Top EU diplomat says EU has to choose between supporting Israel or rule of law - BBC News

The European Union's top diplomat says the bloc will have to make a choice between supporting international institutions and the rule of law.
Joseph Borrell was speaking after the UN’s highest court ruled that Israel had to halt its military offensive in Raffah, in response to a case brought by South Africa.
South Africa has accused Israel of violating the UN genocide convention in Gaza. Israel has said "no power on earth" will stop it going after Hamas.

1 learn what a genocide is. 2. the only genocide was what hamas did on ocytomber 7 and what they are keep trying from 48. genocide is about intention. not abiout what the leftist are sayiong to draw atention from useful idiots

[@joelmiller3218]

I don't think Israelis will come out of this "with shame". Sure there are plenty of great Israelis who don't support the genocide and want ceasefire and release of hostages but the vast majority, 70+ percent of the Israeli public supports the actions of their government wholeheartedly and are so brainwashed that they cannot possibly understand the grave situation their settler colony is in rn. And they won't have shame for what they did. Just like nazis after ww2.

An eminent panel of international judges are criticizing Israel based on the evidence and the law. Their distance is immaterial. And it doesn’t matter that Israelis don’t care what people think - it is not a popularity contest. There is a credible risk of genocide, and anyone with a conscience should take that extremely seriously. Genocide is not somehow valid if public opinion favours it. Do we really need to remind anyone about the 1940s?

[@kindGSL]

They believe genocide is valid because their religion favors it.

[@matromeo]

BS… what law? International law is just a set of practices and policies set in place that countries are obliged to follow. If a country chooses not to follow it, there is nothing this so called court can do to enforce it. So it’s not really a law if you can’t enforce. The left is trying to turn it into something powerful when it’s not. It’s been broken by many countries already and there is nothing they can do about it.
