The world court can do two things. First, arbitrate between two consenting states who agree to abide by the decision. Second, issue advisory rulings which have absolutely no functional authority. America doesn’t have to step in. Nation states around the world wouldn’t have signed onto a world court that could actually compel them to obey, we all like our sovereignty.
Biden isn’t going to do a damn thing to fundamentally alter our Israel policy. He’s been hawkish on Palestine for decades, and despite how much the youth vote disapproves of the war, there’s also a substantial part of the base as well as independents who strongly support Israel.
There have been several opinion polls recently showing that a majority of Americans support Israel over Palestine, even as Israel has killed 20x as many people as Hamas.
Biden is in zugzwang. Keep supporting Israel’s slaughter, and the youth vote will stay home. Oppose it, and he’ll be labeled a Hamas sympathizer or an anti-Semite. Continue to do nothing, and he looks weak and ineffective. Every move is the wrong move.
They’ll look to daddy USA and nothing will happen.

Which is ironic because as citizens of these countries we don’t get that choice regarding the laws we’re compelled to obey.
I think the US is about done with Netanyahu. The media is already starting to talk about the fractures between him and Biden.
Biden better fucking wrap that up soon.
