lol the ICJ Israel defence just argued that because the call for ceasefire was not issued by the court during the 90s war crime ridden conflict in Bosnia there is a precedent not to call for one now. Literally "Hey we didn't rule to stop a genocide back in the day so we shouldn't do so now". Absolutely wild.
Btw back in the day 500 trucks with supplies came into Gaza per day. Showing a line up of trucks is not proof that Israel is allowing aid to reach Palestinians. #ICJ

One truck in per hour if lucky.
Dog, cat and other animal food hasn’t entered Gaza since 7 Oct #icj
Objectively though I think that Shaw in his dry speech, too dry even for his own vocal cords, has presented an emotionless legal assessment that is mostly focused on procedural elements, which aim towards the conclusion that #ICJ does not have jurisdiction.
Why not own it? Say, sorry! Something got messed up, take a second. No humility, having to keep the arrogant stance going by blaming others. The change in energy when he was talking out of his head for a second vs when he’s reading was obvious. #icj
Quoting a statement from Netanyahu on 10 January, i.e. one day before the hearing, is as good as quoting @vonderleyen’s statement as evidence against genocide #icj
@lisa_enough Exactly! It’s characters like him that are driving me away from the legal profession, this arrogant, know-it-all smugness. And let’s not forget the archaic look with the wigs etc. to symbolise power and authority. Hello, 2024 is calling!
I've just tuned into the ICJ & they're going with their best defence, that they're victims and hostages are worthy of justice. It's still not much though is it given Israel's not doing anything to help their victims and are instead just committing a genocide.

After a historic campaign to finally 'End the Cage Age', and 1.4 MILLION signatures (one of the biggest citizen initiatives *ever*) – this is what the European Commission does: cave in as soon as the meat industry starts lobbying.
Sheep farmers howl when wolves, bears, or eagles take sheep from them, but I've never seen a shepherd cry in front of a 3-decker truck carrying sheep on top of each other for hundreds of miles in 35° heat.....
