Israel Not Complying with World Court Order in Genocide Case
Israel Not Complying with World Court Order in Genocide Case
The Israeli government has failed to comply with at least one measure in the legally binding order from the International Court of Justice, in South Africa’s genocide case.
The Israeli government has failed to comply with at least one measure in the legally binding order from the International Court of Justice (ICJ) in South Africa’s genocide case, Human Rights Watch said today. Citing warnings about “catastrophic conditions” in Gaza, the court ordered Israel on January 26, 2024, to “take immediate and effective measures to enable the provision of urgently needed basic services and humanitarian aid,” and to report back on its compliance to the specific measures “within one month.”
One month later, however, Israel continues to obstruct the provision of basic services and the entry and distribution within Gaza of fuel and lifesaving aid, acts of collective punishment that amount to war crimes and include the use of starvation of civilians as a weapon of war. Fewer trucks have entered Gaza and fewer aid missions have been permitted to reach northern Gaza in the several weeks since the ruling than in the weeks preceding it, according to United Nations Office of the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA).
“The Israeli government is starving Gaza’s 2.3 million Palestinians, putting them in even more peril than before the World Court’s binding order,” said Omar Shakir, Israel and Palestine director at Human Rights Watch. “The Israeli government has simply ignored the court’s ruling, and in some ways even intensified its repression, including further blocking lifesaving aid.”
Human Rights Watch found in December 2023 that Israeli authorities are using starvation as a weapon of war. Pursuant a policy set out by Israeli officials and carried out by Israeli forces, the Israeli authorities are deliberately blocking the delivery of water, food, and fuel, willfully impeding humanitarian assistance, apparently razing agricultural areas, and depriving the civilian population of objects indispensable to its survival.
You're viewing a single thread.
what a surprise that a genocidal regime refuses to comply with anti genocide orders.
Israel is hopeless..
An order that has no enforcement arm.
I suppose there is the idea of honour. Or simply, wanting the world to be sure you are not committing genocide.
Instead the Israelis have turned a whole generation against them. they will find it hard to travel and be accepted as a civilised people from this point on.
there is no significant protest in Israel against the genocide. they are complicit. the only protest is against the way things are being done.
there is no significant protest in Israel against the genocide
There is, but it's being systematically repressed, often violently.
Just like in Russia, thousands are being brutalized by their government for protesting while people like you make frankly bigoted statements about how they're all willingly complicit.
Anything anti Israel is antisemitism stop being a nazi and just bend over
Israel isn’t hopeless, Bibi just has to go
If there is no significant protest against the genocide then they are hopeless.
There is, though, see my first reply to your untrue assumptions for documentation.
you are free to show me documented instances of mass protest against the genocide in the strip.
the Israelis are fine with the destruction. they even revel in it.
I already did here, can't you read?
There are a few great anti war protestors but 80% of israel supports the current Genocide.
The current media spin is that this is all just a "Netanyahu problem". But what we're seeing now is just israel. And it's what israel always has been.
So what is the solution for this problem, in your opinion?
A one state solution with equal rights for all.
And a trial for both governments and armies.
That is something Palestine and especially Hamas will not accept. They have said multiple times already that they wish for a "pure Muslim state".
There's Christians living in Gaza for centuries. They have churches. Hamas does not harm them. That "pure Muslim state" isn't being enforced on a group Hamas could easily oppress. Not sure where you're getting that from.
Recently there were Christians in Gaza in a Church which were sniped down. And the snipers weren't Hamas. They were IDF.

Hamas has always maintained that they have a problem with Zionism not with Judaism. From their 2017 charter:
- Hamas affirms that its conflict is with the Zionist project not with the Jews because of their religion. Hamas does not wage a struggle against the Jews because they are Jewish but wages a struggle against the Zionists who occupy Palestine. Yet, it is the Zionists who constantly identify Judaism and the Jews with their own colonial project and illegal entity.
As for the second part, israel is the party which refuses to come to any agreement. The israeli cabinet very openly states that they will never recognize a Palestinian state
Hamas has already said they are open to negotiations in their latest ceasefire deal.
There are absolutely some voices for peace and equality in Israel, like the two knesset members that were suspended, Ofer Cassif and Aida Touma-Sliman as well as organizations like Jewish Voice for Peace, Breaking the Silence, and B'TSelem.
Unfortunately, these voices are still in the minority and are actively being suppressed by the Israeli government. The history of transfer and settler colonialism has been deeply entrenched in Zionist and Israeli leadership since before and after 1948
Dude. The protests should be too large for the police to contain. A dozen people here and a dozen there is not mass protest.
It isn’t an issue of changing rulers. The very foundation of the Zionist states depends upon settler colonialism, apartheid, and genocide - to completely replace the population of an entire region.
