World Court Hears Case Against Israel for Genocide

The International Court of Justice (ICJ) began hearings into Israel's genocide against Palestinians in Gaza and the Occupied Palestinian Territories (OPT). The ICJ, which sits in The Hague and is the UN's top court, is expected to hear from 40 States and four international organizations in proceedings slated to last all week. Link: www.icj-cij.org The head of OCHA testified: "Today people are not surviving in Gaza, those that aren't being killed with bombs and bullets are slowly dying." Charges against Israel for apartheid were previously filed against Israel at the ICJ. An international arrest warrant issued by the ICC remains active for PM Benjamin Netanyahu for war crimes. An indictment is merely an accusation. All defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.

Israel has killed over 50,000 Palestinians (including over 14,500 children) and injured or maimed more than 100,000 victims since Oct 2023. Palestinian children have not only lost limbs to IDF bombs, but parents, creating thousands of orphans. The IDF blockade of Gaza has reached 60 days and will kill more Palestinians from starvation, disease, and internal violence as people fight each other for bare sustenance. Meanwhile in the US, kapos Bill Maher and Joe Rogaine will continue making a fortune propagating distracting messages to the American public on behalf of the status quo.

"A US official addressing the International Court of Justice (ICJ) defended Israel's attacks on United Nations agencies in Gaza as potentially lawful."

Look at the expression on the faces of the State Dept personnel at the Hague pathetically defending Israel and genocide: www.middleeasteye.net

That's attorney Joshua Simmons looking mortified on the left (Bio: https://www.state.gov/biographies/joshua-simmons/). The other State Dept lawyer on the right can't even look at the photographer.

American Muslims voted to punish Biden and Harris.
By electing the guy who says Palestine doesn't exist and bibi isn't tough enough on them.
They should be so proud.

#4: American Muslims make up 1.3% of the US population at between 2.1m to 3.7m people (and not all of them are of voting age). 21% of them voted for Trumpf; 20% voted for Kamala Harris; 59% voted for Jill Stein. 25% of the Arab-American population is of Lebanese descent, a country Israel destroyed last year. Scapegoating this razor-thin minority is Islamophobic and a distraction from ethnic cleansing in Israel. And Chuck Schumer must go.

Kamala lost the electoral college by 115,000 votes. www.thenation.com

The Pro-Trump/Stein Muslims did their part. The ones who helped convince 8-10 million 2020 Biden voters to sit on their butts at home on election day did their part as well.

But yes, it is Islamophobic to lay blame at the feet of those who helped accomplish a result...

Muslims For Trump: We Were A Deciding Factor
"Muslims for Trump proudly celebrates the historic landslide victory of President Donald Trump in the 2024 Presidential election, where Muslim-American voters proved to be a decisive factor,"

"Muslims for Trump concentrated efforts on states such as Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin, where the Muslim vote became a linchpin for victory. Trump has acknowledged our role, and we are ready to work alongside his administration to advocate for policies that support peace and unity.""

FUCK Israel. The ONLY BLAME FOR THIS HORROR IS ON ISRAEL ITSELF.

Everything else is just lame excuses.

#8: Indeed. The AIPAC Democratic Party mantra heard over and over is "See? They should have voted for Kamala!" or "Is this better?" or "Serves them right for not voting for Kamala Harris!"

Did any one these child amputees in Gaza vote on 5 Nov 2024?

This tactic is blatant victim blaming and distracts from the fact that the hardworking American taxpayer funds both ethnic cleansing in Israel, as well as their top-rated universal healthcare system.

Adjusting for inflation, US aid to Israel from 1951 to 2022 totaled $317.9 billion, making it the largest recipient of American foreign aid since World War II. There are many in the Democratic Party that vote Democratic in US elections, but support AIPAC and the Likud Party in Israel. Young David Hogg and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC) pose a threat to that calcified status quo. Senator Chuck Schumer (D-NY) must go.

So the Muslims for Trump were victim blaming themselves when they took credit for his win last November?

Not that you'll respond. Too busy hiding in your safe space.

Well, if Muslims for Trump is anything like Hamas, it strengthens their brand when Israel crushes the Palestinians.

But I don't know anything about "Muslims for Trump" as an actual org.
Muslims for Hillary was a Russian social media psy-op in 2016, though.

21st century Hamas guerillas = 19th century Sioux Nation warriors.
