International Court orders Israel to halt offensive in Rafah | BBC News

The United Nations' top court has ruled that Israel must "immediately halt its military offensive" in Rafah in southern Gaza.
The International Court of Justice, which decides disputes between countries, says "the catastrophic situation" in Gaza had deteriorated and described humanitarian conditions in Rafah as "disastrous."
The judges also said the Rafah border crossing with Egypt must be opened for the entry of humanitarian aid "at scale”.
South Africa had asked the ICJ to make the order as an emergency measure, saying Israel’s actions in Rafah amount to a “genocidal” operation and threatened the survival of the Palestinian people.
The Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has again rejected allegations of genocide, calling them false and outrageous. Some of his cabinet partners accused the court of antisemitism and siding with Hamas.
However for Mr Netanyahu’s critics the ruling is one more sign of Israel’s growing international isolation.

What’s confusing about this whole situation is that it’s possible to both condemn the Hamas attacks _and_ think Israel has been more than heavy-handed in its response to October 7th. It’s possible to support Palestinian freedom from Israeli state oppression without being antisemitic just as it’s possible to support Israel against Islamist aggression without being anti-Muslim. These 2 things are not necessarily mutually exclusive. Too many folk are either one thing or t’other in this conflict when it’s possible to be both/and.

[@BonusHole]

Israel hasn't been heavy handed it has done what it needs to do to deal with Hamas - who prevent civilians from fleeing, build bases under civilian infrastructure like Hospitals and refuse to fight the IDF openly preferring to attack civilians like total cowards. The reported 35,000 dead in Gaza turned out to be total bullshit. Not one single man recorded among the dead. Not one single Hamas Fighter reported dead among 35,000. The UN admitted their numbers come from Hamas and are total bullshit. So no Israel hasn't been heavy handed and we can all just butt our noses out of a sovereign nations business.

[@Tigger-roo1234]

This is not a reaction to October the 7th, oct 7th was the final straw whereby israel decided enough and that hammas had to go.. As Douglas Murray said ' you dont put out 80% of a fire' As to casualties its low considering and the only figures are supplied by hammas so are likely to be far lower.. hammas also uses civilians as human shields, this is unlike any other war and is being fought in the middle east but being judged by western eyes which is why there is the imbalance in consensus

[@CarlWheatley-wi2cl]

If they are going to throw accusations at Israel they they need to back them up in a court of law. So far we have the absurd claim of genocide followed by the even more absurd claim that Israel is deliberately starving Gazan civilians. Both accusations can be demolished in about five minutes in a court of law. So your "more than heavy handed" has ZERO legitimacy in terms of International law and the Laws of Armed Conflict.

So Israel is told that it must halt its offensive in Rafah by the International Court. Russia on the other hand can continue its offensive in the Ukraine. In fact did the International Court even convene on the matter? This reeks of double standards or is it a case that the International Court is more afraid of Russia than Israel?

[@felixdim3977]

An estimated 10,000 Palestinian children have been held in military detention over the past 20 years, with Save the Children noting that they are “the only children in the world who are systematically prosecuted in military courts.” Save the Children and a partner organisation consulted 228 former child detainees from across the West Bank, detained from between one and 18 months, and found that most children are beaten, handcuffed and blindfolded during arrest. They are also interrogated at unknown locations without the presence of a caregiver, and are often deprived of food, water and sleep, or access to legal counsel, according to the research. The main alleged crime for these detentions is stone throwing, which can carry a 20-year sentence in prison for Palestinian children. It is estimated that there are between 500 and 1000 children held in Israeli military detention each year.

[@larsrons7937]

"Interpol" is an organisation of various countries' police forces cooperating internationally. It was founded in France in 1923 (23 years before the U.N.) and has nothing to do with the ICJ (a U.N. organ) or the United Nations at all.

[@larsrons7937]

@@robbpatterson6796 Another example: Say you're USA and you have a problem with some criminals selling illegal substances originating in, say, Colombia. Both countries are in the Interpol cooperation. Both countries have police forces specially dedicated to the Interpol cooperation (to make things easy you call those police forces "Interpol"). You go to your own Interpol, who contacts the Colombian Interpol asking them to try to arrest those criminals responsible for the illegal substances. The Colombian Interpol then tries to arrest those criminals, just like they would wish you to help arrest criminals from or against Colombia in your own country. Interpol in the country can work alone, or instruct or help normal police of the country to do the police work. Bottom line is that Interpol is the part of a country's police that is dedicated to the Interpol police sooperation between member countries.
