When will THIS the cause of all troubles around the globe be addressed? Making it ILLEGAL that Rothschilds and many other ultra rich families and people use their greed and money to buy politicians institutions and even countries? Bringing this to a legal court of the people not the ICJ or UN they control is what needs done. Is there NO lawyers and judges left in the world that isn’t owned by these criminals? If there is then these legal practitioners should have a commission to bring them to justice and reparations paid to ALL the nations and countries that they have caused grave misery to for the last 200 years!!!

[@FazsterHQ]

I hold the view that widespread ignorance contributes to the problem at hand. Observing the comments in this forum, it's apparent that a comprehensive understanding of the situation is lacking. The US and UK have urged ICJ to refrain from offering advisory opinions, as any opinion favourable to the Palestinians would place them both at loggerheads with the international community, positioning them as the only two countries obstructing the path to justice. The US and UK’s official stance, ostensibly in favour of negotiations on what they claim is a bilateral “dispute”, could not be further from the truth, there is no dispute, it’s stolen land, plain and simple. However, this should be interpreted as a tactical ploy to protract the proceedings, thereby prolonging the occupation in the hope that, for however long it goes on, the Palestinians’ aspiration for statehood will disappear with time and all will be forgotten about. It's crucial to recognise that their intentions are far from benevolent. This scenario echoes the historical undertones of the crusades, revealing a pattern of behaviour where, under the guise of “negotiations”, there's an attempt to undermine the Palestinians, coercing them into making concessions that do not serve their best interests, such as the territorial exchanges proposed in the ‘Lieberman Plan‘. This plan would significantly disadvantage the Palestinians, as it entails the Zionists annexing nearly all their settlements in the West Bank, particularly those in major settlement blocs near the border, while only withdrawing from a few isolated settlements deep within Palestinian Territories, the proposals present no advantageous outcomes for the Palestinians. This indicates that the UK and US are not acting with the best interests of both parties in mind; instead, it clearly reflects a preference for serving the interests of only one group-the Zionists. This strategy is not new; it's a calculated move, and it's time we acknowledge the futility of bilateral negotiations. Instead, we should advocate for decisive actions to end the occupation, employing all necessary means. We cannot allow the US and UK to carry out their malevolent plans. They are the main actors in this occupation and they want you to believe it is the Zionist regime in Palestine.

[@EvaDamonte]

I agree. But what means?

[@zaflakhani3615]

Thanks, this makes sense

[@gen21617]

​@@EvaDamonteIt means the negotiations ploy is used as a means to undermine Palestinian claims on their land. The hope is that over time the occupation becomes a fait accompli, that is "too difficult" to undo. We can take hope from the look on Sally's face, when she read the room and realised the case was already lost. Unfortunately, we will still have to wait for the internal collapse of the US before any of the recommendations are implemented.

[@SimonTBam]

Palestine has never been a British colony, and the UK did not in reality give Palestine to anyone. Palestine has never been British territory. Palestine legally became a successor state of the Ottoman Empire in 1923 under the terms of the Treaty of Lausanne. This recognition of Statehood seems to be conveniently forgotten by the West in order to placate Israel. The notion that Palestine did not become a State is pure Israeli propaganda. The League of Nations, the Permanent International Court of Justice, the Permanent International Court of Arbitration, the UK Courts and even the Palestinian Courts ALL confirmed that Palestine was a legally existing State. The Partition Resolution 181 (II) was illegal as it breached Palestinian sovereignty. The Resolution was a recommendation for the Mandatory Power to Partition Palestine, which the UK refused to implement specifically because it breached Palestinian sovereignty. The Zionists just declared independence from the rest of Palestine illegally. Under international law Israel is not a legally existing State and I would argue that in any Court on earth.

That's precisely why the US, in it's own submission, bent itself into a pretzel to try to argue that Israel was NOT occupying recognised Palestinian land - which it CLEARLY IS - because of course that would make these other countries complicit legally, which they are. They're trying to have it both ways (UK), by POSTURING as recognising wrongdoing , but begs the court NOT to intervene, thereby allowing the transression to continue regardless. Wow - & this legal team is making tonnes of money making these ridiculous, hypocritical and morally bankrupt arguments in court. The hypocrisy is cringe-worthy & astounding....

Why does this channel add music?

[@JohnFelinn]

Those who seek to resolve the Israel-Palestine crisis through the UN and the ICJ are living in a fool's paradise. The only solution to this crisis is arms support to Palestine.

[@Steve-kr4td]

Weak argument around ICJ not intervening because they should be left to work it out themselves. Ignores power imbalance and active genocide

Shamefully this is what UK suggest: In short, the UK is challenging the ICJ to find facts but not imposing their findings to Isreal, due to none circumvention purposes. Therefore the bilateral issues shall be settled between the two nations, but not supported nor expressed illegally by the court if the findings suggest that, the UN general assembly shall prevail within their framework as we speak. Which indicates that one vote from US or UK is sufficient to veto any majority vote thereafter. Thus, the action chosen to be taken independently by Isreal is not ICJ’s business. Furthermore, the UK is challenging the court’s jurisdiction and shall reject the motion immediately.

The occupation is an atrocity.

China gave a really good explanation of why the icj should give their opinion.
