The International Court of Justice unanimously ordered Israel to allow unimpeded access of food aid into Gaza, where millions face famine.
The US’ assertion that Israel is complying w Int’l law & is not blocking aid, is debunked by overwhelming evidence.pic.twitter.com/ntAcuIwQlh https://t.co/kvMqU34pjG— Rula Jebreal (@rulajebreal) March 28, 2024
Yeah, just tell the Jews to do something, UN.
They’ll listen, I’m sure.
Jews are well-known for their willingness to listen to the goyim, and very rarely resort to calling them “antisemites” when they are asked to do something reasonable.
The World Court on Thursday unanimously ordered Israel, accused by South Africa of genocide in Gaza, to take all necessary and effective action to ensure basic food supplies to the enclave’s Palestinian population and halt spreading famine.
But Gaza’s Hamas rulers said a ceasefire was needed to halt the humanitarian crisis.
The order from the International Court of Justice came as Israeli forces and Palestinian fighters battled in close combat around Gaza’s Al Shifa Hospital, where the armed wings of Hamas and Islamic Jihad said they attacked Israeli soldiers and tanks with rockets and mortar fire.
Judges at the court said the people in the coastal enclave face worsening conditions.
“The court observes that Palestinians in Gaza are no longer facing only a risk of famine (…) but that famine is setting in,” the judges said in their order.
The new measures were requested by South Africa as part of its case that accuses Israel of state-led genocide in Gaza.
Senior Hamas official Basem Naim said the ruling did not go far enough and Israel must be ordered to end its military offensive to halt the suffering.
“We welcome any new demands to end this humanitarian tragedy in Gaza and especially in the northern Gaza Strip, but we hoped the court ordered a ceasefire as an absolute solution to all the miseries our people in Gaza are living through,” Naim told Reuters.
The U.N. Security Council voted on Tuesday to demand an immediate ceasefire and the immediate and unconditional release of all hostages. The United States abstained from, but did not veto, the vote.
Yeah, the court should order the Security Council resolution enforced, rofl.
Then the Security Council should pass a resolution saying Israel should respect the ICJ.
We can just keep going round and round like this, and eventually the Jews will listen.
An entire Economist article on famine in Gaza doesn’t say the word “Israel” once. Not even when describing damage to farmland and water facilities or severely restricted aid deliveries.
Saying *who* is destroying the farmland and restricting aid seems like basic info to include. pic.twitter.com/Z6fBtmc0Bp
