping Hamas. I find this hard to believe especially since the claims made were likely by Palestinian prisoners who were more than likely tortured, as Israel regularly does. So one of the only groups that is helping the Palestinians, UNRWA, is now under attack by Israel. And the cowardly Western countries, led by the USA, are totally going along with this Israeli claim and cutting off funding to this group, one of the few who are helping the Palestinians.

The Palestinians are literally being attacked by Israel and the US from all angles - and now, even the groups trying to help them are under attack. What a world we live in and the sad thing is that the US enables all of this.

One thing not covered much by Western media is that Israel has killed many UN workers along with many journalists. Some say deliberately. But the West is OK with this because I don't hear the White House, State Department or EU officials say anything about this. Their silence is very loud on this matter.

I did find this CNN article which does mention it.

https://www.cnn.com/2024/01/27/middleeast/unrwa-israel-hamas-october-7-allegations-intl/index.html#:~:text=At%20least%20152%20UNRWA%20staffers,began%2C%20according%20to%20the%20agency.

"At least 152 UNRWA staffers have been killed in Gaza since the Israel-Hamas war began, according to the agency."

Also according to the article, Israel does not provide much detail as to how UNRWA helped Hamas. And I am sure not much more will be heard, just like we didn't hear too much about those 40 beheaded babies (false story). But Western politicians ran away with wild stories about how savage the Palestinians are and justified Israel's atrocities. So is Israel making another false claim in order to justify its genocidal policies?

All of these people get extremely emotional when it comes to Israel for some strange reason. She is a disgusting lady who has shown her colors before. She, Biden, Hillary, Tom Cotton, Lindsey Graham, Haley, Trump and many more like to grovel in front of Israel. This is just her way of doing it. They have to show that they are standing by America's "ally" in its time of "need." By "need" I mean in its time of taking the opportunity to take over Gaza.

She dismisses legitimate protests by people who are sick of Israel's genocidal ways and she calls them Putin agents or Chinese agents. But this is US policy though. They talk about human rights while they arm Israel.
