ICJ Rules Against Zionist State

The ICJ has ruled in favour of South Africa, and against the Zionist state in Israel, engaged in genocide in Gaza.  Its important to distinguish between the Zionist state in Israel, and Israel itself, just as its important to distinguish between every capitalist state, and the people over which such a state presides, and the masses of which it oppresses.  The people of Israel are not identical to the Zionist state.  For one thing, 20% of them are Israeli Arabs, and not all of the Israeli Jews are themselves Zionists.  The ruling, however, is not just a ruling against the Zionist state, but against Zionists and apologists for Zionism everywhere, the majority of whom are themselves, also, not Jews.  In the US, for example, the majority are reactionary, Christian Zionists.

The ruling, coming on top of the ruling by the ICC, calling for arrest warrants against Netanyahu and Gallant, makes it a bad week not just for the Zionists, but also their imperialist sponsors in the US, such as Genocide Joe Biden.  Rather than demanding that the Zionists stop their genocide, Biden and the other leading lights of US imperialism doubled down on their support for the Zionist butchers, and instead turned their attack on the judges and staff at the ICC, more or less echoing Netanyahu's ridiculous claim that the ICC prosecutor and judges were guilty of "anti-semitism", the catch-all response to all criticism of Zionism, used by the Right from Margaret Hodge against Corbyn, to Gideon Falcher against the Metropolitan Police, and even Netanyahu against Biden, who was described by the Zionists as Hamas' friend!!!!

The ICJ is the instrument of the UN Security Council.  It has no power to enforce its rulings, and largely, those rulings have been ignored by the Zionist state, and will be again in this instance.  Only when rulings of the ICJ and the Security Council are against enemies of US imperialism is it ever likely that military force will be mobilised behind them to enforce them.  Numerous Security Council resolutions against the Zionist state have been ignored, even when the US has not vetoed them, because the Zionists state knows that the US will do nothing to enforce them, and were anyone else to seek to do so, as with the Houthis action to prevent war supplies through the Red Sea, the US would be quick to take action against them, irrespective of the resolutions and court rulings.

Its likely that Algeria, currently on the Security Council, will put a simple motion to it, demanding that the Zionist state comply with the ICJ ruling.  It should be difficult for the US to logically oppose or veto such a resolution.  But, it will likely do so, anyway.  It will first of all obfuscate, and seek to put numerous amendments to any such motion.  Even if it passes, and is not vetoed, the US will do nothing to enforce it.

The Zionist state will continue with its final solution against the Palestinians, and these rulings and resolutions will again demonstrate both the sham nature of bourgeois-democracy, its rule of law and international rules based system for what it is.
