New Year Donation Drive: Global Research Is Committed to the “Unspoken Truth”

The ICJ ruling will have no effect on Israel’s ongoing genocide.
The US reacts precisely as I predicted: “No merit”, “No ceasefire”.
The US said the ICJ ruling was consistent with Washington’s view that Israel has the right to take action, in accordance with international law, to ensure the October 7 attack cannot be repeated.
“We continue to believe that allegations of genocide are unfounded and note the court did not make a finding about genocide or call for a ceasefire in its ruling and that it called for the unconditional, immediate release of all hostages being held by Hamas,” a State Department spokesperson said.
—Al Jazeera, January 26, 2024
Netanyahu calls the case “outrageous” —Ben-Gvir calls it “anti-Semitic” —and both Israeli and US media note happily that no ceasefire is mandated, only a postcard letter from Israel to greet the Hague in one month.
The anger of the World has been pacified for a while with the false celebration of a fake “victory” at the Hague. The US chief judge at ICJ must be laughing.
Israel’s genocide will continue while the US and its chief justice at the ICJ keep the world at bay for very long with new false words and delaying actions.
