The ICJ delivered an order against Israel in the South Africa v. Israel case. Although the ICJ did not call for a ceasefire (like they did against Russia in 2022) or prosecute Israel under the genocide convention, The ICJ has specifically named members of the Israeli government who have spoken openly using genocidal statements and have asked them to cease genocidal actions and report back within 30 days.1
White House being charged with complicity and aiding and abetting a potential genocide…
This order is relatively lackluster, especially considering the ICJ’s immediate condemnation against Russia in 2022. Still, it does call attention to what’s happening in Gaza outside of the Western media ecosystem. The order that was delivered from the ICJ to Israel has had immediate ramifications for the White House and its allies in the Israeli Government. There is now an additional federal case against Joe Biden and the entire White House being charged with complicity and aiding and abetting a potential genocide, with statements of the Israeli government highlighted by the ICJ being used in the federal court.2
Eagle Pass could be a manufactured panic…
The current situation in Eagle Pass could be a manufactured panic resulting from the collusion between Federal and State governments designed to divert our attention from the current global crisis, much like the actions governments took to divert the public during Vietnam. POTUS is also doubling down and issued a statement looking to grab more federal power, using the border “crisis” as his justification.3
