In some ways yes, in some ways no. Lindsey Hilsum thinks itâs pretty significant.

This is the main problem with the ruling. Itâs a fairly big problem.

Would have made no difference. Israel would have carried on regardless
I donât think anybody believes otherwise. It would however have been an international humiliation for them to be explicitly told to stop immediately.
Theyâre right to say âHague Shmagueâ. Youâd wonder what on earth more they could possibly do to be told to actually stop.
I wonder how theyâd react if somebody said âHolocaust Schmolocaustâ.
They are utterly hated throughout the world now.

Yep. Thatâd be a start at least.

This Eylon Levy is some fucking piece of Goebbelsesque shit. A vile, vile, vile creature. Like a Twitter trollbot come to life.
Get fucked genocidal cunts
Israeli officials have accused the international court of justice of antisemitic bias and expressed dismay that a South African case alleging that the war in Gaza amounts to genocide was not thrown out altogether, after the court issued an emergency interim ruling.
Israelâs prime minister**, Benjamin Netanyahu,** said in response to the ruling that his country was committed to upholding international law, as well as defending its people. He said in a statement:
The vile attempt to deny Israel this fundamental right [to self-defence] is blatant discrimination against the Jewish state, and it was justly rejected.

While Israel is often dismissive of the UN, alleging the international organisation is biased against it, it took the ICJ case very seriously, sending a robust legal team to The Hague that argued it had a right to defend itself after the 7 October Hamas attack.
Yoav Gallant, Israelâs defence minister, who was cited by the court president for calling Palestinians âhuman animalsâ at the start of the Israeli offensive, said:
The international court of justice went above and beyond, when it granted South Africaâs antisemitic request to discuss the claim of genocide in Gaza, and now refuses to reject the petition outright.
Itamar Ben-Gvir, Israelâs far-right national security minister, tweeted:
This court does not seek justice, but rather the persecution of the Jewish people. Decisions that endanger the continued existence of the state of Israel must not be listened to. And we must continue defeating the enemy until complete victory.
The genocidal cunts havenât even got their propaganda line straight, but in a way thatâs the point.
Israeli ministers calling the ICJ anti-Semtic and Netanyahu and that Eylon Levy foghorn saying they got what they wanted.
Russia regularly spins totally contradictory propaganda lines simultaneously. Everything Israel says is a giant sewage hose of bullshit.
Who are your top 10?

Heâs a very underrated player. A tremendous goalscorer who had a very decent club career too. Surely the greatest Irish striker of the past 40 years anyway. A level above the likes of Niall Quinn and Frank Stapleton. His goalscoring record at international level stands up about against any of his peers. You can argue that he stat padded against the likes of Georgia, Macedonia, Gibraltar etc. but he still scored a raft of iconic goals. Germany at the 2002 World Cup, France in Paris 2009, Italy in Bari earlier that year. I thought a Spurs fan of all people would appreciate his brilliance as a finisher.
