   Today's decision by the ICJ is a bit disappointing, given that it stops short of calling for a ceasefire. In any case, we need to keep putting diplomatic pressure on Israel to halt the genocide in #Gaza #freepalestine

     @chrismarkevich it requires the government and army of Israel to stop killing, injuring, and starving Palestinians.

     @chrismarkevich I saw that, yes. I hope the statements from Prime Minister Netanyahu and the Kahanist security minister Ben-Gvir do not reflect the opinions and intentions of everyday Israelis. I do not envy the officers and soldiers on the ground, who now must make the very difficult decision to disobey their illegal orders to contravene the convention on genocide. I hope they make the right decision.

     @evan Israel has already said it will not abide by the court's ruling.

     @chrismarkevich The rest of us on the planet need to decide how we will stop Israel from continued acts of genocide.

     @chrismarkevich I don't think it's helpful to spread the incorrect information that Israel has only mild requirements under this ruling.

     @evan With respect, I did not say that Israel has only mild requirements. I am personally disappointed that the ruling does not include a call for a ceasefire.
