Weeb Union says the IDF is withdrawing from the north of Gaza:
Gaza City FREE | Israel Withdraws From Gaza City
Could it be related to the ICJ proceedings or just a cohencidence?
Weeb speculates that the IDF may believe their mission is accomplished in northern Gaza and so withdrawal is justified.
That doesn’t sound plausible to me since attacks are still coming from northern Gaza.
Besides – they did plant their ‘flag’ there didn’t they?
Perhaps Weeb simply started the weekend drinking session early this time …

High casualties once they entered the lions den, the Hamas dunghill, have that effect. There were plenty of signs early on that once IDF forces moved into high density Gaza, Hamas would do a Hezbollah on them. That has proved correct.

The Israeli defeat in the rubble of gaza city… the Muslim concept of martyrdom…
I have spent quite a bit of time watching various disciplines of martial arts. When it comes to striking, Thai Muay Thai is a standout. The art of eight limbs. Bukaw, Saenchai ect.
Many international fighters go to gyms there to learn the discipline and train. What is interesting about their initiation into these gyms/schools is that first and foremost what is looked for is how much punishment they can take and keep going. The ability to absorb the hits and keep functioning.
In the early days, Israel may well have been a hardened terrorist outfit but no more. Lumbering conscript army that can genocide civilians wityh massive US firepower but cannot stand against hardened and disciplined fighters.

Cannot be claimed since they have not yet been seriously attacked….
However, the UK ship is not really there as a warship — its true role is to be false-flag sunk by the US (or Israelis) whenever they wish to “justify” an escalation of war.

You think with a western mindset. I don’t mean that disparagingly as that is how I thought not so many years back. I wrote something about Kissingers westphalia in some comments not so long back. The treaties of westphalia that brought some peace or ended thirty years of war within the holy roman empire. Both Protestants and catholics are within the holy roman empire. Those involved in those peace negotiations are now what is currently known as the west. The Holy Roman Empire only has a win lose mindset as in Borrells garbage about the garden and the jungle which directly relates to Westphalia vs the rest – aka the jungle. Outside Borrell’s garden, the world is much different. The rest of the world is not the Westphalia west.
Corporate interests, as they are now, is very much a western thing. Leaders of nations that are loyal to their poeple and nation look at the nations interests rather than commercial interests. China takes down the speculators so we see garbage in the propaganda media about china collapsing economically. the west rides on financial speculation bubble whereas as much of the non western world looks at production.
It is somewhat of a blinkered view to project onto to all othe nations leaderships what our leaderships are. It doesn’t mean all others are benign, but each much be looked at individually with first projecting onto them the corruption of our elites.
We look at the world, Persia and China civilisations with much technolgy and leaning long before Europe emerged from the forests and four of the five eyes are nothing more than a sparrow fart in history.
The Russian federation and China. Very diverse nations, many ethnic peoples. Like with US Canada NZ, Australia has only two groups, the imigrants and the indigenous peoples. Go to any outback town in Australia. The genocide is ongoing, yet the woke look in horror at the fictional genocide of Uyghurs and so forth and think nothing of sanctioning the Uyghurs. Distopia.
Spend some time with other cultures. The average person in the west needs to break out of the westphalian mindset. Borrells garden and jungle.

The “Houthis” are the authentic representatives of the Yemeni nation. They are members of a shiah denomination quite distinct from that of the Iranians or Hezbollah. The Ansrallah Imamate ruled Yemen for a millenium until the early 1960s.
Their interest, which they are shrewd enough to realise is pretty well shared by all the Arab peoples, is to expel Imperialism, which they have resisted, with success, for centuries from Arabia. They see themselves, in a very realistic way, as being representative of real Islam, whether shia or sunni (there have always been sunni communities in Yemen) which they regard as being the proper ideology of thir world.
It is a miracle that they still exist but they have been through decades at war with the Empire and its jackals, like the Saudi state or the UAE, taking on the most advanced and highly armed militaries in the world, being bombed and straffed by jets piloted by Americans or British pilots, armed and maintained out of the budgets of imperial metropoli, and, at the end of brutal campaigns they have emerged… as seen on videos. Laying down the law knowing that what they are doing is right and approved of by the One God that they worship.
The miracle is simply explained: they are doing what they must do.
They are still under attack by the same alliance, in essence, as the one attacking Russia, after a decade in which Obama’s drone killings, the mobilisation of the jackal al qaeda, the UAE’s capture of Socotra, with Israeli assistance, and the hiving off of the former Aden Protectorate including the great entrepot of Aden, with the old wounds of the Saudi theft of a quarter of the Yemen- the Houthi heartland provinces- still rankling. And they remain calm and businesslike, adding each injustice and indignity to the agenda to which they are committed, an agenda in which revenge is only incidental and the restoration of order and justice is the theme.
When the Houthis say that they are committed to the Palestinian cause, they are stating nothing more than a fact: they have been and must be committed to justice and fairness and their duty is to use what strength they have in the cause, which not coincidentally involves fighting their old enemies, the latest iteration of the succession of empires that they have watched come and go from Arabia, and the Africa which is within sight from the hills.
What puzzles them is that so many Arabs appear to be indifferent. But they understand why.
The Saudis for example own enormous media properties in the United States. And have massive investments in both the City and Wall Street- the Saudi Royal Family is considerably more invested in the ‘dollar’ system and western capitalism than all but a handful of Americans.
They are unembarassed by such ties and compromises, and the Red Sea and Suez if they aren’t completely closed are certainly blockaded with minimal effort.

On October 7th the vast majority killed were IDF and other security forces, armed settlers (all of which have done their military service), Hamas, and settlers killed by Israeli helicopters, tanks, and soldiers all firing wildly at anything they saw, plus crossfire. There is very little, if any, proof of Hamas intentionally and coldly killing unarmed civilians. There was no Hamas “terrorist” action, rather an excursion beyond the wall by an occupied people, to which the IDF massively over-reacted in a highly undisciplined manner.

As I predicted months ago the UNSC will not lift a finger to stop a genocide but just you try and f**c with their precious cargoes of plastic nick-knacks and they’ll all stand together:

11 Jan 2024
The UN Security Council has passed a resolution demanding Yemen’s Houthis end attacks on ships in the Red Sea and free the Japanese-operated Galaxy Leader that was seized last year.
Eleven members of the council voted on Wednesday for the measure calling on the Iran-aligned Houthis to “immediately cease all attacks, which impede global commerce and navigational rights and freedoms as well as regional peace”.

(Aside: States are amoral actors at best. That goes for China and Russia as well despite all the Orthodox Christianity song and dance. At least China professes no morality outside of pragmatism. The rest of them adopt a facade of ethics.)
I hope the Houthi treat this resolution the same way Izzrael has treated previous UNSC resolutions against it.

(Australian) Albanese government refuses to reveal stance on UN genocide case against Israel
While the Australian government has previously thrown its support behind the Ukrainian government in its case against Russia at the ICJ shortly after Moscow’s invasion, the government is keeping its cards close in South Africa’s case against Israel.
The Department of Foreign affairs and Trade (Dfat) declined to respond to questions by Guardian Australia about whether it had exercised its responsibility to the genocide convention – of which Australia is a signatory – in relation to the Israel-Gaza conflict and what its position on South Africa’s ICJ claim is.

The Cradle has a posting up about Iraq trying again to oust the US and below is the link and a quote
https://new.thecradle.co/articles/iraq-wants-orderly-withdrawal-of-destabilizing-us-troops-pm
the quote

In 2020, following the assassination of Iranian Quds Force commander Qassem Soleimani, the Iraqi parliament voted in favor of expelling US troops from Iraq. The resolution specifically called for the cancellation of Iraq’s formal request for US military assistance against ISIS, which was issued in 2014.
Washington rejected the resolution and threatened to impose heavy sanctions on Baghdad.
“We have a very extraordinarily expensive air base that’s there. It cost billions of dollars to build … We’re not leaving unless they pay us back for it … We will charge them sanctions like they’ve never seen before ever. It’ll make Iranian sanctions look somewhat tame,” said then-US president Donald Trump on the same day as the Iraqi parliamentary vote.

It’s politics that will matter not the law. I reckon that there will not be a majority of judges who vote in favour of the complaint. In my view, neither Russia nor China will vote in favour of the temporary injunction and the majority of the remaining judges are from countries who are in thrall to the US or too frightened to take a stand.
So while I am pleased the matter is being aired, I fear that there will be no real action taken to stop the genocide.

I agree. I had posted a breakdown of Finkelstein before. It is useful only in that it shows the prevailing Zionist view of the ICJ as their political toy.
For those of you who support BDS, I urge you to refer to Fink circa 2012. He has always oppsosed it. This is who he really is: a diehard Zionist. Also check his AJ interview with Mehdi Hasan where he reveals himself as an absolute double faced scumbag.
“Finkelstein lay into the three “tiers” of the BDS call: that Israel end its occupation of Arab lands conquered in 1967; that it end all forms of discrimination and guarantee equality for Palestinian citizens of Israel; and that it respect and promote the rights of Palestinian refugees, including the right of return.
“They don’t want Israel,” Finkelstein declared, “They think they’re being very clever. They call it their three tiers… We want the end of the occupation, we want the right of return, and we want equal rights for Arabs in Israel. And they think they are very clever, because they know the result of implementing all three is what? What’s the result? You know and I know what’s the result: there’s no Israel.”
https://www.aljazeera.com/opinions/2012/2/28/finkelstein-bds-and-the-destruction-of-israel
Have barflies never asked themselves how these 3 have suddenly become the de facto spokespersons for Palestine at the expense of Palestinian voices?
1. Finkelstein the Jewish suffering guy: never gives an interview without first talking about H. Uses his parents background to suggest Palestinians are hate filled Nat Turners (but does it so smoothly).
2. Mearsheimer: his AIPAC book is really about creating a narrative where terrorism by US led groups like ISIS and AQ are blamed on Arab / Muslim world in order to justify arming Israel-
Btw this is the reason why Arab / Muslim countries including Palestinian Authority did not and COULD NOT have done the ICJ application. To be taken seriously it HAD TO BE DONE by a neutral third party and SA with its apartheid history has the moral authority.
Ray McGovern, sharp as ever, noted ironically on Judge Nap that Mearsheimer had NEVER used the genocide word before the SA case hearing date was announced.
I think he shares my suspicions.
3. Jeffrey Sachs: the “Gaza” day after go to guy. Just like he was the USSR “day after” go to guy along with L.Summers and all the rest of the Harvard gang for those who remember.
All these three guys are trying to get ahead of the changing currents.
Listen to Palestinian voices and other third parties. It’s hardly freedom for Palestine if their three main spokespersons are diehard Zionists wearing “do gooder” masks.
I repeat: Finkelstein thinks 1) end of the occupation 2) the right of return and 3) equal rights for Arabs in Israe are not justified.

A tragedy.
This goes back to a rather cryptic comment I made some months ago to the effect that the prominence of Jewish voices speaking in favour of the Palestinian cause seems to be getting remarkably more airplay than Palestinian voices.

As if the Palestinians are being carefully removed from the stage of their own play, and both the protagonist and the antagonist being substituted with Jewish actors instead. It would be a shame, when the curtains come down and it’s time to take a bow that the masks come off and the hero and the villain in this story both turn out to be one and the same.

The UN’s International Court of Justice (ICJ) is biased and dominated by the Western colonial powers.
South Africa’s case accusing Israel of genocide is very strong, but the sad reality is politics drives ICJ rulings, not facts.
The ICJ has 15 judges from these countries:
🇺🇲 US
🇩🇪 Germany
🇫🇷 France
🇦🇺 Australia
🇮🇳 India
🇯🇵 Japan
🇸🇰 Slovakia
🇷🇺 Russia
🇨🇳 China
🇧🇷 Brazil
🇲🇦 Morocco
🇺🇬 Uganda
🇸🇴 Somalia
🇱🇧 Lebanon
🇯🇲 Jamaica
South Africa’s case would need 8 votes from those judges, and is unlikely to get them, as the US government is going to aggressively lobby the other members to vote against the case, or to at least abstain.
It would of course be nice if the ICJ actually ruled based on facts, but politics is in command. And the international political/judicial order is still deeply colonial.

Closing argument excellent. Addressed “Hamas”.. “war crimes vs genocide” “self defense” “occupation” “prior UN ICC/ICJ Orders”. All arguments addressed prior precedence and jurisprudence. Solid argument as to why Israel “commitment” to prevent genocide or alleviate suffering cannot be considered in evaluating interim order.
All in all. All arguments consolidated solid merits for interim intervention order.
