    Not just Israel, all the countries that defunded the humanitarian aid.

    The article at least mentions that even though the order didn’t demand ceasefire, it practically did very explicitly:

    The State of Israel shall … desist from the commission of any and all acts within the scope of Article II of the Convention, in particular:

    (a) killing members of the group;

    (b) causing serious bodily or mental harm to the members of the group

    Many western media had the headline “no ceasefire ordered” which made the order sound like it was nothing. The western media too is complicit in atrocity.

      For the sake of profit they will light the spark that burns down the world and then blame us for forcing them to do it.

      I think many of the people in Palestine felt betrayed that they did not use the words cease fire. When faced with this existential crisis, nothing less is acceptable.

      The icj used language that practically meant cease fire, but mid east news expressed disappointment.

      So I guess the point I’m trying to make is that you’re admonishing “Western” media, but if that was the perspective you heard - No cease fire was called for - it probably accurately represents the sentiment of many of the people there.

      The South Africans understood what the icj said, and their comments immediately following the decision illustrated that.

        You could be right but the way the media here works is that they do report the facts but bias them. The headline sets the tone, and how the article is written makes it more likely to come to one conclusion. So it would take much more work to make my point. But I’m pretty sure: Even if they do technically report the facts there is a huge bias to manipulate the population in the “free” press.

        In this case something like “ooohh too bad the court didn’t give the arabs what they wanted poor guys!” while it really was a legal victory - the court specifically ordered them to stop killing of palestinians.

        I can’t read newspapers without getting super angry lol

      Countries de-funded UNRWA because they had people on their payroll that participated in actual genocide on October 7.

      Many countries have switched to providing aid through alternative channels.

      Really Guterres should resign, because how can an investigation of the UNRWA be trusted when it’s in the best interests of the UN Secretary General to prove it didn’t happen to avoid responsibility?

      At this point the UN is just becoming less and less of a factor in the conflict because of their failures in leadership. I mean trying to make excuses for October 7, then not even apologizing when there’s a valid complaint about it. The UN is failing at diplomacy 101. The UN failed to properly vet the people they have working for them. If people on the UN payroll committed genocide, how seriously can we take claims coming from the UN about genocide?

      We really need the UN be a part of a potential future peace in Gaza, but the UN is continuously failing in every possible way in regards to Gaza. There needs to be serious changes at the UN. There’s a need for an impartial diplomatic organization in the world, and the UN in it’s current form simply isn’t capable of being that.

        Why are you lying? There is zero evidence provided that any UNRWA member participated in the attack.

        The “evidence” that was provided by israel was proven fake by Sky News and Channel4.
