The International Court of Justice (ICJ) issued an advisory opinion on July 19, 2024, with significant consequences for human rights protections in Palestine under Israel’s 57-year occupation. The opinion stems from a December 2022 request by the United Nations General Assembly to the court to consider the legal consequences of Israel’s policies and practices in the Occupied Palestinian Territory.

In a historic ruling the International Court of Justice has found multiple and serious international law violations by Israel towards Palestinians in the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including, for the first time, finding Israel responsible for apartheid. The court has placed responsibility with all states and the United Nations to end these violations of international law. The ruling should be yet another wake up call for the United States to end its egregious policy of defending Israel’s oppression of Palestinians and prompt a thorough reassessment in other countries as well.

      They’re not allowed to. This is basically all they can do: the equivalent of going "guys, this is without a doubt super fucked up and you should stop enabling it like you enabled the FIRST Apartheid regime for decades

        Even if the ICJ and UN had a massive army to send in, we would literally find ourselves at war against the USA.

          At this point it might almost be worth it to stop the slaughter…
