The u.s.a. was already condemned in the case of Nicaragua and nothing changed and nobody knows that, in the very improbable offchance that Israel was condemned, they would just act like Russia when the International Court of Justice ordered them to leave Ukraine.
Let’s say that our medias talk about this improbable success and, even more improbable, support the ICJ and condemn Israel, everyone would just forget a month later. Sure, there’s nothing to lose by trying, but not much to gain either, it’s not the beginning of an effective solution, it’ll be the exact same shit as before.
And the ICJ wouldn’t even need to be considered the bad guy, the contradiction wouldn’t raise an eyebrow, but let’s say i’m wrong, have an hope in this if you want.
Nicaragua v US was almost 40 years ago, back when the US empire was at the height of its strength. Also, Israel’s genocide is ongoing, whereas Nicaragua v US happened several years after the Contra scandal. There are some clear differences here that you should acknowledge before you dismiss this as a nothing burger EDIT oh actually your edit addressed that nvm >.>
I’m not saying this is The Thing that will end the genocide or end the US empire. I’m saying it’s one more straw for the camel’s back.
