The United States told the International Court of Justice Wednesday that Israel must provide aid to Gaza, but the country does not have to work with the U.N. agency for Palestinian refugees. The top court of the United Nations is holding a week of hearings on what Israel must do to provide desperately needed humanitarian assistance to Palestinians in Gaza and the occupied West Bank, following a request for an advisory opinion from the U.N. General Assembly last year. The U.S. said Israel had legitimate concerns about the U.N. Relief and Works Agency, also known as UNRWA, the largest provider...

South Africa returned to the International Court of Justice (ICJ) in The Hague, Netherlands, this week in an effort to stop Israel’s ongoing military operation in the city of Rafah against the last Hamas battalions in the Gaza Strip. The struggling African nation — which faces elections later this month — took Israel to the ICJ earlier this year, urging the court to declare that Israel was guilty of “genocide” in Gaza, even though Israel has taken pains to avoid civilian casualties, and allows hundreds of trucks laden with humanitarian aid to enter the territory every day. The ICJ ruled...

Gabriel, B. (2008). They Must Be Stopped: Why We Must Defeat Radical Islam and How We Can Do It. United States: St. Martin's Press, p.38By 1905 the West had liberated its territory previously conquered and savaged by Islam, and declared an economic and military victory, thus marking the end of 1400 years of Islamic rule and Jihad. During this period, Muslims had killed 270 million people across the globe: 120 million Africans, 60 million Christians, 80 million Hindus and 10 million Buddhists. * Arabia: (Some state:) 'It is estimated that as many as 400,000 people, including women and children, were...

The number of civilians reported killed in the Gaza conflict has been exaggerated to depict Israel as deliberately targeting innocent people, according to a new report cited by The Telegraph on Saturday. Researchers say the Gaza ministry of health inflated casualty figures by including natural deaths, failing to distinguish between civilian and combatant casualties, and over-reporting fatalities among women and children. According to the study by the Henry Jackson Society think tank, these figures have been manipulated by Hamas-run authorities in Gaza for propaganda purposes, with international media often repeating the claims without scrutiny. The report highlights that, based on...

Tánaiste (deputy PM) and Minister for Foreign Affairs Micheál Martin has secured Government approval for Ireland to intervene in two cases currently before the International Court of Justice (ICJ), at the Cabinet’s first meeting since the General Election. Firstly, South Africa’s case against Israel, initiated following the launch of military operations in Gaza after the 7 October 2023 attack. This concerns breaches of the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide in Gaza. By filing a declaration of intervention, Ireland is not joining either side in the case. Mr. Martin proposed to intervene to promote a...

Poison Fruits of Hatred Targeting Jews outside of IsraelNo Zionists are aiming at Arabs non terrorists. And of course nor are Arabs, Muslims and mosques attacked outside of Israel by them. But random Jews, places of worship have been, are being attacked by Arabs. Muslims. Targeting ultra orthodoxEach and every racist Arab-Muslim attacker (London, Antwerp, New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Melbourne, etc.) knows fully well: Haredim, are non Zionists, by in large, object serving in IDF. But this, again, like fascist Arabs taunting Haredi Jews in Jerusalem, proves, everything is about bigotry. Muslim lobby bloc OIC's slave: UN and some...

The top United Nations court took up the largest case in its history on Monday, hearing the plight of several small island nations helpless in combating the devastating impact of climate change that they feel endangers their very survival. They demand that major polluting nations be held to account. After years of lobbying by island nations who fear they could simply disappear under rising sea waters, the U.N. General Assembly asked the International Court of Justice last year for an opinion on “the obligations of States in respect of climate change.” “The stakes could not be higher. The survival of...

[Dearborn mayor: ‘The door is cracked open’ for Harris to address frustrations over Gaza.' PBS News Hour. Aug 7, 2024 6:45 PM EDT]Watching the so predictable lines of this pro jihad "Palestinian" mayor, one of his drama lines were that his/their position is "center."Asked about their "uncommitted" voice drive, then about Trump. He reminded the obvious of Trump's actions, such as moving the embassy to Jerusalem, he added about his cutting aid without Amna mentioning Palestinian Authority 'Pay for Slay' bloody problem, of course.As is typical, he cited the ICJ to "affirm" his propaganda. While the screen shows the anti-Israel...

The International Court of Justice has declared Israel's "prolonged occupation" and settlement policies in Palestinian territories since 1967 are unlawful and must end swiftly. This non-binding advisory opinion may intensify the legal and diplomatic scrutiny on Israel amid its ongoing conflict with Hamas in Gaza. The United Nations court ruled Israel's settlements in the West Bank, along with the "annexation" of East Jerusalem and continued control over certain aspects of the Gaza Strip, violate several international laws and norms, including The Hague Regulations and the Fourth Geneva Convention. "The Court considers that the violations by Israel of the prohibition of...

Dr. Guy Bechor: After Hamas brutally beat those it accused of being "thieves" and even wrote "thief" on their backs (and some of them were mere political opponents), a video that the IDF spokesman even circulated [link] around the world, Hamas gave an order to carry out a brutal lynching of them: They were stoned to death by the mob, the most brutal form of death, on video. The beauty of "the day after". After the official Hamas announcement, that it will be the ruler of the Strip and no one else, and therefore will return to sitting over the...

Trump wrote that the documentary was 'incredibly difficult to watch because, sadly, it graphically portrays the death and destruction that Hamas has unleashed.' Former US President Donald Trump urged people to watch the film Screams Before Silence by Sheryl Sandberg, which documents Hamas's sexual violence on October 7, in a post on his social network Truth Social on Tuesday morning. Trump wrote that the documentary was "...incredibly difficult to watch because, sadly, it graphically portrays the Death and Destruction that Hamas has unleashed."

It's about Islamic Bigotry stupid. OIC/ICC/ICJ - same "difference" by now. What is the difference between the Islamic countries block [lobby] OIC control in the UN and: ICJ --especially under racist Arab Nawaf Salam-- and ICC--especially under Islamic Karim Khan? - the latter is also a hypocrite, given his defense for Charkes Taylor, Liberian war criminal. Just like twisted misrepresented "report" by Omar Shakir apartheid slur (2021), using HRW for his long time bigoted activities long before joining the organization. At least since 2010. _ Related: President of UN's top court has long history of anti-Israel bias: 'Conflict of interest.'....

It was to be expected. It was a long time in the making. The racist and anti-Semitic government of South Africa, a country in decline and on its way to destruction and anti-white ethnic cleansing which annihilated the former Rhodesia which became Zimbabwe, filed a complaint against Israel a few months ago before the International Criminal Court for “war crimes” and “crimes against humanity”, and the complaint was deemed admissible by its prosecutor, a British Muslim named Karim Khan. The man named Karim Khan decided to request international arrest warrants against Binyamin Netanyahu and Yoav Gallant. If these arrest warrants...

The IDF has reduced the number of troops deployed in eastern Rafah and the Givati Brigade left the Gaza Strip overnight from the area where it had been operating for the last three weeks. The military explained, according to a report by Ynet, that this was done to allow the troops to return to Gaza and Rafah at a later date 'refreshed' after weeks of combat. Four combat teams from the 162nd Division remain. According to the report, the Givati Brigade's departure from the southern city in the Gaza Strip comes amid reports that Israel will allow the reopening of...

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...

The court's orders The ICJ has made several orders including for Israel to: • halt military operation in Rafah • open the Rafah border crossing with Egypt for the entry of humanitarian aid at scale • ensure access to Gaza for investigators and fact-finding missions • report to the court within a month on its progress in applying these measures 13-2 judgement

Why ICC’s ingrained bias ensures no fair ‘trials’ for Israel. May 24, 2024 | Greg Rose Karim A. A. Khan KC, Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court (ICC) Karim A. A. Khan KC, Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court (ICC) The Australian – 24 May 2024 The request for an arrest warrant against Benjamin Netanyahu and his Defence Minister, made by the International Criminal Court’s chief prosecutor, is unsurprising, but not for the reasons many might think. An integral purpose of the ICC’s political project has always been to delegitimise Israel. A target was drawn on Israel in the 1990s...
