In a highly anticipated ruling, the International Court of Justice at The Hague has found that there is a "real and imminent risk" that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza, and supported "at least some" of the provisional measures South Africa had requested when it brought the case in order to rein in Israel's military assault. Though the ruling falls short of calling for an immediate ceasefire, analysts say it is nevertheless a significant milestone. We discuss the "unprecedented" decision by the World Court with a panel of experts: Palestinian human rights attorney Diana Buttu, genocide scholar Raz Segal and scholar of colonialism Mahmood Mamdani. "It becomes imperative upon the world community to now act," says Buttu. "This is the beginning of a process of isolating Israel," adds Segal.

ICC tells SA and Palestinians to suck it - Israel continues to deliver justice and retribution for October 7th
Quotes will not end the war or even do a ceasefire.🤣
But releasing the hostages would have - The Palestinians have again overplayed their hand .@@noecadavona1862
What ever happened to "Never Again!" and what does "Never Again" evin mean?
The abused become the abuser
The ICJ should issue an order to arrest that war criminal, Netanyahu 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Without ceasefire this is not a measure. It’s a very sad and shameful world we live in.
It more complicated than that. Israel would never have listened to a ceasefire order. They would have carried on and it would undermine the court and create massive repercussions in the region. Now, the court has said SA is right and that there it is a plausible reason to believe that Israel is committing genocide. This means the case will go on, but Israel must not commit genocide. Israel is now officially and legally a Pariah state
@@eebehuurI agree they won’t listen but we still need ceasefire ruling against them officially.
USA has too much power and influence
@@mesozoicperiodvlogs8323The world community needs to impose sanctions on the state of Israel.

Disappointing. The rabid state will carry on its business as usual.
They will until the world community imposes sanctions on Israel.
It will certainly try. However the ruling was better than many people are characterizing it. This ruling is an order for _more_ than just a ceasefire. The technicality - of not being able to explicitly order a "ceasefire," because Palestine is not a recognized state, and therefore can't be included in that language - was *_overcome_* by ordering Israel to stop (and actively _avoid),_ "committing acts of genocide." That means a ceasefire *_AND_* cessation of starvation, cessation of water-deprivation, cessation of blocking of aide & supplies... it's an order to cease *EVERY* act of genocide. There's no cause to resign oneself to the worst possible outcome.
How can they order Isreal to take measures to avoid committing acts of genocide but then not order a ceasefire?
it’s implied -ordered to allow humanitarian aid, which can’t happen without cease fire.
not as good but there it is
Yes, that is my question. But I don't get the fact that so many of lawyers and historians fall prey to this ignorant, biased, and despicable decision...
I'm not an expert myself, but from what i heard from experts, their jurisdiction in this particular case is to stop the genocide, which technically do not need the war itself to be stopped.
They do not have the jurisdiction to stop Israel from pursuing hamas, but that can order Israel to do it in a way that does not cause a genocide.
@@shengloongtan229 If Israel really wanted to go after Hamas Israel and Netenyahu wouldnt have funded them in the first place, and even if lets say the IDF goal was to go after Hamas then you dont need the bombing, is called special OPs, bombing civilians indiscriminately because "Hamas might be there" is just an excuse for genocide, which is the actual goal of the Israel regime.
As Ali
Abunimah rightly states: "A "ceasefire" is what you
demand in an armed conflict. In a genocide you
demand an immediate end to all genocidal acts and
that is exactly what the ICJ ordered with immediate
effect. Please stop helping "Israel" spin its historic
defeat as a win."
The main point is "Please stop helping "Israel" spin
its historic defeat as a win.
It's imperative that we do not let them win this day,
but seeing this as a defeat. Read the courts orders
and rulings fully. Listen to South Africa's Foreign
Minister on the subject of a ceasefire - all of which I
have posted in detail for the last few hours.
As a diplomatic law scholar, you certainly don't have
to agree with me or others. But please take some
time to look at the analysis and the rulings and what
this actually means. I am truly urging you from the
bottom of my heart. I want NOTHING more than this
Genocide to end. NOTHING MORE. We have many
battles to now fight - the UN Security Council vote
actually getting Israel to even comply to the order of
the court. Please don't give them any more reasons
to defy this historic order.
The ICJ comes up short of a Ceasefire and Indicts itself.
A key question is will the US now stop enabling Israel to continue its genecidal campaign against Palestine.
Nah this ruling just earned Israel another couple of billion dollars
No
A 2 letter answer is NO 👍
The US and Israel are rogue states which do not adhere to international law.
Idk lastI heard Biden is set to send some more weapons to Israel 🤦🏽♀️
Thank you South Africa for at least trying 😌 May God bless all of you. Ameen
She is an insider in the US State Department and as a result it is watered down!
Truly said
"Stopped short of a ceasefire?!" Waste of time? (sigh)
Not at all!
They called for a ceasefire indirectly by ruling Israel must stop killing Palestinians and Israel must provide humanitary aid into Gaza these provisional measures are ongoing until the final ruling of the case is reached which may take years or months so it is an indirect ceasefire F.Y.I. Palestinians are getting an indirect a ceasefire without asking for a ceasefire as per the ruling.
Trying to be sensitive to them and the death tool just keep going on. They don't want the area go to war
@@troya3094 Fair enough, you're right.
Some people are way too focused on the fact that the court didn't order a ceasefire, _in those explicit terms,_ but this ruling is an order for _more_ than just a ceasefire. The technicality - of not being able to explicitly order a "ceasefire," because Palestine is not a recognized state, and therefore can't be included in that language - was *_overcome_* by ordering Israel to stop (and actively _avoid),_ "committing acts of genocide." That means a ceasefire *_AND_* cessation of starvation, cessation of water-deprivation, cessation of blocking of aide & supplies... it's an order to cease *EVERY* act of genocide. You give up way too easily. Quit quitting.
The international court of INJUSTICE SHAME ON YOU
God bless who helps the helpless people
Seasefire now 😢why not now?
Shame on USA
What ceasefire? - Joe😁
This is a complete failure.. The court should have ordered a ceasefire
Raytheon, Lockheed, Northrop Grumman, Blane International Group, and Global Military Products have so much more money to make, via Israeli IDF using their toys to target schools, refugee camps, and hospitals full of civilians.
Hamas hold 136 Israelis inside tunnels what ceasefire are you talking bout?
well why not? because they can't prove a genocide just that, is a war and in war people died
A totaal globel boycott on business related to Israel will have a bigger impact than a icj rulings
There should be no such thing as plausible genocide
Thank you South Africa 🙏
What a shame.. shameful international court in the failure to protect Palestinians.
Some people are focused on the fact that the court didn't order a ceasefire, in those explicit terms, but this ruling is an order for more than just a ceasefire. In my understanding, the technicality - of not being able to explicitly order a "ceasefire," because Palestine is not a recognized state, and therefore can't be included in that language - was *_overcome_* by ordering Israel to stop (and actively _avoid),_ "committing acts of genocide." That means a ceasefire *_AND_* cessation of starvation, deprivation of water, blocking of aide & supplies, and *EVERY* other means of commission.
Hypocrisy
The message is '' You can commit war crimes.''
ICJ's ruling is like asking Nazis to police themselves. Such a joke!! Humanity took a big L today.
US could abstain sending ammo otherwise: complicity
In 1999, under the pretext of preventing a genocide, for 3 months nonstop, the US bombarded Belgrade, a major European capital city; they even bombarded the Chinese embassy. Yet, when it comes to Israel? Tel Aviv enjoys not only complete impunity but also full support from the US and other western powers. Unfortunately.
True, but even 1999 it was a mistake.
It’s because their were different motives for Serbia
Asking Netanyahu to stop the genocide is like asking Hitler. He won't listen. Time for actions.
Thank you South Africa 🇵🇸🇵🇸
It's like they telling Isreal to go ahead and continue. This is so evil.
Much Love to the Beautiful South Africa!
ICJ ruled nothing, not a word more than the Convention's text, except a request for a report 😂
So nothing changed.
Do you think the IDF dogs care about "preventing genocide"?
There’s no justice in this world. The justice
is God’s hand. Very disappointed their ruling they are signaling Netanyahu can do anything without consequences.
They favour the controllers,,and the ruling just an eyewash

Thank you for your jornalism democracy now❤❤❤
Isn't it ironic that a nation peopled by genocide survivors descendants would perpetrate the same?
Slow process before any action. Meanwhile Israel seems to be doubling down on what's left of gaza 😢
Yeah I agree that it's going to help the plight of Palestinians globally
Prevent? Isn't that too late?
The court knows the Palestinians don't want a ceasefire.
now I understand why they continue their actions even they were prosecuted..
In the service of US UK and EU countries.... without immigrate ceasefire orders ICJ lost it's credibility
🇮🇳❤️🇵🇸❤️🇿🇦❤❤❤❤❤ May Allah save Palestinian and humanity all over the world 🌎 ❤
PHilOSOPHY
WHERE THE HERO DIES
PaulTeich©️10/31/23
Where the hero dies
A poem about a man who stands on a pulpit before the crowd, condemning violence, and confronting the lovelessness of the planet
He is in the way of those who think they should be heroes
Who are would be heroes?
And who have been manipulated by the powers that be to think they are doing the right thing
All conflicts end in negotiation
So the actual conflict of death and pain is actually only a business opportunity that the powers that be don’t want to pass up
Where the hero dies
Is about the man who stands on the pulpit, preaching peace and love, and my poetry save the world
And is killed by the onslaught of those who think they should be heroes of those who think they would be heroes
Of those would be heroes
Who have been brainwashed to think that killing a pacifist would be a good idea
Many think that Pontius Pilate was wrong
And perhaps Barbarus would’ve been a better choice
And another hero not a would be
not a should be
a told by someone else to be, but perhaps is also there, because they think God is on their side, the side of peace, the side of love, the side of poetry, the side of pacifism
That, perhaps God has never been on the same side of a conflict where are two opposite warring factions are the same. God is on their side.
George Carlin asked could someone be mistaken? Could someone be wasting their time? Could it be everyone
Where the hero dies it’s not in the plain shot down by the man who dropped the bomb
Where the hero dies is not behind the gun, and a fox sending out projectiles for a mile that’s bullets by the way
Where the hero dies is not on the battlefield
We have been misled
Where the hero dies is the pulpit, where the man who preaches peace has been trampled by the soldier who has been manipulated to think that God is on their side
The next preacher of peace takes the pulpit and hunkers down to save the world
At the same time, the misguided soldiers, who are simply making money for the man and increasing stock prices and dividends, for the man, are manning up to kill anyone, weaker than them, instead of hunkering down to save the world
Where the hero dies is where the person who has hunkered down to save the world, is trampled and murdered by those who have been manipulated and brainwashed to think that they should hate the sin and kill the sinner, and that is a very man up thing to do
They could also hunker down to hate the sin, but love the sinner, and worship the dove of peace instead of the eagle of war
Where the hero dies Is where the philosopher statesman who hunkers down to preach peace and love is factually shot to keep the profits up by people who don’t actually know why they’re shooting
When politics becomes the shadow cast by Big business over the bewildered herd
Profit, less peace, replaced by raining war on our heads to increase next quarters profits dividends and stock price
On the 7th, it is crucial to understand that there were no direct attacks on civilians, only collateral damage. Out of the 1148 total names, 403 were military personnel, 59 belonged to the police, and 668 were civilians.
The collateral damage on the 7th was significantly lower than any of the ITf "mowing" operations, which had a ratio of 6:1. When including all casualties, not just deaths, the collateral damage ratio of the "mowing" operations is a staggering 162:1.
On the 7th, with 462 military personnel out of 1148 total, the ratio of civilians to military personnel was a mere 1.6:1,
which is a hundred times lower than the 162:1 ratio of the "mowing" operations based on analyzing UN OHC data from 2008 to 2022.
A 162 :1 ratio means that for every 162 civillians, 1 military personnel is a casualty. The 7th had a ratio of 1.6:1, a hundred times lower.
The reported ages of the victims are as follows:
0-4: 2 civilians
5-12: 8 civilians
13-17: 14 civilians
18-25: 132 civilians
26-40: 119 civilians
41-60: 55 civilians
61+: 40 civilians
Active duty military personnel:
18-25: 258 active duty military personnel
26-40: 60 active duty military personnel
41-60: 17 active duty military personnel
61+: 1 active duty military personnel
From haaretz datasheet titled title: xsraxl's Dead: The Names of Those Killed in Hxmxs Attacks, Mxssxcres and the xsrxel-Hxmxs Wxr
462 were military personnel, including 55 soldiers, 13 privates, 59 corporals, 200 sergeants (45 of whom were sergeant majors), 48 commanders, 32 lieutenants, 5 lieutenant colonels, 6 colonels, 37 officers, 10 inspectors, 6 intendents, and 2 Lance Corp.
There is a more detailed report of of oct 7th titled "I scrapped the information about 1096 of the 1460 killed on 7th of October Attack. Children Less than 1%"
Wrote it 2 months ago hence numerical discrepancy as it was reported to had been 1500 back then and not just 1148 as it is now.
civilians were taken to have swaps. An excess of ten thousands held without charge, all before the seventh
-Yocheved Lifshitz account - 'they treated us well'
-Yasmin Porat account - 'i.T.f kxilled my husband'
In the Tantura (2022) documentary there is a iTf man who says that they took a pregnant woman, made bets whether the baby is a boy or a girl, disemboweled and cut her stomach open to check who won, another one talking about school children who were raising their the hands, the same way kids do in a classroom, after he rounded them up. He then kept firing. Both laughing merrily and casually at the recollection. In another documentary '1948: Creation & Catastrophe', a survivor speaks about women getting violated infront of their family members by iTf. She was a child at the time and still wept as an elderly woman. For more recent atrocities, "Breaking the Silence" record statements by the iTf themselves, they recount the events witht he same casualty their forebears do.
The Costs of War study by Brown University in 2021 about past 20 years of engagement of US policy concluded withthese figures: indirect deaths 4.5-4.7 million, direct 905-940,000 , in other words 6 million deaths and 38 million displaced. This is relevant because of the Oded Yinon Plan.
I'd like to thank you for your effort.
Important research. 👍
Bravo. The only accurate report that has been allowed by "TheirTube" censor bot. And always worth repeating. I assume the "T" stands for terrorist.
So unfair. But I am not surprised they being planning for years, and we just woke up now.
How exactly can they prevent what they have already done?This is just a sham.
This ICJ ruling gives countries and peoples the authoritative backing to take direct action, such as seizing weapon shipments headed for Israel's IDF. It also makes it more difficult for governments and institutions to justify banning BDS and pro-Palestinian protests. And it places pressure on governments supporting Israel in its assault on Gaza and/or doing business with it in general to reconsider and change course for fear of becoming permanently associated with a highly visible genocide if not legally liable as an accessory to a genocide.
Great comment!
Who is paying Donohue? We knew this was going to happen
How can they prevent a genocide thats already happen?
It like judging daylight and calling night!
Thank you South Africa!
Thank you for sharing this!
How can you apply the court ruling without a ceasfire? Its simply impossible.
One small step for man, one giant leap for humanity and civilization
Bravo IFC
😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
Yet, no ceasefire?!!!
Watch the video, they explained it couldn't but it essentially did in all but name.
Benjamin Nosferatu🩸🩸🩸🩸 should be in Jail.
We decided that they appear to be committing genocide yet we're not going to tell them to stop. 😢
A historic ruling. May the most powerful states of the membership organization do the right thing in encouraging the enforcement of a just, rules-based, humanitarian order.
The female palestinian lawyer is so correct in her statement. The fact that it took 112 days for an international criminal court to call it genocide says how broken that system is.
Toothless justice in dribs and drabs!
this positive verdict with South Africa will lead to more political pressure and further lawsuits against Israel if they dont comply. eventually there would be enough political will to force Israel to finally stop.
God's LAW (love and wisdom) prevail ❤️🙏RW
All these people, this crowd of judges of this impotent court, draw salaries throughout the year? Can just anyone be appointed?
Is there a need for research on the issue that Israel committed a great genocide in Palestine? We all know that for 75 years, the people of Palestine have suffered the worst and most terrible pains in history from a very racist and arrogant regime, Israel's brutality in Palestine is unlike anything we have heard or seen, it is much worse than we can imagines
The ruling seems a bit like too little,too late. Even if they had called for a ceasefire, would Israel have complied; and what would be the penalty if they refused? Secondly, a full ceasefire would equally require Hamas refraining from attacking Israel in order for any meaningful resolution to be reached. The ruling isn't sufficient but, it seems reasonable given the juncture we are currently at.
“Never forget….never forget the world owes us. Now it must turn another blind eye so the cycle of inhumanity can continue. Any word uttered against our country’s genocidal mission is racist because we equivocate nationality and politics with the religion and ethnicity of our majority.”
Exactly Mahmood Mamdani. Everything the court ordered amounts to the requirement of a ceasefire.
What a useless order
It’s a court that has no teeth. Each country rules itself.
Explain plausible risk and jurisdiction to a child “human shield” facing death in Gaza. I’m appalled.
The entire matter of the International Court was already decided and anyway the International Court has no standing in front of Israel.
Saying that Israel can continue the war but that they can't continue the killing is exactly how Shylock was dealt with - he could claim his pound of flesh, but only if he didn't spill blood
This is so wrong. The ANC do not represent million of other South Africans
Excellent discussion, thanks.
The question is how much money did the Ugandan judge get from Israeli proxies?
no cease fire? no sense!!
Plausible!
thanks justice.
FREE THE HOSTAGES
For someone's learning of abusive learning ways
Ordering a ceasefire would make the court look impotent.
For all the legal language illiterates here. This language, this provision, is saying to stop the killing, starving, and stopping the loss of life, ect. So in your terms is considered a cease fire. Alhamdullilah.
String up Naziyahu. How TF can they not call for a ceasefire? HOW!?
And why not ceasefire? Shame on ICJ.
Listen to Mamdani at the end...stop sending ammmunition!
4:17 "plausibly" was not what they hoped for
One small step for man, one giant leap for humanity. SOUTH AFRICA IS HUMANITY'S SUPERPOWER. ISRAEL PLEASE COMPLY.
No cease-fire; peace keepers?
The Palestinians were hoping for more, much more- and the got nothing.
The word "cessation" did not appear in the ICJ's judgment.
No serious resolution upon Israel that requires it to stop its military operation.
Israel can go on, and the Palestinians will not come back to their homes.
You can't prevent what has already happened!😡😡😡😡🙏
Free Palestine
What a milquetoast ruling.
"Believable. Anyways, continue."
Cool. Cool cool cool. Shitstains.
I don't suppose the ICJ could dare upset the military industrial complex by ordering an immediate ceasefire. They might have found their lives in danger mafia style. At least they have found a plausible risk, they could hardly do other. Give the arms industry time to set up their next money spinner. Watch that space. Hope that's not too realistic for the audience.
End War!
Powerful international court justice south Africa United nations
Also please do a deeper dive on the Ugandan judge
The ICJ proved to the world that no international organisation is valid so far
This is a soft judgement. How can you say genocide and not order ceast fire
Only Sadden Mothers, Grieving widows and Starving children Know.
Conscience collides with vengeance; No one knows where it has lost.
Peace or war; conflicts or reconciles; A bogging mind catches wild thoughts.
Terrorists and conquerors are all haunting wolves. Only helpless innocent people hurt.
Violence brings forth violence and hatred grows hatred.
Thousands of years gone and yet humans have never learned!
How many in a battle can return? How many families are shattered?
How many tiny tots died young? How many broken hearts and limbs?
A life is a life and a death is a death. It knows no nation and culture.
All created equal. How dare you say your life is more precious than others?
A brave medal is but a worthless franchise to kill?
Is it an honor to kill or an honor to save?
A war for what price? Only sadden mothers, grieving widows and starving children know.

Don’t tell me about the aspects of war or cease fire without releasing all the remaining hostages…….which was also ordered by the ICJ…
This is only the International court of justice ICJ the ICC international criminal court is where it has more relevance but that still right now does not help the people of Palestine remember this is the Hague and this is a start of proceedings thank you to South Africa for pushing it now
Alto al fuego ya !! No más palabras palabras palabras ( Señores jueces: ustedes mismos hablan de "daños irreparables")
Nothing will change. Pretty weak ruling.
So where are the arrest warrants for the Israeli criminals responsible? They were quick enough to issue them against Russia. Russia also got sanctions against them. Where are those in this case?
But genocide is already committed. The court has not made any enforcement orders or for a ceasefire, they simply reiterated whether it fell in line with the convention and agreed with some of SA claims.
Weak Verdict.
I don’t understand where is humanity?! Why is it so hard to tell what is what. Stop going around direct verdict
What is genocide is mean ICJ?
