The International Court of Justice just legally destroyed Israel’s illegal occupation.
– It finds its occupation to be unlawful, violating Palestinian’s right to self-determination
– finds it must end it “as rapidly as possible”, demands end to all settlements, the evacuation…

A crucial point.
The ICJ has officially clarified that Israel was occupying Gaza as per international law before 7th October 2023.
That is the definitive last word on that one.

The UN International Court of Justice (ICJ) on Friday declared that Israel’s continued presence in the Occupied Palestinian Territory “is unlawful”, and that “all States are under an obligation not to recognize” the decades-long occupation

Yeah, these UN courts are really good at talking.
They’re not that good at talking frankly.
But they’re a lot better at talking than they are at getting anyone to do anything, ever.
They can torture defeated Serbians or deposed African leaders, but that’s about the extent of it.
The UN’s international court of justice (ICJ) has ordered Israel to end its occupation of the Palestinian territories “as rapidly as possible” and make full reparations for its “internationally wrongful acts” in a sweeping and damning advisory opinion that says the occupation violates international law.
In a historic, albeit non-binding, opinion, the court found multiple breaches of international law by Israel including activities that amounted to apartheid.
It will make sobering reading for Israel’s allies, with the court advising that other states are under an obligation not to recognise the occupation as lawful nor to aid or assist it.
Reading the court’s opinion on Friday, the president of the ICJ, Nawaf Salam, said: “The court considers that the violations by Israel of the prohibition of the acquisition of territory by force and of the Palestinian people’s right to self-determination have a direct impact on the legality of the continued presence of Israel, as an occupying power, in the occupied Palestinian territory.
“The sustained abuse by Israel of its position as an occupying power, through annexation and an assertion of permanent control over the occupied Palestinian territory and continued frustration of the right of the Palestinian people to self-determination, violates fundamental principles of international law and renders Israel’s presence in the occupied Palestinian territory unlawful.”

Israel captured the West Bank, East Jerusalem and Gaza Strip in the 1967 six-day war. It has annexed East Jerusalem in a move that is not recognised internationally and considers the West Bank, to which it has moved people in settlements, to be disputed territory.
Yeah, bro. I know what the 1967 six-day war is.
We all know what that is.
Please, instead of telling me about that, tell me about how the UN is going to build nukes to attack Israel.
Interesting that this ruling comes after Sergei Lavrov’s statement the other day; Israel’s UN membership is conditional upon the resolutions they have now been found in violation of….. https://t.co/xxpBlEDLnB
