Hope this is the beginning of Israel's transformation into an isolated and boycotted rogue state.

[–] FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world 22 points 10 months ago (1 children)

It's a nice thought, but until US policy changes, Israel is bulletproof.

[–] Mrkawfee@lemmy.world 12 points 10 months ago (1 children)

You're right. Given demographic changes in the US, I do think it's only a matter of time before most Americans consider Israel to be an albatross around their necks.

I've disliked Israel govt for decades. Fuck Bibi and the IDF.

Oh fuck off, Israel and their global backers are continuing their century-long campaign to take Palestine and remove/kill Palestinians. Hamas is just a recent development which happens to neatly justify this period of Israeli colonial violence.

After Hamas runs its course (however that ends up happening), then do you think Israel will back off? Of course not and the idea is preposterous.

The same world court created after the holocaust — an institution conceived of and supported by the Nuremberg prosecutor, also a Jew.

This is a great joke .... but the fact that people are actually debating this perception of Israel should make people stop and think.

[–] Cocodapuf@lemmy.world 33 points 10 months ago (10 children)

The USA could. By by ending the free weapons and money deliveries...

I mean, we probably won't, for reasons I don't understand.

Can't kick start the rapture without the jews in jerusalem

They'll look to daddy USA and nothing will happen.

[–] SexyTimeSasquatch@lemmy.world 37 points 10 months ago (1 children)

The world court can do two things. First, arbitrate between two consenting states who agree to abide by the decision. Second, issue advisory rulings which have absolutely no functional authority. America doesn't have to step in. Nation states around the world wouldn't have signed onto a world court that could actually compel them to obey, we all like our sovereignty.

[–] Kecessa@sh.itjust.works 10 points 10 months ago

Which is ironic because as citizens of these countries we don't get that choice regarding the laws we're compelled to obey.

I think the US is about done with Netanyahu. The media is already starting to talk about the fractures between him and Biden.

What can the judge do? Invade them?

[–] Gradually_Adjusting@lemmy.world 7 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Ultimately nothing concrete. Presently.

I guess Israel doesn't let religion get in the way of its politics.

[–] AnneBonny@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 10 months ago

I would like to see him proven wrong.

[–] negativeyoda@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago

... and when you've got the US in your back pocket they let you do it. You can do anything

[–] Zuberi@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 10 months ago (17 children)

America will soon face a strong reckoning for how much they fucked around. Time to find out.
