Thanks for your informative post. One bit of advice if I may: I try not to tell people what not to read, but like 'Common Dreams', I'd stop reading the Huffington Post. I mean, why even give them your 'clicks'? Just my opinion.

"The only genocide it will be ruling on is Ukraine’s."

Exactly as the ICJ should. The West thinks nobody remembers 2014 and its hand in the coup d'etat in Ukraine. Fortunately, the judges at the ICJ aren't as stupid as the West had hoped. Ukraine could get hoisted by its own petard. How fitting!

I think that the "news" in the US might be even worse than the UK. This is the first I've heard of the ICJ case. Headlines here consist of what underwear Taylor Swift is removing for whatever new boyfriend she is seeing at the moment. Important issues like those. The only news on the Russian Ukraine war is how desperate the Ukraine is for more money and weapons.

The UN and the ICJ are as useful as tits on a bull. The US and NATO (and Israel) control the show. If the UN and ICJ were actual functioning bodies in troops would have intervened in Gaza long before now. In fact the UN should have done something about the Palistinian state decades ago rather than letting it reach this point. If the UN is supposed to represent a type of international democracy then one can only conclude that democracy is a failure. However I don't believe that is the case. The weight each vote carries is based upon the wealth and military capabilities of each country. Votes are not equal. It is the same situation that the citizens of the US and UK are in. Money and power are the overruling attributes in decisions.

Thank you for posting this and your other writings. The MSM is merely a world wide propaganda machine and your exposure of the truth is critical.
