    Israel will ignore it, and their paid-for members of the US Congress will ensure that anyone who tries to hold Israel accountable is threatened into submission by the US military, a subsidiary of the IDF. Israel rules America, and America is the strongest nation on earth, whom nobody will seriously cross. Ergo, Israel rules the world.

      Israeli rule will soon come to an end. They have become so brazen with their actions they have lost the support of the international community.

        Plenty of people persevere without much support from the international community. Starting with Gazans, pre-invasion.

      You don’t need to “rule the world” to ignore the ICJ.

      Among others, Japan ignored an ICJ order to stop hunting protected whales and Russia ignored ICJ orders related to its invasion of Ukraine. Neither one needed help from the US.

        That’s because nobody is going to fight a war over whales and Russia is Russia. Israel does not have that power level.

            Yeah, but didn’t the international community decide they liked Japanese money more?

          Nobody is going to start another war in Israel. The ICJ is a court of law, it does not authorize or even approve of violence.

            We don’t need to. We just need to stop giving them military aid and sanction them until they send Netanyahu to the Hague willingly. There’s more than just military action.
