@steve_zeke It may take a month before there is a ruling. That's time for lots of mischief and distractions, including creating a wider war (speaking of Yemen...). If they do face a possible order, they may do something cruel, like mass spread cluster munitions, which they have avoided only because it will also later make it harder to place future Jewish settlers there. Cruel genocidal people do cruel and genocidal things.

Steven Zekowski (steve_zeke@freeradical.zone)'s status on Friday, 12-Jan-2024 10:20:16 JST Steven Zekowski Another excellent summary of RSA's complaint against #Israel for the #genocide of #Palestinians in #gaza
https://jacobin.com/2024/01/south-africa-icj-isarel-gaza/What will Biden do if the #ICJ grants provisional order for Israel to cease all military action? (Which they will if there is any justice in the world.)
The US has done many things to erode its moral standing in the world. But will it defy its obligation as a signatory of the Genocide Convention to "prevent and punish genocide"? Will it cross that sharp line?
