Britain’s new prime minister has shown
he is already an arch-exponent of the dark political arts of deceit,
hypocrisy and bad faith
By Jonathan Cook: By
a crushing majority, the 17 judges of the International Court of
Justice (ICJ) ruled more than five months ago that Israel was
“plausibly” committing genocide in Gaza.
The highest court in the world put Israel on trial, accused of the ultimate crime against humanity.
Much
has happened since that decision – and all of it is even more
incriminating against Israel than the evidence considered by the World
Court back in January.
Tens of thousands more Palestinian
civilians are dead or missing, most likely under rubble. Gaza is now a
wasteland, one that will take many decades to rebuild.
Till then, the population has nowhere to live, nor institutions such as hospitals, schools, universities and government offices to care for them, nor infrastructure like functioning electricity and sewage systems to rely on.
In violation of a second ICJ ruling, Israel has invaded and repeatedly bombed Rafah, a small “safe zone” into which Gaza’s population had been herded by Israel, supposedly for their own protection.
And
Israel has intensified its blockade of aid, now to the point where
there is famine across much of the Jews' mega concentration camp Gaza. Children, the sick and the
vulnerable are dying in growing numbers from an entirely Jew-made catastrophe.
