They have no issues with sanctions on Cuba and NK, right?
Considering even this:
UN General Assembly calls for US to end Cuba embargo for 29th consecutive year

But if Democrats do it it is the lesser evil. If the Houthis do it, it is terrorism and you can't support that.

Oh, you say genocide and use of starvation as a weapon of war is against international law too? WE CANNOT HAVE THE SOVEREIGNTY OF ISRAEL QUESTIONED.

Needs more "trump is all your fault because you wanted representation in government" gaslighting IMO
-
Don't know if it's gaslighting if you change it to say "Trump is partially your fault because you didn't want to vote for the lesser of two evils". Still points out a bit of how ridiculous it is.

Aren't the ICJ, ICC and UNSC institutions of international law? And haven't they ruled over and over again that the settlements, occupations, blockades, and blocking of humanitarian aid to Palestine have been violations of international law?
-
The international courts are courts in name only. They don't have power because it is by design and thus any rulings are non-binding. The only real power there is is the UNSC, and it is extremely corrupt as everyone knows.

Is international law important or not?

Genocide is against international law, too.

Rule number 1 of international law is that it is not a set of laws, but a set of agreements that don't have the power of law.
-
but a set of agreements that don’t have the power of law.
Rule of law is about having a culture of respect for law as a legitimate product of democratic institutions. If law is only real to you because it's "real" in the sense of boots, batons and assault rifles, the 'power' you are interested in is not the power of law.
-
Enforcement is an inseparable part of the rule of law. If laws aren't enforced at all, your "laws" aren't anything more than moral judgments. If laws aren't enforced equally, you don't have a "rule" of law so much as a set of state-sanctioned persecutions.
There's a lot more to the topic than just enforcement, but to claim enforcement is anything but a crucial part of the mix is nonsensical.

Law is a product of the government beating the shit out of people who break its rules. Since there's no world government, international law doesn't really exist.
