The responses by U.S. main stream media to the ICJ judgment on Israel are moronic.

Neither of these headlines is completely true nor do they reflect the court’s order:

No legal scholar expected the International Court of Justice to order a general ceasefire.

The court could not order a general ceasefire because its jurisdiction covers only one of the waring parties. An order for a general ceasefire would require that all parties of a conflict are nation states and have signed the Genocide Convention. Hamas however is not a state and is not a signatory of the Genocide Convention........
