Israel Stands Alone


Israel standing alone among the nations of the world


Intoxicated by an antisemitic orgy of hate for which it has branded itself as a world leader outside of the usual suspects in the Arab and Islamic world, the South African government has been leading the charge of criminal action against Israel in the International Court of Justice (ICJ). On Friday, the ICJ issued a one-sided unjust ruling that Israel must end its military operation in Gaza to free the hostages and destroy Hamas. In a world where despite its just cause Israel stands more and more alone, with the list of allies if not actual friends growing shorter and shorter, this is not surprising even if it is shocking.

In its more than thirty minutes ruling, the ICJ only mentioned the Hamas war crime of kidnapping and holding 125 hostages, in just one sentence, with no consequence to Hamas or demand that that all the hostages be released unconditionally. The court ordered Israel to halt its military offensive on the southern Gaza city, and Hamas stronghold, Rafah. The ICJ made no demands on, or recognition of, any culpability for Hamas and its terrorist and genocidal agenda and actions, for its massacre of 1200 people in one day on October 7, to release the hostages they still hold in captivity illegally, or censured Hamas for unspeakable sexual crimes.

The latest ICJ legal action followed South Africa bringing baseless charges of genocide against Israel earlier this year in which all but one of the judges representing 15 nations voted to allow the legal case to go through. This week, the Lebanese judge led the charge against Israel.

Earlier the same week, the International Criminal Court (ICC) prosecutor announced intentions to issue arrest warrants against Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu and Defense Minister Galant, equating them to the genocidal terrorist leaders of Hamas. Few nations have responded to call out the injustice of this kangaroo court, its overreach and lack of jurisdiction, the unimaginable comparison between Israel and Hamas, or the very antisemitic nature of its prosecutor and the ICC itself by holding Israel to a different standard than other nations of the world.

Not to be left on the sideline, the same week, Ireland, Norway, and Spain colluded to become the latest countries to recognize a fictitious “State of Palestine,” a punitive act against Israel and a gift to the terrorists.

 If Hamas celebrates, you know it’s immoral. They’ve turned immorality into an Olympic sport. These nations made their policy clear: that if you massacre enough Jews, we will appease you and recognize your independence without having to negotiate with Israel, or renounce terror against Israel. This is now the state policy of these three morally bankrupt nations.
