genocide and the icj;

The first week of May 2025 coincided with the final days of the week-long International Court of Justice (ICJ) hearings on Israel’s genocide of Gaza. Representatives of more than forty countries, among them Russia, China, Ireland, Spain, Turkey, Malaysia, and Brazil, presented evidence that Israel is deliberately starving the population of Gaza to death. Israel called the charges “antisemitic” and refused to defend itself.

The hearings came just at the moment that two million people are falling over the edge of starvation. As NBC News reported on May 4, “Starvation looms as Israel’s total blockade on Gaza enters its third month: Thousands of children in Gaza have been admitted to hospitals for malnutrition, but even as they waste away, doctors’ options for treating them have depleted.” That report begins: “Gazans are fighting over the last cans of food, malnourished mothers are struggling to make milk for their thinning babies, and doctors have begun counting down the days before the slow deaths by starvation begin to happen en masse.”

Unfortunately, that NBC report is the exception that proves the rule. Most American and Western media have downplayed or blacked out the true extent of the catastrophe. Owned and operated disproportionately by Zionist Jews who support the genocide (as Jewish former New York Timesreporter Philip Weiss has observed) “American” media work overtime to avoid provoking the kind of public outcry that could stop the massacre of innocents in its tracks..........https://www.unz.com/kbarrett/mainstream-media-blacks-out-icj-hearings-on-israeli-genocide/
