The International Court of Justice’s (ICJ) genocide ruling indicates that Israel is plausibly committing genocide in Gaza, challenging the nation's perceived status as an eternal victim shielded by the Holocaust. Critics argue the ruling shows international law's susceptibility to manipulation by powerful countries, yet it provides a pathway to isolate Israel, offering hope for justice. The ICJ mandates Israel to prevent genocidal acts, punish public incitement to genocide, and ensure aid reaches Palestinians. Following the ruling, there's a call to boycott companies like Carrefour, accused of profiting from and enabling the situation in Gaza, under the #BoycottCarrefour campaign.
The ICJ has ruled that Israel is plausibly committing genocide. Israel can only maintain its regime through support from govs, institutions and companies like @CarrefourGroup. Carrefour profits from and enables Israel's #GazaGenocide. #BoycottCarrefour https://t.co/sEGJAuambQ https://t.co/ctH5eFdcEq
So Israel is taken to world court which ruled that Israel 1. prevent the commision of genocidal acts 2. prevent and punish public incitement to genocide 3. ensure aid and services reach Palestinians Here's what Israel did instead: https://t.co/TQcpSglSVT
What happens if Israel is found guilty of genocide? In its unwavering support of Israel, the United States might condemn itself. https://t.co/98CXgfN3qm
Some have argued that the ICJ ruling on the Gaza genocide proves that international law is a tool of the dominant, too corrupted by the great powers to achieve true justice. But the ICJ offered a way of isolating Israel, and that is a source of hope. https://t.co/3PCT7vZ5tF
The International Court of Justice’s genocide ruling shows Israel is no longer viewed as the eternal victim, and the Holocaust no longer shields it from scrutiny for the most grave crimes against humanity. https://t.co/NmDVrJJbI2
