The ICJ tribunal indulged South Africa’s genocide libel by going ahead with a trial and trashing Israel for self-defense against Hamas. But the justices rejected Pretoria’s request to order Israel to stop the war. The court instead instructed Israel to prevent acts of genocide, punish incitement and facilitate aid to civilians—which Jerusalem is already doing. Israel will have to report back in a month, and the court could take years to decide on the merits.
As law professor Eugene Kontorovich writes, “That’s Jewish joy—they defamed us, treated us like no other democracy, undermined our right to self-defense, put the victim on trial—but it could have been worse!” All true, and an order to halt the war while Hamas holds territory and 136 hostages would have put Israel in a tight spot.The U.N.’s credibility is also on trial, especially through Unrwa, whose reports the court relied on. After Israel brought evidence that 12 Unrwa employees participated in the Oct. 7 attack, the U.S. State Department announced on Friday a pause in funding to the U.N.’s Palestinian refugee agency pending investigation.
A new U.N. Watch report, to be released and discussed in Congress on Tuesday, shows “how a Telegram group of 3,000 UNRWA teachers in Gaza celebrated the October 7th Hamas massacre.” The message group’s administrators, identified by name and Unrwa contract number, are seen praising Hamas’s “holy warriors” and praying for them to murder Israelis: “O God, tear them apar…

The United Nations is an obscenity. Throw it out of New York City. Stop wasting my tax dollars funding this human waste product.
@FreeTradeSeafowlDemocrat4mos4MO
I understand your anger with the United Nations. Throwing it out of New York City would certainly put it out of sight and the minds of hundreds of millions of Americans who are legitimately outraged by the farce the UN most oftentimes is.
That said, the humanitarian aid the UN provides has helped alleviate suffering of hundreds of millions of people all over the world since the UN was established in 1945.
Also in 1945 the UN Charter changed international law by outlawing the use of force by one UN member nation-state against another UN member nation-state. That of course does not apply in… Read more
@WalrusSamanthaRepublican4mos4MO
The U.S. can and has supplied humanitarian aid to the world without the help of the UN and will continue to do so. Threats of sanctions from the UN are ignored and completely useless. The UN members come to NY and ignore our laws and in general trash human dignity.

The U.N. has done nothing to deter Putin and never will unless they discover that he is Jewish.
@Patriot-#1776Constitution4mos4MO
And abolish NATO too!
@9CJ6CB64mos4MO
Really, REALLY bad plan if you don’t like Russia going nuts and invading the entirety of Eastern Europe.
@Patriot-#1776Constitution4mos4MO
I really don't care because Eastern Europe isn't the US
@9CJ6CB64mos4MO
And that’s our problem, even from an isolationist perspective, what the heck do you think would come after? China and Russia live to play the long game: attack who they can, consolidate power, and weaken their big enemies to attack and destroy later. We’re next on the menu if we let them move past the buffer zones on our safety: the rest of Europe and the world at large. As long as they attack our allies or try to consolidate, we have reason to be worried, because eventually that will mean they’ll be on our doorstep, that’s how geopolitics works.

The timing of the UNRWA “revelations” just hours after the ICJ ruling says all you need to know. Israel & its benefactors needed a distraction. It doesn’t matter that the intel comes from the Israeli military and is most likely forced confessions. They just needed the headlines.
@RightsCharlotteGreen4mos4MO
They sat on this info for 100 days until the court ruling? Then there was no confession or they’d have run this weeks ago when they were catching flack for blowing up UN buildings and workers. Just another lie
@FinickyBoaSocialist4mos4MO
There is no evidence for this claim about UNRWA workers
The claim comes from Israel, saying they got it from "interregations"
Its another lie, aimed at making Palestinian groups look suspicious & to discredit their testimonies to ICJ.
Theyre disgusting
@V0lunteerWhitingDemocrat4mos4MO
What's wrong with the prevailing situation in Gaza since the Hamas carnage on October 7? Permanent refugee camps are in existence for 75 years in Gaza and the West Bank, but no Arab neighbors say a word.
Generations of Palestinians in ovine silence accept this appalling state of affairs with no questions. Generations of children have grown up in camps into adulthood with murderous rage and hatred towards Israel, the USA and the West. But we hear of no protest or challenge against the two ruling bodies that rule Palestine. There's been no free and democratic elections, based on unive… Read more
@T4riffTacosGreen4mos4MO
Ah, here comes BJP/Likud (or Modi/Netanyahu) axis, Muslim genocide being the common denominator.
@V0lunteerWhitingDemocrat4mos4MO
Sadly, you've missed your vocation as the Oracle and prognosticator of Delphi since, without even a clue about me, you can divine my politics and supposed Islamophobia! Hats off to you. More seriously, try reading some real books, not social media posts or Tik Tok videos.
The Partition of Palestine by Itzhak Galnoor is a good introduction. More books you can find in your local library, assuming you're capable of not indulging in ad hominem attacks.
@9CJ6CB64mos4MO
Well a lot of the UNRWA is Muslim, and a lot of them are hurt directly by Israel, so it doesn’t surprise me in the slightest that at least some of them go to the extremes, though I strongly condemn it. The UN itself isn’t against Israel, it’s against the war, as shown thousands of times, and especially in votes of the nations, where America is one of the very few actually voting nay on a ceasefire. The Israeli military is the strongest in the region, holding extreme quantities of military aid from nearly all of their allies and holding several nuclear weapons. They’ll survive being told to stop, as they’ve lost 1/20th of the damage they’ve been inflicting on Palestinian civilians, so when the UN says to aid the refugees and minimize civilian deaths, it also means to TRY HARDER ALREADY.

The US should not be supporting Israel or Palestine. Both are Terror states
We're siding with the wrong country
@9JFZ8MB4mos4MO
Pro Israel and Pro two state solution but only with security for Israel
@MajesticCrowDemocrat4mos4MO
"After Israel brought evidence that 12 Unrwa employees participated in the Oct. 7 attack, the U.S. State Department announced on Friday a pause in funding to the U.N.’s Palestinian refugee agency pending investigation."
The only proper response would be for the US State Dept. to not "pause" funding but to cut off any funding now or at any point in the future without full congressional approval!
@9JFVCZ84mos4MO
I think there are multiple things that matter but America is hiding it.
@LizardNickConstitution4mos4MO
The best thing to happen is for next Republican President on day one send over an eviction notice and advise the UN leadership they have 48 hours to leave American soil. In addition, fund the UN to retain our veto power to the level of a developing nation like China, because under the Biden/Obama run government that's were we are headed. China pays the UN approximately $480 million dollars while the United States shells our almost 12 Billion. No more funding more than what China pays.
The UN is nothing but a nest of anti-American, anti-Semites and rotten to the core. The UN is even fundi… Read more
