The ICJ Ruling Confirms What Palestinians Have Been Saying for 57 Years

The United Nation’s top court filed a ruling Friday that echoed what Palestinian advocates have been saying for decades: Israel’s occupation of Palestinian land, including its settlements in the West Bank, is illegal and must end.

The International Court of Justice’s advisory opinion also called for reparations for Palestinians who have lived under Israel’s occupation since it began in 1967, an unprecedented step for the court.

The court also notably declared Israel’s mistreatment of Palestinians to be a form of segregation and apartheid. It further ruled that nations cannot offer aid in support of the illegal occupation without violating international law, and upheld the Palestinians’ right to self-determination.

Holy shit that’s some serious results.

Oh well, not like the US cares about violating international law. Biden et al will keep arming, funding, and defending them.

This is the best summary I could come up with:

While ICJ officials read out their ruling on Friday from the Peace Palace in The Hague, Netherlands, Mack received new reports of Israeli settlers attacking Palestinians in the West Bank.

“In the West Bank, it’s business as usual unless governments have the political will to force both Israelis and Palestinians” into implementing a two-state solution that gives Palestine sovereignty.

Soon after, Israel began to establish settlements inside the occupied territories, supporting Israeli civilians as they built communities atop land taken from Palestinians.

And in recent months, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s far-right government has used its war in Gaza as a cover to expand its settlements at a rate faster than previous decades.

The Israeli government immediately dismissed the ICJ ruling, with a defiant Netanyahu calling Jerusalem “our eternal capital” and referred to the West Bank as “the land of our ancestors,” using the biblical names “Judea and Samaria.”

B’Tselem, an Israeli-based human rights group, was among a host of organizations that welcomed Friday’s ruling after decades of their own advocacy calling for an end to Israel’s occupation.

The original article contains 887 words, the summary contains 176 words. Saved 80%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!

Western sanctioned genocide, nothing to be done. Thr Hague is likely to see sanctions more than Israel.

The U.S is the primary supporter, and they dont acknowledge courts “they are not party of”. Bush removed the US in 2002.

This is good for the rest of world, and for posterity, but it’s not going to have an immediate impact. The main supporter of isreal doesn’t recognize the court.

This is good news. I hope that it will translate into some effective action.

Edit: Misleading headline. This is an advisory opinion, which appears to be non-binding. I don't think "ruling" is entirely appropriate.

In general, advisory opinions are not binding, but may inform the development of international law. According to the ICJ website, advisory opinions:

"carry great legal weight and moral authority. They are often an instrument of preventive diplomacy and have peace-keeping virtues. Advisory opinions also, in their way, contribute to the elucidation and development of international law and thereby to the strengthening of peaceful relations between States."
