"Winter War." What a cover today in the Polish weekly Polityka! Admittedly, I get the impression the cover was originally designed with a "Greenland" theme, but then Greenland faded into the background. And the lion's share of the article is devoted to praising Canadian Prime Minister Carney's "brilliant" speech in Davos, which Westerners are reading avidly.

Dutch Parliament Stands Firm 🇳🇱✡️ After weeks of pressure from activists and opposition parties, the Dutch Parliament voted against recognizing a Palestinian state and against new sanctions on Israel. 🔹 Foreign Minister Caspar Veldkamp resigned after failing to win cabinet support for measures such as banning settlement imports. 🔹 His entire NSC party left the caretaker government in protest. 🔹 Despite loud demonstrations in The Hague, the majority of lawmakers rejected one-sided punishments targeting Israel. 🔹 The Netherlands remains under a caretaker government until early elections in October. Bottom line: The attempt to isolate Israel failed. Dutch democracy refused to legitimize Hamas by recognizing a Palestinian state or punishing the world’s only Jewish state with new sanctions. 📌 Source: AP, Guardian, Politico, NOS

Tomorrow at 3pm (15.00 hrs) #Hague time, the #ICJ will deliver its decision on the request for an advisory opinion on the #Israeli regime’s obligations relating to the #UN and other aid agencies in occupied #Palestine.

The case derives from the regime’s repeated blocking of, interference with, and attacks on the UN and other international aid organisations. The inexcusable continued presence of confessed Israeli regime loyalist #JudgeSebutinde on the court is a historic scandal, but it is unlikely to save the regime from yet another international ruling against it.

So, the government in SA is on the brink of losing it all, and the state is failing. They choose to arrange the biggest distraction out there that would utilize the trendiest topic circulating atm for clout.

And while Jews are Not Surprised (tm), the biggest irony in this is that, once more, the Palestinians are used by a third party for local political gain.

Since whatever Hague decides has zero affect on the wellbeing of any Gazan anyway, the farce we are witnessing going down in Hague right now pretty much boils down to a country half a world away from the war, using dead Gazans for internal PR.

Basically, if the court dismisses the case/determines that there is no Genocide, we are going to witness the cynical reception of the news by those who back SA's claim, that are wishing for there to be a Genocide.

If the court does accept the claim, we will witness SA waltzing back home over the equator, doing fuck all at all with this win, and Gazans are abandoned once more, for they have fulfilled the needs of SA in this matter.

It is cynical, hollow, and perverse.

While most news organizations, including the largest mainstream organizations in the United States, the UK and Europe chose not to broadcast South Africa's historic case live at the ICJ, they did choose to show Israel's defense against South Africa's accusation of genocide live.

Despite this dereliction of duty, more than two dozen actors have contributed to a video series, published by the Palestine Festival of Literature, in support of South Africa's motion, accusing Israel of genocide in its war against Hamas in Gaza in which they read excerpts of the case out loud.

More than two dozen prominent names from the acting world including #SusanSarandon, #Cynthia Nixon, The Crown actors #KhalidAbdalla and #TobiasMenzies, and Game of Thrones stars #CharlesDance, #CariceVanHouten and #Lena Headey have contributed to a series of videos supporting #SouthAfrica's historic case charging Israel with genocide at the International Court of Justice in the Hague.
