A Good Day For The Palestinans At The ICJ

The UK has reinstated funding for the relief agency UNRWA was paused after Israeli allegations 12 of its staff were involved in the 7 October attacks after the Israeli's came up with absolutely no evidence to support their claims.
As well as the ongoing Genocide which has seen over 36,000 Palestinian deaths, Israel were also castigated once again by the International Criminal Court today for their military Occupation of their neighbour since 1967 which they said is against international law and Israel should stop settlement activity and 'bring an end to its unlawful presence in the Occupied Palestinian Territory as rapidly as possible'.
The ICJ has been examining the issue since the beginning of 2023 and concluded that Israel should evacuate all of its 700,000 settlers from the West Bank and East Jerusalem and pay reparations to Palestinians for damages caused by the occupation for it's 'systematic discrimination based on, inter alia, race, religion or ethnic origin and 'illegally exploited the Palestinians' natural resources and violated their right to self-determination'.
The court's findings, based on the Israeli blatant disregard for the Geneva and Hague conventions, will now go to the UN General Assembly, which will decide how to respond to the ICJ Ruling that Israel should now transfer land occupied by Israel back to the Palestinian's which includes possible sanctions against Israel or Israeli ministers.
With Israel isolated over its conduct of the Gaza war, and under investigation at the ICJ and the international criminal court for war crimes and genocide,  the assessment of the 6 decades long illegality of Israel’s brutal military occupation will only rightly reinforce that isolation and hopefully bring an end to one of our times greatest wrongs, brought to you by the nation which was created due to having done to them exactly what they are accused of doing to the Palestinians.
