Israel did ratify the Genocide convention though; as a result

The Genocide Convention authorizes the mandatory jurisdiction of the ICJ to adjudicate disputes

I think from a global general-population perspective, if things don’t go the right way there are going to be some very angry and disillusioned people. People who are already teetering on the brink of going from abject frustration to full-on rage. For one side, nothing short of a cease-fire will do (as a bare minimum); for the other side, anything imposed on them is a crime against humanity.

I feel like UN/ICJ know this, so they’ll hedge their bets and swing for the middle. No matter which way it goes, some chunk of the general population is going to be let-down. Again.

Anyone else feel like this is a powder-keg waiting to blow up? 🙋‍♂️

Not only did they say the quiet part, they went ahead and pulled the cloak from the dagger. Every statement and action seems to be in blatant disregard of public perception on the international level. Diplomatic and otherwise.

I remember being utterly flabbergasted by how overtly things were happening when this all started. “The blood oath must be kept” was the best reason I had then.

Thanks to the less bullyable entities you mentioned some definitive action might finally be taken.

I feel like this micro-news-cycle and news fatigue thing is exactly what they’ve been counting on, seems like they legit think this will all eventually blow over. People will forget, get bored, or get distracted by something new…

I also feel like the attention has been sustained longer than they would have liked but they’re so balls deep into murder that its too late for the pull out game

I was reading up on this here and saw the same worrying thing in this article

Following high-level negotiations to win over Washington, the resolution no longer dilutes Israel’s control over all aid deliveries to 2.3 million people in Gaza. Israel monitors the limited aid deliveries to Gaza via the Rafah crossing from Egypt and the Israeli-controlled Kerem Shalom crossing.

So basically the US delayed the resolution for 4 days while people died, so that they could argue that a UN monitoring mechanism would ‘slow’ down the process and that Israel should continue to monitor the distribution of humanitarian aid…to the same people they’ve been desimating and who need the aid.

On which planet does majority of this aid make it to the people it’s directed to? It’s just going to end up funding more bullshittery and the people who need this aid desperately have their current enemy as the gatekeeper…

Wasn’t this some aspect of the qanon stuff? I swear I’ve heard this shit in those fringes
