The International Court of Justice (ICJ) ordered Israel on Friday to take action to prevent acts of genocide as it wages war against Hamas militants in the Gaza Strip but stopped short of calling for an immediate ceasefire.
The top United Nations court for handling disputes between states was ruling in a case brought by South Africa.
Here are key takeaways from the decision.
I thought it was strange that this article limited their description of Israel’s reaction, to only Ben Gvir saying “Hague Schmague”. Multiple Israeli cabinet officials have accused The Hague of being anti-semetic since the ruling, which is much more serious than silly wordplay. Why would Reuters downplay the emotional responses to the decision?
Ah yes, the classic “you’re anti-semetic if you’re against genocide” defense.
Yeah, the Israeli government’s response to the ICJ decision have been appalling.
Im not criticizing Reuters as a whole for leaving out defense minister Gallant’s and security minister Ben-Gvir’s comments, I just think it was a mistake to not include that in this article. The Israeli government is not just mocking the ICJ, they’re delegitimizng it.

Israel commiting an occupation of Palatine for over 80yrs, overtly commiting the genocide of non Jews. And we are still discussing the semantics. Earth filled with so many absolute morons.
Israel with the ad hominem defense “but it’s antisemitic”.

I’m still learning about world politics…
ICJ asks for things and then… what happens? What’s the “or else” in an international court like this?
