someone in the tags on one of my posts about the ICJ case said "this is all a farce," and I agree that the ICJ is enmeshed with western imperialism and that the UN doesn't seem to be capable of much beyond political theater, but I think dismissing the entire case is incredibly disrespectful to South Africa's legal team, and to the Palestinians they're intervening on behalf of, who have a right to have their oppressors charged in every single court with jurisdiction, regardless of how we feel about those courts. the UN itself may be a joke but I didn't see anything farcical about the way South Africa's team presented their case. this trial is unprecedented in the history of the Palestinian liberation struggle and regardless of how the court rules, it's going to expose both the incontrovertible proof of genocide and the failure of western legal and governmental bodies to prevent it, and that will have repercussions
