The ICJ case so far is a joke. A lot countries crying, yet noone is willing to actually lift a finger against Israel or it's allies outside of this court. You would think that the Arabian and African world combined would be a bit stronger than this.

Stop sending oil and other vital products to Israel and there allies, isolate them, sanction them. Hell stop exporting LNG and oil to the EU and UK as long as they send weapons to Israel. Wanna stop weapon exports from Europe to Israel stop exporting LNG to Europe. Drop them in another energy crisis. Show them you can hit their economy too and hard.

This whole case is just a big virtue signal from countries who are not willing to stand for their ideals if it costs them a bit of money. Yet the Palestinians are paying the price for it.

Well said.

It's not the same people presenting the case as the ones ruling the country though. In the end, money always speaks louder than words, and the protection of money trumps human life by everything.

That's why I linked this piece, discussing the new cold war between US and China.



The US keeps its grip on the world by controlling the money, the US Dollar as global currency and also controlling all bank transactions through SWIFT. China has created it's own digital banking system which the US doesn't want anyone to use. However gulf states are looking at China as an alternative place to store their vast hordes of oil money.

The 'problem' with them sanctioning the US now is that tanking the dollar is tanking their own assets. The gulf states are playing the long game, investing in China while protecting their dollar assets.

The Palestinians are certainly paying the price of Geopolitics for over a century now. And continue to do so as for example Saudi Arabia simply looks on to see how far Israel can destroy itself before lifting a finger.

However the veil is getting lifted more and more while US' power (and thus Israel's) continues to decline. The hearings do have an effect, however it will take much more to save people's lives.
