ICJ'S PROVISIONAL MEASURES


Item#1

[Note from J: See Item#2 below for a documented comparison of what South Africa requested and what the ICJ granted. Two additional ways to watch the hearing are South Africa's eNCA news channel here and Aljazeera here.]

I couldn't get Item#2 to cut-and-paste.

Item#4

Item#5

Excerpt:


"We are also concerned that the Court did not note in its order the right of the Palestinian people to resist, firmly recognized in international law, nor did it note that the Israeli claim of a “right of self-defense” against a people under occupation and colonialism is baseless. These omissions weaken the Court’s own declared mission to uphold international law and promote international justice, seemingly in the interests of appeasing the parties it assesses as requiring provisional measures to alleviate the risk of genocide. We view this as fundamentally reflective of the insufficiency of international legal bodies and institutions in addressing the crimes of imperialist powers and their allies."

Israel Accuses The ICJ Of (You Guessed It) Antisemitism

It does seem unlikely to me that managers of the Israeli war machine would be getting this freaked out and whipping out their tired old “antisemitism” song and dance if there wasn’t something of substance to it.

FEDERAL CASE AGAINST THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION GENOCIDE


Item#9

Gaza Genocide Lawsuit Against Biden Has Day in Court: Palestinians, Genocide Expert Provide Historic Testimony in U.S. Case

Today’s historic International Court of Justice ruling against Israel comes out hours before federal case is heard

Source: CCR website Press Release

January 26, 2024

[Note from J: The hearing itself was livestreamed on the court Zoom channel. The judge said he ordered the court closed to attendees for “public safety.” The public was invited by CCR to the nearby First Congregational Church of Oakland to view the Zoomed proceedings on a large screen. There was supposed to be a presser following the hearing but there apparently were technical issues, however I believe some of the lawyers, the expert witness, and plaintiffs who were met by a large group of supporters outside the courtroom and then went over to the church and met with those who were there for the viewing. My kudos to all involved. I would appreciate anyone who was actually there for the post-hearing activities emailing me with any corrections or additions.]


The court's recording of the Defense for Children International-Palestine v. Biden hearing can be found here.


The Plaintiffs' COMPLAINT can be found here. Some highlights:

CLAIM I: VIOLATION OF THE DUTY TO PREVENT GENOCIDE (pp. 79-81)

CLAIM II: COMPLICITY IN GENOCIDE (pp. 81-84)

PRAYER FOR RELIEF (pp. 84-85)

ANALYSIS/COMMENTARY


Item#20

January 21, 2024


Item#21

All indications are that Israel used the October 7 attack as a pretext for the preexisting master plan to get rid of the Palestinians whose presence blocks the establishment of Greater Israel with sovereign control over the West Bank and at least portions of Gaza

Hamas had publicly and by back channels pushed for a 50-year cease-fire with Israel

Ray McGovern: In my view, the war in Gaza is going so badly for Israel that its Great White Hope is to get the US directly involved militarily. The best way to do that is to involve Iran…
