The ICJ acknowledging that what is happening to the Palestinian people is genocide is a step, but is nowhere NEAR enough without the call for ceasefire. Not to mention that what we are fighting for it not only a permanent ceasefire, but a FREE PALESTINE with removal of Israeli occupation. At the very least, the ICJ blocked Israel’s request to throw out this case and acknowledge the genocide.
Continue to be outspoken and to share resources that help the Palestinian people. Silence is complicity so please use your platforms to raise awareness! My pinned post has some Palestinian journalists, a book that talks about the history of Palestine, and some ways you can donate. But don’t rely on one tumblr post, seek this stuff out yourself too.

How is this not a genocide? Every single hospital in Gaza has now been completely destroyed. But remember the IOF told us they never target hospitals.

JVP ACTION:
On the same day that the International Court of Justice found South Africa's claims that Israel is carrying out a genocide against Palestinians in Gaza to be plausible, the Biden administration made the devastating announcement that it would suspend U.S. funding to UNRWA.
This is collective punishment — a war crime — and it is enabling Israel's unfolding genocide.
Write to your member of Congress now: Tell them to demand that the Biden administration immediately reverses this horrifying decision that will result in even more death.

The ICJ has made its first ruling on South Africa’s case accusing Israel of genocide. It will take the case to completion, which will take years, and order as provisional measures that Israel must cease and punish statements of incitement, and more significantly take all measures within its power to prevent genocidal acts. This is not the complete cessation of hostilities South Africa asked for, but it is still incredibly significant, at least symbolically. Israel have already said they will not let The Hague stop them, but if states like the US do not put serious pressure on them to uphold the ICJ’s ruling, this will make a mockery of the whole international order and any pretence of moral authority the West still feels able to claim. Hopefully this provides some relief for the Palestinian people, and at least frightens Israel into being less blatantly murderous.

it actually really fucks me off to see people praising the ICJ’s decision when the Palestinians actually on the ground communicating with us are screaming to the rooftops that this isn’t enough. all the lib-brained cretins on this website crowing about ‘progress’ don’t seem to understand that incremental change means less than fucking nothing when you’re on the ground, watching your home and family and your people being bombed, systematically destroyed by israeli troops. it means nothing when you’re afraid for your life.
Palestinians don’t have the luxury of waiting, and we all know full well that Israel WILL NOT abide by this ruling. Unless greater intervention is made, the bombardment will continue; but the ICJ is a bourgeois, imperialist court, made to serve bourgeois, imperialist interests. While they have shown themselves to be more benevolent than I had expected by condemning israel and conceding that they are committing genocide, the fact that they couldn’t even ask for a ceasefire speaks volumes.
Whether it’s due to deliberate inaction or whether they simply lack the capacity to do so, the ‘international community’ is still failing Palestine. It is up to us to continue the pressure, continue the boycotts, continue the action; and to threaten greater disruptions if further progress is not made.

There is some nuance that needs to be understood in order to appreciate the historic ruling of the ICJ
1) they cannot call it a genocide out loud right now. This was a preliminary hearing to ensure South Africa had the basis to bring the case to trial. The ICJ agrees the evidence suggests genocide and the case will proceed.
2) they cannot call for a ceasefire. For multiple reasons. A) A ceasefire is terminology for war. Their language indicates they know that this is a genocide but again, they cannot legally declare that before trial. So they can instead say they can’t kill or injure members of the group. B) Palestine doesn’t fall under their jurisdiction so they can’t call for a ceasefire, which indicates both sides need to stop. They have no authority over Palestine.
3)the EU has already announced its dedication to upholding the ruling. This is just the beginning. Any countries that violate, including Israel, can and will escalate this to higher courts.
Is this a perfect resolution? No. But it’s a major win and pretending otherwise is a slap in the face to Palestinians. Morale is so important for movements. Not just for the Palestinians, but to keep people fighting the good fight.
Do not be defeated.
“Remember that all through history, there have been tyrants and murderers, and for a time, they seem invincible. But in the end, they always fall. Always.” - Gandhi

Max Chandler Mather, Greens MP in Australia, rips into the Labor Government for continuing to support and sell arms to the Israeli Government, and placing sanctions on UNRWA rather than Israel, days after the ICJ found it to be plausible that Israel was committing genocide in Gaza.

I know the ICJ ruling sounds underwhelming, and there are aspects that are less than what we hoped, but we cannot downplay the significance of what happened.
The ICJ ruled that what Israel is doing is wrong. And that continuing to do it is signs of genocide. This will not stop Israel from doing it, but when they continue to do it, and others continue to fund them, then they all will be hit for it.
Tumblr media
What is crucial now is not relying on the ICJ for action, but recognizing that failure to stop this IS what the ICJ will go after. So now is the time to ramp up the work, pressuring politicians, blocking weapons. Anyone who supports Israel’s crimes is now legally complicit.
Make them feel it.
It has already started:

There are 75+ years of war crimes that Israel must answer for.
If we can still put 98 year old Nazi’s on trial and hold them accountable I expect no less for those around the world complicit in the creation and maintenance of Israel.
