Why the ICJ ruling in the Gaza genocide case matters

In an exclusive interview with MEE, Phyllis Bennis, a fellow at the Institute for Policy Studies, regards the International Court of Justice's interim ruling in the Gaza genocide case as pivotal. Bennis believes this case is altering the foundation for mobilising opposition and fostering a global movement against genocide.

    This new kind of monsters are far worse then the nazis. First of all Germans knew about the extermination camps in 44. They were kept secret cause even Being nazis the population would not accept ethnic cleansing. The actual Monsters instead know all about It and openly embrace It. Secondarily, the Germans were fighting to raise from hominous conditions that were put on them by the Versailles traitee. They were actually starving and could see no future. In that kind of conditions they supported the fanatic promising them Revenge and recognition. The countries behind all massacres today are on the contrary the richest and most privileged in the world. Still they would allow a massacre to save 2 cents a gallon. Don't look for comparison in the past, cause the current evil Is the worst ever

    My opinion is different from Madam. ICJ has done very well by giving the decision. Many countries have banned UNRWA because of this. However, no concrete evidence was available against UNRWA STAFG. It is foolish to expect good things from THOSE countries. China and Russia have to come into play practically. The solution to all problems is the establishment of a permanent Palestinian state.

    Countries can't see that 1. All that enters Gaza for years on is controlled by isreali soldiers. 2. Nathanyau is using UNRWA as a retaliation at ICJ for their judgment 3. Isreali soldiers receive every single day tons for goods by aircrafts from USA at the tax payers expenses. 4. Countries should have considered that in such dire conditions one ought to keep helping the oppressed 5. They judged a way too fast, easily, jumping to conclusions while, ICJ gave one month to the oppressors tl explain themselves. 6. Be human and give PALESTINE their country as a whole to the Palestinians 7. God is love, peace, harmony, justice, humanity and respect. Those who do not act accordingly are not people of God but to his worst enemy 8.Amen.

    A case where the ICJ found that Israel is plausibly committing genocide, must ensure evidence of the genocide is preserved and that Israel must stand trial for Genocide is ground breaking, especially after over 50 years of illegal occupation. I hope South Africa submits every piece of evidence it can find from over the last 74 years to show genocide and its intent as well as a list of all those in Israeli and other governments who are complicit in this genocide.

    Blessed are they who do hunger and thirst after righteousness for they shall be filled. When the prodigal son was hungry, he went to feed on the husks, but when he was starving, he went to his Father. Yes, that's what Jesus is talking about, the kind of desperation that only God can satisfy. Not until people hunger and thirst after righteousness do they seek the fulfillment that God can give.

    She forgot to mention that the court required that HAMAS return Israeli hostages to Israel unconditionally, and that HAMAS refused to do this so far, even though Israel offered a two-week ceasefire for this. So HAMAS refuses the ceasefire, which the people of Gaza need so much.
