*“The biggest insult to the memory of the Holocaust is not denying it but using it to commit genocide against the Palestinian people.”* *- Norman Finkelstein*

Israel will ignore it and the Us will cover for the in the UN.

Einstein said : The problem is not the evil in the world. The problem is that we let it happen

The court is asking Israel to prevent doing what they've already done.

Thank you jews, muslims, christians, athieist etc. etc (basically the humanity) to stand up for what is right. We need to continue our efforts and make sure genocide happens NEVER AGAIN.

There is a sanction on Israel shipping by the Houthi. But the US and UK are saying that they are a terrorist organization. Who is upholding international law and who are supporting continuation of genocide?

May humanity and basic decency be restored as soon as possible. Thank you to the ICJ, to South Africa and to Democracy Now.

The older I get the less I understand this horrrible world we live in

So long as Bibi enjoys 100% support from the US media and government they can do what they want with no repercussions.

Some of the strongest voices speaking against the injustice in Palestine have been Jewish to include Raz Segal, Ilan Pappe, Norman Finkelstein, Sam Seder and Gideon Levy. Kudos to all and apologies to the names I have forgotten to recognize.

Love you Amy! I worked with Bonnie Faulkner on Guns N' Butter at KPFA back in the late 90's. She turned me on to your program. You have stayed hard and true to your craft and still doing great journalism. You are an American treasure and a voice for the world.

I believe that in the future history will remember this period as one of the dark ones in which many, indeed too many, pretended not to know and became complicit.

Respect Raz Segal for his professionalism and objectivity.

IDF targeted a UN refugee camp just the day before ICJ's ruling, for goodness' sake. With ICJ's overwhelming ruling, it will be interesting to see how this plays out.

Enough of empty Words ...WE NEED ACTIONS RIGHT NOW!!!...........thank you Democracy Now you are the best !

My tax money is not for Weapons that kill the innocent! DISGRACEFULL!

As a Palestinian, I don't seek revenge, only my rights to be free in my country, peaceful Jew's are also welcome, no Zionists. Nevertheless, if those Zionists don't respect the court's orders today, how do you expect me to respect the same rules when time comes?

This is a very important ruling. It gives the US less credibility when they claim they have no power to end this abhorrent cleansing of Gaza.

I don't see why anyone would take pride in murdering women and children and again claim self defense How evil can that be?🤔

The ICJ, like any other court, has no real power without an executor of its will. The executor is the US, and they say no.

Amy, you read my mind. Netanyahu claims that there is no one that can regulate his behavior but his government enlisted and sent a whole team of lawyers etc. to the Hague to represent Israel. That's insight into his usage of intimidatory language to manipulate and fear monger those who oppose his genocidal intentions and actions. If he was truly unconcerned he wouldn't have shown up.

What a wonderfully balanced panel. An anti-Israeli Palestinian, and an anti-Israeli Israeli. It’s good to know that you are so intent on providing diverse viewpoints.

On May 14, 1948, Israeli commandos, armed by British, held positions along roads leading from Jerusalem to the sea. they awaited orders,...when Ben Gurion announced that the British mandate was over and the UN voted to accept the state of Israel., they climbed assigned trucks and the killing of Palestinian people living in coastal fishing towns began. They called it "war of independence". Bulldozers were used to bury and mask the graves in orchards, fields and streets of what would become Beach resorts. The bones of those Palestinians are still found by workers repairing or expanding parking lots or gardens on what used to be fishing towns. Golda Meir wrote: "“It was not as if there was a Palestinian people in Palestine and we came and threw them out and took their country away from them. They did not exist.”" in an attempt to erase history while unmasking herself because if there were not Palestinian people...what was the independence war about?

So proud of Stockton University for providing tenure to independent thinking!!!

Thank you Democracy now for helping fight for justice 🙏

The real question is: Can the US ignore World Court's Order!

It’s not a matter of “can they?”, it’s a matter of “what will the UN do when they ARE ignored?”.

The EU has a trade deal with Israel which includes that human rights have to be respected. In 2006 Sweden put forward a motion to temporaly hold the trade agreement because Israel violated international law in Gaza- sadly nothing did come of it. They must do it now!!! The EU put sanctions for Russia in place in 5 Minutes, Israel is long overdue!

- Netanyahu let the attack happen on his own country, despite knowing about the attack 3 days before it happened. - Music festival was organised with lot of foreigners just 3 miles away from the border. On whose order? - Music festival was extended by one day as the attack did not happen when it was thought to happen. On whose order? - Noticing that music festival casualty were less, used IDF to increase the casualties in the music festival. On whose order?

Sadly, Israel can because no one can really stop it. The party who could make the most impact in doing so (USA) will continue to give Israel military aid and diplomatic cover.

Finally! after 75 years justice prevailed for the first time and the world welcomes that.

There is always hope when there are honest people like Raz Segal - telling the truth !!!!

The most important thing was the ruling that S. Africa's claim that Israel is engaging in Genocide is "Plausible." The Court has essentially put Israel under Court Supervision for the alleged crime of Genocide. It did not reject S. Africa's claim as "meritless" or "without foundation" as the Western Powers, America & Germany claimed. Israel has to report back to the ICJ in 30 days on effective measures to prevent Genocide.

what is there to ignore? the icj hasn’t done anything basically saying « yes we can see there’s genocide but you can keep going as long as u don’t cross the red line and after 1 month of continuing your carnage you can come back to us and show us you TRIED to avoid a genocide and we ll let u go with a tap on the back ».

I can’t believe one country can bully in such way that no one can come forward to save such suffering of humans

Thank you all specially professor Segal 🙏 ❤️ 🙌

Overwhelming majority even from US Judges. SA makes Africa proud!

I salute you Amy for your good works

Notwithstanding the ruling of the ICJ, the Israeli authorities do not seem to understand that war criminals should be afforded an all-expenses paid trip to the International Criminal Court in the Hague. Netanyahu should join them there.

Thank You All for all the information. I love your work. ❤️ 🕊️

So the decision was the same as what US and EU says, that it would be nice if Israel would abide with international law. Basically, lip service.

Sadly, my grim assumption on that is that they will probably somewhat "stop" in Gaza, and transfer the genocide focus to the West Bank, or Lebanon. They've seen blood, now they lust for it.

Thank you Judge , for sharing this on your HF platform. This is a critical time for the world .

What authority does this court have over any nation? None.

Of course Israel is going to ignore it and they know they can because they have the backings of a superpower. The United States

Can Israelis ignore the court. Yes, they have ignored anything which critizises them for years, they are the "entitled", at least they believe they are.

Thank you so much for this video. It was very beneficial. Keep up the Great Work! Much appreciated!

“Genocide is intention and execution”

The real tragedy is that the court has allowed a one month timeline. Is that not the same as impunity? Everyone including their dog knows Israel will not stop! The ICJ has give them a one month license to continue.

If Israel doesn't abide by the provisions, ICJ can make an application to a higher UN authority to block US veto so the provisions are met by Israel. It is a binding agreement that Israel has committed to follow as it is a member of the ICJ organisation.

Why should Isriael not be called as a teirroirist, for what they did and are still doing? Especially, for 10,000 children killed, 250 schools destroyed and 110 journalists killed.

No ceasefire? Useless.

The ICJ ordered Hamas to unconditionally release the hostages. Does anyone think that Hamas or any Palestinians will comply?

Excellent guests Amy ! Fantastic reporting !

Hypocrisy

This matters so much.... It's a first step of the Global South standing up and demanding that the international institutions hold the Global North accountable to the same standards. Israel will be the undoing of the the Global North.... The strategic partners can no longer pretend that the conditions Israel is creating with their support is deniable and they can and will be complicit..... There is nowhere to hide. The other countries of the Global South have a precedent as they approach the ICC....

I would like to remind everyone that while tRUmP is wrong about Palestinians celebrating 9/11 in New Jersey; they were on the streets in Gaza and the West Bank. Iranians went on the street sympathizing with America.

This hearing was not about judging Israel as guilty of Genocide. We already know they are. It was about confirming they have a case of Genocide to answer and that was confirmed with the reiteration of the compelling evidence summarized by the head judge. In the meantime it is irrelevant whether they abide by the courts provisional orders which we know wont be adhered to. The International community in solidarity with Palestine continues to grow massively as part of the beginning of the end of 75 years of atrocities and is now in full swing towards bringing this criminal, rogue, colonial Zionist project to an end. The Zionist propaganda machine has become a hard sell and rendered virtually obsolete to the majority.

Does Amy Goodman read these comments? I hope so. I just wanted to give her kudos on her remarkable career. It's been a long time since we were both aspiring journalists in our high school publication, "The Maroon Echo". Mr. Nash and Mrs. Myerson were our faculty advisors, and Nash told me once that Amy had a bright future in journalism. Sometimes they get it right. I never had Amy's talent and wound up playing poker. I'm proud of your accomplishments Amy!

I have great respect for South Africa and the independent media. Their tireless efforts have yielded success, in my opinion, as a member of the global community who values liberty and justice for all. Their commitment to these values is truly commendable.

This ruling is essentially repeating what the Biden administration has already stated: Israel must comply with the international law and let humanitarian help into Gaza. The ruling highlights the risk of genocide but apparently for the court there was not enough evidence yet to rule on that, instead the ruling on genocide will take years. In the meantime Israel must provide monthly reports on its war activities. The ruling sounds very lenient and trustworthy of Israel, giving it plenty of time to change the genocide narrative and asking Israel, the potential genocide perpetrator, to provide evidence of its own potential acts of genocide. Despite the ruling, this court case is historical and helps drawing support to Palestine from the global public, which will be eventually the true judge of what is happening in Gaza. Thank you South Africa for such an incredible fight for justice.

Why was Professor Mamdani cut from the video? Can youbpls publish a full video of the discussion?

This should show every Muslim that turning to other means will not help us. We must support each other to protect each other.

When I lived in Peru the president at the time, Fujimori, cracked down on local terrorist groups so hard that he ended up getting a life sentence for crimes against humanity. Anyways, thats the only time I can recall the world court ever actually having a successful prosecution and conviction and sentencing of anybody in cases like this.

Of course they are, just say it , we can all see it!

Thank you Great South Africa.😮😮😮😮

As the first guest said, if Israel does not respect the decision of the International Court of Justice, the next step will be sanctions. This time, Israel finds itself in a dire situation. Now our voices can bring real change.

The ICJ ruling very disappointing ; it could have done more to protect the people of Gaza. It should have ordered an immediate cessation of the war

Diana Buttu you are very well informed and factual

Why not, the court is a toothless exercise in futility.

BOYCOTT ISR@EL

How can Israel claim to respect international law? Israel had already cumulatively violated 28 legally binding resolutions of the UN Security Council.

Uganda FO reacted astonishingly fast after discovering Judge Julia Sebutinde wild vote.

The UK isn't that clean either

I didn't expect the 15-2 vote. I thought it would be 8-7

A lot of respect for Mr Segal for standing up for what is right and being able to be objective when it comes to the matter

The ruling of the International Court of Justice (ICJ) is effectively calling for a ceasefire because it mandates actions that inherently require a cessation of hostilities and aggressive actions. The key elements of the ruling include: 1. Prevention of Genocide Acts: The ICJ orders Israel to prevent acts that could be considered as genocide against Palestinians in Gaza. This includes stopping killings, serious bodily or mental harm, and other acts that could lead to the destruction of Palestinians. This direction fundamentally requires an end to violent actions, which is a core aspect of a ceasefire. 2. Immediate Cessation of Specified Military Acts: The order for the Israeli military to not commit any acts described in the first point (such as killing or causing harm to members of the Palestinian group) is directly aligned with the principles of a ceasefire. It requires stopping aggressive military operations. 3. Prevention and Punishment of Incitement to Genocide: By mandating Israel to prevent public incitement to commit genocide, the ruling aims to reduce tensions and hostilities, which is consistent with the objectives of a ceasefire. 4. Provision of Humanitarian Assistance: The directive to facilitate the provision of basic services and humanitarian assistance implies creating a peaceful and secure environment for these activities. In conflict zones, such humanitarian efforts are often facilitated by ceasefires. 5. Preservation of Evidence: The requirement to preserve evidence related to allegations of genocide acts suggests a halt in actions that could lead to the destruction of such evidence, implying a reduction in conflict-related activities. 6. Reporting on Measures Taken: The demand for Israel to report on measures taken to implement the order adds a layer of accountability and monitoring, which often accompanies ceasefire agreements. Overall, while the ruling does not explicitly use the term "ceasefire," the measures it prescribes are aimed at reducing violence, ensuring safety, and facilitating humanitarian efforts, all of which are in line with the objectives of a ceasefire.

Always above the law

It is revealing that of the two that opposed this dreadful accusation, Uganda was the only Justice to see through the dreadful State of South Africa's case. A Government and Country that is in dreadful trouble and corruption. Democracy Now means kick out the case!

"Surely there is a future and your hope will not be cut short." I feel this ruling is significant and the number of votes in favor of this ruling significant as well. As are all the other cases involved, checking the American governments complicity in the situation. There is hope and hopefully this is a light shining through the darkest times I've seen in my days. May God be with all who stood for a people who are barely able to stand for themselves under the horror they have found themselves enduring after years of oppression and sorrows. May God be with them. I ask this in Jesus name, Amen.

Segal goes on Al Jazeera two days ago, and predicts today's verdict to be a "game changer". Nice.

Me Raz, thank you for your analysis- very impartial and professional

"NO BIG DEAL" americans use to say, it's just innocent people that is suffering and dies. It has been "normal" state of mind in most of US politicians and militaries minds.

Amy your contribution for justice is beyond my capasity to handle, i love to give you hug, just to show respect but i dont know where you live but got my respect 🙏

Just imagine the reparations that will have to be paid.

Thanks for this and the information about the Oakland, CA, court case happening today.

Half a loaf but not the whole loaf. That's what this decision is. It's not helpful and it's not clear enough. What exactly would the court call genocide? Does every single last Palestinian have to die and every single burial be dug up before genocide is finally fully acknowledged?

SA did not and could request a ceasefire as it is not a party to the conflict. The original request was for halting military activities and protecting civilians. Ordering a ceasefire is the prerogative of the security council and not the ICJ. The original demands by South Africa are articulated on page 82 of their submission before the ICJ. Ryme Katkhouda

They want to give Netanyahu the Nobel Peace prize.

Shame on you ICJ, what is your point of your existence?

FREE PALESTINE

Does NOBODY remember October 7, 2023???

They're blatantly ignoring the court.

It will also be interesting who has access to or benefits from the new gas fields off the coast of Gaza and who the contracts go to for rebuilding Gaza

How sad that power and money can demolish humanity. South Africa suffered and struggled for years under colonialism but they did rise. Let’s hope the same for the Palestinian people.

The icj disappointed us by not ceasing fire

Golden rule 1076 It is so good to mention those Israelis who has called out and still raising their voices at the injustices being committed by the Israelis to the Palestinians and so sad that there are those who see things so one sided and so passionate about it behaving like mad men and women

The court ruled that Israel must take steps to prevent a genocide. It did not order a ceasefire. It did not use the word “desist” which would imply the court thinks there’s an active genocide going on in Gaza. So as long as Israel takes steps to prevent its war from going Genocidal, Israel is in the clear it seems.

The question is for Hamas. Are they returning the hostages?
