Since I'm reading many people disheartened at the lack of ordering a ceasefire by the ICJ, here's some info:

The ruling was BIG and far more than many expected. I, for one, certainly did not expect that the German judge ruled in favor of all of the provisional measures, nor that the Israeli judge would rule in favor of some of them. That is absolutely ground-breaking.

This ruling, whilst not final, will change the course of how the international community is going to act towards Israel, because now they are all going to be very careful not to be complicit in what potentially might be ruled as an actual genocide in the merits case (which will likely take years, but that's how it goes).

Governments and individuals have a face to lose, and the ICJ ruling is one more nail in the coffin of their complicity.

no for real 'ceasefire' implies war. it implies a power balance of more equal footing. that's not what is happening here. this is genocide and the ICJ has stated as much in the most literal and clear terms they put down in no uncertain terms that history WILL judge the actions of Israel and all its accomplices the ICJ unfortunately has little power to directly enforce their ruling but they set the inexorable force of political pressure in motion you can see things changing if you actually look it's slow but it's strong this IS the beginning of the age of true decolonization I can't tell you when. but Palestine WILL be free. I swear to you we are going to be okay Important post
