Israel erred in submitting to ICJ jurisdiction, says Alan Dershowitz
[Ynet] Senior Jewish American jurist Prof. Alan Dershowitz, whose name came up as a potential candidate for representing Israel as a judge in the International Court of Justice at The Hague regarding South Africa's petition accusing Israel of "genocide" in Gaza, is not moved by the prosecution's arguments and made it clear that Israel should not act on any decision made in the tribunal.

"Israel should ignore whatever is said by the International Court of Justice," Dershowitz said Wednesday in an interview with Ynet. "It is not a real court. It's a court whose judges are picked by their countries, it reflects foreign policy, not rule of law, not judiciary. I think that Israel made a mistake in submitting to the jurisdiction of the court,
Given that a large subgroup of Israelis are dumb - see "judicial protests" going to court was unavoidable. However, Bibi did manage to get some benefits. Aaron Barak, chosen as Israeli representative to the court, has been an ambassador of "international law" to Israel his entire career. And is fairly influential in certain circles. Now he'll be forced to denounce the ICJ, or be exposed as an useful idiot.
and it would make a mistake in complying with any ruling of the court.
No chance of that, prof.
This is one of the most absurd abuses of the judicial process in modern history.

..."I think the Israeli lawyers have done a good job within the constraints of the International Court of Justice, but it's like arguing in front of a wall - their arguments will have no impact on the decision whatsoever. This is politics, it has nothing to do with the law. And I think that by arguing the law they legitimate an illegitimate court."
Some Israelis need proof that "International" and "Nazi" are the same when it comes to Israel.

To summarize: A Kenguru court trying a case submiteed by a Claudine Gay nation.
The preliminary ruling in this case is supposed to come down Friday.

#1 The ICJ only prosecutes war criminals.


I'd say it's pretty easy to stay out of their crosshairs.


Isreal: Don't commit any war crimes. Difficulty: impossible.
