Virgos Groove Posted July 19 Posted July 19 Quote The president of the International Court of Justice has said basically all the arguments that were brought forward by 52 states and international organisations during the hearings were valid. Quote He also said that Israel's arguments for this occupation – meaning that they need the occupation for military and security purposes – are completely invalid. He actually called it a "permanent occupation" which is basically the same as annexation. Quote This is going to be a landmark advisory opinion from the highest court of the UN, which is nonbinding but will still have implications. It raises questions about the legality of the occupation, and also about the consequences of the occupation for all states involved and the UN. This is basically a question for all countries that have a relationship with Israel. Al Jazeera 6
Velvet Night Posted July 19 Posted July 19 I mean everyone knows this already, every settlement outside the 1967 lines is illegal under international law. But as long as the US is backing Israel nothing will be done about it 2
Reflektor Posted July 19 Posted July 19 What's wild as when I read all of the rulings, so much of it was *so* obvious that it was almost comical. While I know the US will outright reject and not comply with the ruling, I'm interested to see how other Western nations, especially those who have or will soon recognize Palestine are going to respond. It goes to show everyone who has not shut up about this and has protested, participated in BDS, and spread information were right to do so. Together we can influence these corrupt systems of power (until we overt*row them). 2
