Let’s fucking GOOOOO! Unlimited findings of Genocide against WeSSt Germany.
The global south has listened and doubted for decades to the West claiming that international institutions served all equally. Now even they are forcing these institutions to back their empty words with action or be revealed as hypocrites.
It’s never going to stick but I unconditionally salute this action because:
It’s going on permanent record forever and it will be entered into the history books
It will reveal the political undercurrents that exist to protect countries like the USA, Germany, and Australia in their unwavering support for and complicity in the genocide committed by Israel
Mao was right about where political power comes from. We will not see justice from the ICJ today but we might just see the delegitimisation of these political institutions that are captive to the west, and maybe that’s the most realistic thing that we can hope for.
I didn’t think the South Africa - Israel case would have succeeded either but it did so I’m very cautiously optimistic something will stick.
So much of Germany’s post war image is built on being rependtent for genocide that even a small victory for Nicaragua would absolutely fuck up Germany’s image.
South Africa’s case hasn’t succeeded yet, they got a preliminary finding that Israel is plausibly committing genocide. It’ll probably be a year before a final verdict is reached, by which time the evidence against Israel will only be stronger. I’m optimistic, but it’s not certain.
Also isn’t that Ugandan judge the voted in favor of Israel now the ICJ’s vice-president. How hard will that make things for South Africa and Nicaragua?
ICJ has been ignoring South Africa’s demands and “ghosting” them for over two weeks now because
, which South Africa and several other nations have taken direct note of, or even highlighted this disparity verbatim.
However, the deliberate floundering of the ICJ suit has given enough validation that any Western talking point should be at bare minimum, dismissed entirely.
