Hope this is the beginning of Israel's transformation into an isolated and boycotted rogue state.
- Or, even better, the beginning of Isreal's transformation into a country where people see through the bullshit of the far-right and elect decent leaders, leaving Netanyahu to rot in prison.
  
  Going by the general trend around the world lately, that's a very unlikely outcome.
- It's a nice thought, but until US policy changes, Israel is bulletproof.
  
  You're right. Given demographic changes in the US, I do think it's only a matter of time before most Americans consider Israel to be an albatross around their necks.
Oh fuck off, Israel and their global backers are continuing their century-long campaign to take Palestine and remove/kill Palestinians. Hamas is just a recent development which happens to neatly justify this period of Israeli colonial violence.
After Hamas runs its course (however that ends up happening), then do you think Israel will back off? Of course not and the idea is preposterous.
- Yes. This is a campaign to remove Hamas and then it will end.
- This is a great joke .... but the fact that people are actually debating this perception of Israel should make people stop and think.
The USA could. By by ending the free weapons and money deliveries...
I mean, we probably won't, for reasons I don't understand.
- Can't kick start the rapture without the jews in jerusalem
The same world court created after the holocaust — an institution conceived of and supported by the Nuremberg prosecutor, also a Jew.
Tell it to the judge.
- They'll look to daddy USA and nothing will happen.
  
  The world court can do two things. First, arbitrate between two consenting states who agree to abide by the decision. Second, issue advisory rulings which have absolutely no functional authority. America doesn't have to step in. Nation states around the world wouldn't have signed onto a world court that could actually compel them to obey, we all like our sovereignty.
  
  I think the US is about done with Netanyahu. The media is already starting to talk about the fractures between him and Biden.
- What can the judge do? Invade them?
  
  Ultimately nothing concrete. Presently.
I would like to see him proven wrong.
I guess Israel doesn't let religion get in the way of its politics.
He thinks they are crushing Hamas, but Israel’s actions will only build them up.
Damn do I want Macron to send a tactical nuke through Bibi's window so bad. But he's a fucking shill
