The consequences of the ICJ’s latest Israel ruling go beyond historic.

Israel has been ruled guilty of racial segregation & apartheid by the ICJ, has been ordered to leave Palestine and a lot more besides! Right, so it’s not often that I can begin a video by saying something truly historic has just happened, but the latest ruling by the International Court of Justice with regards to Israel and Palestine is truly seismic because every lousy excuse that Israel has given for it’s presence in Palestine, it’s conduct in the West Bank and in Gaza, have just been rendered null and void. Whilst the apartheid state of Israel and Netanyahu himself attack this decision, on the basis of their alleged religious entitlement to the land they occupy, despite being historically incorrect as that is, as signatories to the Geneva Conventions, to the UN Charter, as a UN member state, the law will decide what is true and right and just, and it has in no uncertain terms effectively said, get the hell out of Palestine, you don’t belong there, have no right to remain there a single day longer and then some on top of that besides. Right, so there aren’t many moments these days it seems when sanity prevails and that has certainly been the case when considering the mad, genocidal actions of Israel, not just since October 7th, but certainly that is when what they are really all about with regards to Palestine entered the public psyche. That ruling from the ICJ, a clip of which you just saw, does count as one of those moments though. It might surprise you to consider any kind of occupation as being legal, but under the terms of the Geneva Convention, this can be the case and the rules are clearly laid out governing that, what the occupying state can and cannot do and this has been the basis for Palestine being left under Israeli control since the after math of the 6 day war back in 1967. An occupying power must, as a signatory to the Geneva Conventions, in this case the fourth Geneva Convention, Article 49 which states that: ‘“The Occupying Power shall not deport or transfer parts of its own civilian population into the territory it occupies.” It also prohibits the “individual or mass forcible transfers, as well as deportations of protected persons from occupied territory”.’ This of course we know has been happening and happening for years, extensive use of land, in the West Bank as this applies to, where the West Bank has been divided up in to 3 areas, Areas, A, B and C, with only areas A & B under control of the Palestinian Authority. It’s not news that Israel have been illegally building settlements and displacing Palestinians, driving them from their land and their homes for years to make way for settlers and that this is something the settler movement, the likes of Nahala, want for Gaza too, to take over, already having drawn up plans for new settlements there. On top of that as I covered a few weeks ago, Israel’s hard right finance minister, with a foot in the door of the Israeli ministry of defence as he also has, Bezalel Smotrich, has procured new powers from the IDF in relation to the West Bank, where he himself lives as a settler, to build even more settlements there, announcing the other week plans to build another 5,300 homes for Israelis in Palestinian territory. ***Subscribe to the channel here*** ►ABOUT ME: Hi, I’m Damien Willey.
