Superb analysis. I go even further. This entire subject of international law is a farce. The only enforcement of anything only takes place when it involves some weaker entity, like the Khmer Rouge, or the former Serbian government, years after whoever did these war crimes, has almost disappeared in the dustbin of history. Would any one even attempt to do anything about Russian war crimes in the Ukraine or Chinese CCP Uyghur concentration camps?
If Biden is re-elected he will screw Israel any chance he gets. For example, if the war in Gaza is still going on, Biden will pressure Israel to agree to a ceasefire even without release of the hostages, threatening to cut off the supply of munitions. By contrast, if Trump is elected, he will back Israel 100% and he will not allow Iran to develop a nuclear bomb, where Biden will.
Shocker: The European Parliament today passed a resolution stipulating that any call for a ceasefire in Gaza is conditional on the dismantling of the Hamas terrorist organization and the immediate and unconditional release of all the abductees. The resolution was adopted by a large majority of 312 supporters against 131 opponents.
The European Parliament also criticized Hamas' misuse of civilian infrastructure, the construction of attack tunnels and the use of human shields.
In the resolution, the European Parliament expressed shock at the enormous wealth of Hamas leaders at the expense of the Palestinian citizens who live in poverty, and condemned countries that provided financial, material and operational aid to Hamas and called for an investigation to determine the sources of funding and weapon systems of the terrorist organization.
The resolution was adopted, inter alia, thanks to the resolute activity of the Israeli Embassy to the European Union in Brussels, the European Division of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the embassies in the region.
Minister of Foreign Affairs Israel Katz: "Today, the European Parliament adopted a precedent-setting resolution stipulating that any ceasefire in Gaza is conditional on the dismantling of the Hamas terrorist organization and the immediate release of all the abductees - and recognized the right of the State of Israel to defend itself. I congratulate the MFA personnel for the diplomatic success, we will continue to work for the interests of the State of Israel."
How does someone who has no intent ( crucial legal term in the Genocide Convention) to commit genocide - other than annihilating Hamas- deserves to be cautioned " not to commit genocide"? Isn't this " advice " relevant to the entire world? One might add it as an 11th Commandment: " thou shall not commit genocide". The ( illegitimate" Court should be ashamed of attempting to save face, for itself and for South Africa, by directly accusing Israel - the entire State- of being suspect of "thinking" about committing genocide, and thus, as no other nation has ever been forewarned, Israel should actively prevent it. This is, to me, not just the gratuitous casting of aspersion on Israel: it is an imbecilic and twisted, definitely antisemitic pronouncement.
Civilized and humane Israel doesn't need a lecture from that third world S hole country of South African which is guilty of murdering white farmers. Furthermore, far from genocide, Israel generously allowed Gazans into Israel for jobs and medical care. The people of that Kibbutz community drove Gaza cancer patients to their treatments in Israel and provided jobs for Gazans and in return for the generosity of Israelis, those "innocent" Gazans used their access to that community to provide intelligence to hamas to perpetrate 10/7.
You are correct. Yet it is almost unthinkable the incredible intelligence of the great democracies of the world did not see this attack from these barbarians coming?!?
In January, Prime Minister Netanyahu picked Dershowitz to lead the Israeli defense team at the ICJ.,.They are friends and Netanyahu was impressed with the defense of Trump.The wise old men behind the scenery demurred. The optics would be terrible. A long time alleged pedophile, pedophilia being both viscerally disgusting and among the most immoralof all crimes., defending Israel on the most immoral of all crimes, genocide.. They pointed out the reviews would concentrate on JaneDoe3, the long association with Epstein, about which Dershowitz is completely OMERTA,, and possible Mossad or Lekum connections. Despite far more experience with PR loaded defense work than other choices , Dershowitz would drag the case down with his current reputation outside Israel and uncooperative nature regarding clearing his name by being open about his 15 years of working and playing with Epstein. Still further, the wise old men saw Dershowitz has a credibility issue due to his reputation outside Israel as a hard core zionist, always minimizing or completely whitewashing Israeli atrocities to non-Jews.
Frankly I find your characterization of Professor Dershowitz shameful, with no basis in fact. We know that Mr. Epstein literally travelled in the same circle with many prominent men. He was interested in supporting their academic and political endeavors. Despite the sordid press, Epstein had some other hobbies besides Lolita.
You have formed an opinion without having researched Dershowitz's background. This characterizes Dershowitz's defenders. You do not have to get out of your armchair to google, Might take a whole afternoon to get a grasp of the evil Dershowitz has done. Yet all this information is available even though Dershowitz refuses to talk details about his full 15 years working and playing with Epstein.
Do you know how Dershowitz influenced DA Alex Acosta to get full immunity for any crime Dershowitz "had or might have committed" during those 15 years? Do you know of the intelligence agency connection Derrshowitz claimed? Do you know how many defamation lawsuits Dershowitz filed to intimidate the underaged and their attorneys? Did you read the Jane Doe3 document in the recently released Epstein files from the civil lawsuit between Guiffre v. Maxwell. These are just some of the highlights of evil incarnate.
Everyone has a nose and an opinoin. But when you have not researched the background for your opinion, then your opinion has no more significance than masturbation.. For my part I am proud to stand up against the celebrity "alleged" pedophile.
Respectfully disagree. Though your “research” sounds impressive, I’m not convinced you have inside information the media does not, or knowledge of private sins only known to the professor and his maker. Surely you don’t object to a defense attorney fiercely defending his or her client? --Bet you have an armchair too.
"But the ICJ did not order Hamas to do or stop doing anything." That is the real point. The ICJ application lead by S. Africa is a farce to begin with - the real war criminals with a genocidal Charter and intent are immune from prosecution and protected by like-minded terrorist supporter antisemites. So this entire thing deserves no respect much less the praise of the "independent jurist" who wrote the decision. It is a primitive lawless world where the innocent party is allowed to be persecuted and lectured by the criminal element.
Israel must win this war, this is so very vitally important to free societies world wide.
2 states is dead
Muslims have killed 80000 blacks and 45000 Christians in Nigeria and the world court does nothing
Muslim have invaded the US
The colleges like Harvard are supporting that invasion
So by their silence Harvard supports Muslims killing blacks and Muslims killing Christians
Thanks, Alan

Exactly. Hamas war crimes must be addressed first.

The wise old men prevailed.

"Unless the international judges address Hamas war crimes, it will deserve no respect."...100% correct. Hamas war crimes are totally ignored.
The west Bank people need to be returned to Jordan
Jordan took away their Jordanian citizenship and made them homeless and stateless
Thank you for this informed, realistic analysis.
Excellent analysis.
I do support Israel.
