Hi Steele,

I'll be very surprised if the International Court of
Justice in the Hague finds Israel guilty.

If the shoe was on the other foot - it would be a
different matter.

But we'll have to wait and see.

Yuyutsu,

Oh, you're still here.

Dear Foxy,

Yes, I am still here, in Australia - I have not travelled to visit my family in Israel and have not been kidnapped to Gaza either.

Netanyahu has said the he will ignore any guilty-of-genocide finding. But, unless the court knows nothing about the law, no such finding can be made. According to the UN Convention, Israel cannot possibly be guilty of genocide.

Ideology, emotionalism and wild claims don't figure when it comes to what is right.

The Guardian tells us that more than one in 3 Americans
believe Israel is committing genocide against Palestinians,
a poll published on Wednesday has found.

YouGov poll, states that roughly equal numbers of adults
believe Israel's military campaign against Palestinians
estimated to have killed more than 25,000 people since
7 Oct amounts to genocide.

It will be up to the Court in the Hague to decide if this
is the case. However the court of public opinion is not
pro Israel.

Forgot to mention. The ICJ has no enforcement powers anyway. It's a paper tiger, and a joke. The UN Security Council might make a bit of noise, but they are also a joke. Certainly not something Netanyahu will be frightened of, especially as Israel has been scrupulous about the rules of war - even against terrorists, who recognise no law.

Israel has been found to have broken international
laws and signed agreements. The world is watching.
