Not at all Jonny.

France doesn’t send migrants to the UK.

Ireland can distribute asylum seekers around Europe. Not so the UK. But let’s enjoy for a moment the thought that the failing UK Government is going to make demands of the EU.

I’m guessing that’s another AI fail.

I believe a few Alumni are amongst us here on this forum.

I just did, this is you doing exactly that: Nobody in this thread has even suggested that the former ICJ President did not clarify exactly that. It’s not a point anyone is arguing.

Brian nobody in this thread is discussing whether or not the claims of genocide are plausible. That’s you engaging in your habit of inventing the views of those whose real views you can’t handle. I’m asking you when Donoghue left the ICJ [Feb 6 2024] because very clearly the information and ruling she is discussing and that you are relying upon relates to events prior to that date. What she has to say about events prior to Feb 6 have no relevance to events after Feb 6. The allegations of genocide are under investigation.

1. Who has said in this thread that the claims of ‘genocide are plausible’? 2. It’s been how many months since Donoghue was at the ICJ, is what she ruled back then still valid today?

This is the obscenity that the protesters are raising their voice against: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-68915529#:~:text=Some 30% of children below,UN calls "catastrophic hunger."

In the light of the ICJ ruling that Israel must open routes for food and medical supplies to enter Gaza ‘at scale’, in order to protect the rights of Palestinians against Genocide. Here’s some more from the BBC: “Last month the UN Human Rights chief, Volker Turk, accused Israel of a potential war crime because of the food crisis in Gaza. "The extent of Israel's continued restrictions on entry of aid into Gaza, together with the manner in which it continues to conduct hostilities, may amount to the use of starvation as a method of war," he said.” https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-68915529#:~:text=Some 30% of children below,UN calls "catastrophic hunger."

I backed my claims up with links. The BBC interview is one source. The links are provided are other sources.

My statement was not Israel is committing genocide. It was the allegations of genocide are under investigation. AND The ICJ have issued a ruling requiring Israel to take a number of actions. There is little evidence that Israel is complying with that ruling. Refer links I posted. Argue with what I’ve said by all means, but please desist in this ploy of assuming views or arguments I have not made.

You should read the ruling. It’s the ruling that is binding on Israel.

here you go Brian: https://www.amnesty.org/en/latest/news/2024/02/israel-defying-icj-ruling-to-prevent-genocide-by-failing-to-allow-adequate-humanitarian-aid-to-reach-gaza/#:~:text=One month after the International,bare minimum steps to comply%2C https://reliefweb.int/report/occupied-palestinian-territory/report-israel-continues-violate-icj-ruling-gaza-enar

Here’s post Brian. Point out the bit where I mention anything of what Joan Donoghue had to say on the matter. It was you who inserted her o to the discussion. My post does not rely at all on her interview. So your point was based on a false assumption on your part.

She never said anything about little evidence of Israel’s compliance. Nor did I claim she did. What’s your point Brian?

Yes I do. Now you explain how what she said contradicts my post you responded to.

I know exactly what she said because I went to the source interview, not the clip posted on this forum. I also went directly to the ICJ ruling.

The allegations of genocide are under investigation. The ICJ has issued a ruling detailing what steps Israel must take to avoid the increased risk of genocide, there is little evidence of Israel complying with that ruling.

Oddly no mention of the Defendant falling asleep in court. Although I understand this is now being portrayed as Defendant Trump being ‘Anti-Woke’.

Jonny, you demonstrating how hopelessly ill-informed and repetitively off topic you are doesn’t bother me in the least, your reputation, your right to trash it.

Posting in the wrong thread Jonny? There’s absolutely no mention of socialism in the OP and Labour haven’t been in Government in the UK for over 14 years, their influence on students at U.S. universities is something for you to explain.

Sorry for my delay in responding, as you know I don’t view video links posted in this discussion forum and therefore went in search of the source BBC Interview. You are correct, the statements in news reports that the ICJ ruled that Israel is plausibly committing genocide have now been corrected by the former and importantly contemporaneous chief of the ICJ. Why she’s waited months to make this correction is not explained. On the full interview she goes on to discuss the ongoing risk of irreparable damage to the right of Palestinians to protected from genocide and of course the ICJ orders all still stand: (a) Unanimously, Take all necessary and effective measures to ensure, without delay, in full co-operation with the United Nations, the unhindered provision at scale by all concerned of urgently needed basic services and humanitarian assistance, including food, water, electricity, fuel, shelter, clothing, hygiene and sanitation requirements, as well as medical supplies and medical care to Palestinians throughout Gaza, including by increasing the capacity and number of land crossing points and maintaining them open for as long as necessary; (b) By fifteen votes to one, Ensure with immediate effect that its military does not commit acts which constitute a violation of any of the rights of the Palestinians in Gaza as a protected group under the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide, including by preventing, through any action, the delivery of urgently needed humanitarian assistance; https://www.icj-cij.org/node/203847

It was intended to empower Hamas as a counter to the Palestinian Authority and thereby scupper the movement towards a Palestinian State. https://www.timesofisrael.com/for-years-netanyahu-propped-up-hamas-now-its-blown-up-in-our-faces/

Nevertheless Netanyahu did support this funding. He’s now waging war against the organization he helped fund and Palestinians are paying the cost of (what’s the word of the day?) ‘Carnage’ of civilians. None of which excuses the obscene terrorist attack of 7/10.
