Nawaf Salam is the Muslim Arab presiding the International Court of Justice of the UN. He is from Lebanon, a country ravaged by religious strife, and home to a huge terror group, Hezbollah. Salam and friends say it’s OK for Hamas to murder and rape Jews of all ages and conditions, just because they are Jews, and then that ideology of hate will be reverred by their supporters, worldwide (nevermind that Putin is behind it). But it is not OK for Israel, a democratic state, to fight back. We all got it: democracies should not fight back.
Why isn’t Salam ordering Hezbollah out of Lebanon or Hamas out of Gaza… or Putin out of Ukraine? Wait… Actually the ICJ ordered Russia to cease military operations in Ukraine, and found the allegations of genocide made by Russia against Ukraine “unsubtantiated”. HOWEVER, the ICJ ridiculously accused Israel of “genocide”… something it didn’t dare do against Russia… Curiously enough, as Russia was clear that it seeks the annihilation of Ukraine… a blatant case of the will to genocide.
Curious? Not that much: Hamas is very scary, Putin is very scary… But Israel? Not that much…
Hamas knew full well that the war was going to happen inside Gaza while Hamas was going to hide in the population. Hamas organized the massacre in Gaza. ICJ funding should be cut immediately.
Nazi Germany had people who dressed in robes and called themselves judges, too. But not just that. ‘It’s been our misfortune to have the wrong religion,” Hitler complained to his pet architect Albert Speer and others. “Why did it have to be Christianity, with its meekness and flabbiness?” Islam was a Männerreligion—a “religion of men”—and hygienic too, said Hitler. The “soldiers of Islam” received a warrior’s heaven, “a real earthly paradise” with “houris” and “wine flowing.” This, Hitler argued, was much more suited to the “Germanic temperament” than the “Jewish filth and priestly twaddle” of Christianity.
Hitler admired Ataturk and intended to duplicate his genocidal success. The Nazis lauded Turkey for having massacred and expelled its Armenians and Greeks. But not just that, the Armenian genocide showed to the Nazis that genocides could be safe and effective “Who,” Hitler asked in August 1939, “speaks today of the extermination of the Armenians?”
13 of 15 members of the International Court of Justice are for the destruction of Israel, the traditional anti-jewish stance. Asking Israel to give the victory to Hamas is to want the destruction of Israel and the extinction of Jews.
There’s no other way to look at it.
I sent the following comment to the WSJ, and it was rejected:”Your comment on “U.N. Court Orders Israel to Halt Some Military Operations in Rafah” violates the community guidelines and has been rejected.”Here it is:
Putin is allied to Iran whose puppets are Hamas, Hezbollah and the Houthis. Their allies are China, North Korea, and tentacular corruption networks throughout the West. One such network sending electronics to Russia was busted in France. The Houthis interrupted the Red Sea/Suez Canal route. Meanwhile, Putin has proclaimed his genocidal aim in Ukraine and is acting accordingly. The UN’s IJC and ICC have chosen that side of the world war, against democracy.
It is extremely troubling that these judges” profess a religion, Islam, full of threats, contempt, insults, and lethal admonitions against Jews. These judges are in the position of enacting their religious beliefs. The famous Hadiths (sayings and injunctions by Muhammad) declaring that all Jews must die before the Final Judgment constitute Article 7 of the Hamas Charter.
Accusing 7 million Israelis of the on-going genocide of half a billion Arabs is spectacularly unbalanced and what is called in rhetoric the “accusatory inversion”. It’s a well-known technique.
Israel, the aggressed democracy, can only stop the war after victory. Hamas can stop the war immediately after admitting defeat. Netanyahu has said the cabinet would consider exile for the Hamas leaders.So if there is a “genocide” it is the ongoing effort of Hamas, not Israel.

My comment was “rejected”, but I have zero idea why it should have been “rejected” as it was entirely composed of verifiable facts, and no specific assertion was mentioned. Article 7 of the Hamas Charter was one ingredient of my comment. Another ingredient was the way the Qur’an and Hadith evoke the Jews… Something that is easy to check. It is very troubling that facts get rejected.
That comment on my rejection was allowed for a few minutes. John R replied:
You ever heard of “freedom of speech”? … me either…I consider a rejection a badge of honor. It tells me that I’m close to the truth.

Whom I did not quote in the WSJ:

Naftali Bennett, who was the 13th Prime Minister of Israel, wrote on X that “The International Court of Justice just provided every terror organization on earth with THE PERFECT METHOD TO GET AWAY WITH MURDER.”
Following the ruling, a joint statement by the Israel’s National Security Council and Ministry of Foreign Affairs said Friday that Israel “has not carried out and will not carry out military activity in the Rafah area that creates living conditions that could lead to the destruction of the Palestinian civilian population.”
Antijudaism is the gift that keeps on giving an outlet to hate. The Jews are just out there, too bright, too influential, too domineering in the very conceptual foundation of love in the Christian sense, and with a fascist god which has proven too useful for power for two millennia. Striking the Jews has been a way to strike at an important ally of power. But power, the fascist power of the Middle Ages, also feared the Jews immensely, because the plutocrats rightly suspected the Jews could start a revolution. So Jews were dispersed just so, at low density… And loved by the population….Before the fascist feudal order, under the Merovingian and Carollingian Franks, anybody could become a Jew… But once the fascist plutocracy of feudalism imposed itself, it viewed Jews as both a threat and a way to create scapegoats… .
And Hitler in all that?
He loved to hate…
Many people do,
They just don’t know about it…
Why would the United Nations hate Israel? Because the world is not doing well. A case in point is South Africa, which increasingly resembles a shipwreck.(its GDP per capita is 25% less than at its peak 12 years ago). Diverging attention towards an object against which one can unleash accusations of genocide, as South Africa did against Israel, is most pleasant…it’s South Africa which launched the ICJ against Israel…
Anyway, all fun and games. Let the “judges” play, Nazi style. The fate of the world is now in the hands, not of silly, ethically challenged judges, but in the hands of generals.
