Israel-Gaza war live: ICJ orders Israel to halt Rafah offensive in new ruling

The court is the highest UN body for hearing disputes between states. Its rulings are final and binding but have been ignored in the past, reports Reuters. The court has no enforcement powers.

And that's by design by the Big 5.
Just like their veto power at the Security Council making sure that they don't even get to condemn atrocities officially.
It's less of a court in the traditional sense, and more of an indicator and shaper of international sentiment.
- Still useless though. International sentiment was pretty clear even before this
Yeah, it's definitely not going to be enforced but it's still breaking the Genocide Convention. It basically says that in the future Israel might not comply with international treaties if it doesn't feel like it. This makes them hard to work with as a country.
Then there is also bilateral actions such as sanctions as a tool to put pressure.

The pro-genociders aren't gonna like this.

This is great news! Now let's act to stop genocide. I'm hoping...

#BDS

I'm sure this will stop them. Israel has nothing but ~~contempt~~ respect for international law.

Or else what?

Or else any last semblance of the rules-based international order is out the window.
- It already was after Iraq, but now they dragged it upstairs to throw it out of the window again, just to make sure it’s really dead.
- Aren't we well past this point already?
- Eh. The ICJ has zero enforcement authority, and is often very selectively ignored by tons of countries.
  The result of this will be:
  Israel: no.
  ICJ:
  Note that this is not a defense of Israel or an endorsement of the ongoing genocide they’re perpetrating. It’s merely a statement on how the ICJ is effectively toothless.
Or else we will be very very angry with you, and we will write you a letter telling you how angry we are.

Genocide Joe will be continued to be voted for and praised by Americans who call themselves "progressive", "liberal" or believe they have any "values" while politically approving of genocide.
The sad truth is that the court has no means to enforce its rulings. It relies on governments to be lawful and responsible and on people to demand that of their governments. However the majority of people in countries that still support the genocide are either themselves pro genocide or believe that genocide is in any way acceptable.
Future generations will look at our generation and consider us in the same category as the German Nazis, their supporters and those ignorant of their crimes.
- Progressives clearly are not happy with Biden about his Israel stance so claiming progressives support genocide is clearly rage bait nonsense. He is absolutely not doing a good job reining Israel in, but what exactly do you expect progressives to do? Vote for Trump? Not vote at all? Either way the result would be much worse genocide.
- I hate Biden and hate that I have to vote for him. Future generations are definitely going to hate us.
- Genocide Joe will be continued to be voted for
  No, that's actually the main problem other than the genocide itself: his stubborn insistence on actively contributing to the genocide is making it more and more likely that he's going to lose to a fascist who'll continue doing that AND be worse about just about everything else.
- Maybe it’s time to stop “just following orders.”
- If you're American, can I ask who you plan to vote for instead? The way I see it, there isn't really a preferable option.
- Anyone saying "genocide Joe" betrays their inability to think three feet in front of their face.
  And I say this fully aware Israel is committing genocide and crimes against humanity.

Mr Biden tear down this alliance!

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.

Removed, supporting genocide.
The Germans thought it was justified too
