Reacting to UN's ICJ ruling under racist Arab-Islamic Nawaf Salam

• Expert Analysis (on ): “This is another day of shame for the ICJ in its discriminatory treatment of Israel. Let’s not forget that this case was brought by South Africa — a country disgraced by a leadership that actively supports Hamas and that tars Israel with the defamatory accusation of ‘genocide.’ Israel, which has undertaken a major effort to move more than a million civilians out of Rafah to safety in advance of its operation to defeat Hamas in that city, will rightly disdain this ruling.”

• Ambassador Arden: "We don't have 50 plus Muslim countries that trade: 'We will vote for your guy if you vote for ours' ".

• Nawaf Salam ridiculed (including by former and current ambassadors to UN). Recalling his longtime Israel bashibg representing his Arab Republic of Lebanon: "Now he has a rope and talks high."

• Noted on Israel's main channel: "Sits there a Lebanese and basically incites the entire world against Israel."

• Israeli, international figures react to ‘antisemitic’ [UN's] ICJ ruling. National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir, fellow members of Knesset, and Jewish organizations around the world expressed their shock and disappointment following the ICJ's ruling on Friday, demanding the IDF halt all operations in Rafah. Strategic affairs Minister, Ron Dermer, said, "That Jews are treated differently is not a new story but a more than 2,000 year old story that is based on ancient hatred. Every year, the Human Rights Council passes more resolutions against Israel than all the other countries in the world combined." "What the ICJ prosecutor has done will fuel the fires of antisemitism, which is raging across the world, because people will assume the charges carry weight. But the charges are totally false and the prosecutor didn’t even bother to learn the facts," Dermer stated. Dr. Charles Asher Small, Executive Director of the Institute for the Study of Global Antisemitism and Policy (ISGAP), issued the following statement in response to the ICJ ruling: "The ICJ's ruling is a stark reminder of how South Africa, which has become a hub for extremist activities across the African continent, continues to embrace antisemitic ideologies and support state-sponsored terror." Small continued to say, "Maintaining close ties with and acting on behalf of Iran, Qatar and Hamas, South Africa has become a leading voice for terror. By bringing this case against Israel and in favour of Hamas, South Africa further positions itself as a bad actor on the global stage. The time has come for the international community to recognize and address South Africa's alarming connections with terror-supporting states and entities." Former Israeli government spokesperson Eylon Levy wrote on X, formerly Twitter, "Hamas is holding 125 hostages, presumably many in Rafah. The ICJ has just told Israel it’s not allowed to try to save them and must relinquish military leverage. This is not justice. This is a travesty of justice." International reactions: Senator Lindsey Graham also responded to the ICJ's ruling in a post on X, stating that "as far as [she is] concerned, the ICJ can go to hell." Graham further added that "so called international justice organizations" need to be opposed, and that "their anti-Israel bias is overwhelming." She further called the ICJ's ruling "ridiculous," stating that the ruling "will and should be ignored by Israel." Another politician from the US who responded on X to the ICJ's ruling was House Majority leader Steve Scalise. In his post, Scalise said that Israel's objective is to free the remainig hostages, and "destroy Hamas’ last stronghold. [Israel] must complete this mission." Scalise further stated, "The ICJ is blinded by anti-Israel bias. Biden must commit to vetoing any UN Security Council resolution that would enforce this outrageous decision." Britain's National Jewish Assembly condemned the ICJ's decision "vehemently," arguing that the decision was "born out of ignorance and devoid of any practical enforcement mechanism, only serves to embolden terrorist organisations and undermine the principles of international law and justice." “The ICJ’s ruling is not only a grave misstep but a direct affront to justice and morality,” said Gary Mond, Chairman of the NJA. “By undermining Israel’s right to defend its citizens against a genocidal terrorist organisation, the ICJ is not promoting peace but rather denying Israel’s ability to defend its people and territory. This decision must be condemned by all who value truth and justice.” The NJA further charged that the "ICJ’s ruling exacerbates the humanitarian crisis in Gaza" as "[h]alting military operations against Hamas will not lead to peace but will prolong the suffering of both Israelis and Palestinians. "The true path to alleviating the humanitarian disaster in Gaza lies in dismantling Hamas’s infrastructure of terror and allowing genuine humanitarian aid to reach those in need without interference from terrorist activities."

• WSJ: Is the International Court of Justice paying attention?

• The families of the hostages demand that the government reject outright the decision in The Hague.

• Lawyer: "With the reading of the orders, it should be mentioned again that the president of the International Court of Justice in The Hague, Nawaf Salam, is Lebanese and was even previously Lebanon's ambassador to the United Nations. In other words, the President of the High Court is a representative of a country that daily carries out military attacks from its soil against the State of Israel. A joke at the expense of the Jews."

• Activist: The president of the court in The Hague, Nawaf Salam from Lebanon, a country that fires at us non-stop just because it feels like it, announced that "Israel must stop the operation in Rafah immediately and that allegations of genocide must be investigated." You can't make this shi-t up.

Some tweeted about ICJ - Intl Court of Jihad...

It is not up to any judge to decide if the IDF can rescue an Israeli woman being brutalized.

[Judge Bean]

If Trump quits funding it, it will fold up like a cheap seat.

[Judge Bean]

Funding the UN, and fold up like a cheap suit.

HAMAS is fundamentally dedicated to war with and extermination of Israel and Gazan civilians voted HAMAS into power knowing that.

The majority of Gazan civilians are every bit as culpable as parents that give AR-15s to their hate-filled, mentally deranged children.

The majority of Gazan civilians are every bit as culpable as lynch mob crowd members who would have Klansmen decorate a tree.

So where is the peace keeping troops of the UN to go in and help? Isn’t that what the dues are for to intercede and help bring peace to a war region? Of course, crickets. Just condemn from their seats.

Peace keeping or peace per se and the UN = oxymoron.
