Their voices count. Not mine. Of course, more than 26,000 Palestinians \u2013 and counting \u2013 no longer have a voice. They are dead.<\/p>\n<p>Annihilated by a fanatical Israeli cabinet that has killed hundreds more Palestinians while a gallery of white, Western columnists like me parse the significance and merits of the court\u2019s just announced \u201cprovisional\u201d measures.<\/p>\n<p>We must always remember that blatant and instructive fact. Two camps have emerged. The first has hailed the court\u2019s decision as a watershed moment. Israel has been held finally to account after decades of evading accountability for the litany of outrages it has committed against generation after generation of Palestinians.<\/p>\n<p>The other lasting and overarching import of the court\u2019s decrees is that Israel\u2019s Western-backed and tolerated licence to displace, maim and kill Palestinians without consequences is over.<\/p>\n<p>Near unanimously, the court was convinced that South Africa made a plausible case demonstrating that Israel has displayed the intent to execute genocide.<\/p>\n<p>As a result, the court is required, by international law, to proceed with a full hearing and, ultimately, to render a verdict on the seminal question: Is Israel guilty of the crime of genocide in Gaza?<\/p>\n<p>Near unanimously, the court, in effect, rejected the establishment media notion that the calamity unfolding in Gaza was a \u201cwar\u201d between adversaries; but, rather, is prima facie evidence of a deliberate campaign by Israel to erase, wholesale, a people and a nation.<\/p>\n<p>As such, Israel was required by international law to enact \u201cimmediate\u201d steps to stop the horrors it has unleashed with such unremitting ferocity over the past four months. Towards that end, the court instructed Israel, near unanimously, to deliver a report to South Africa in a month for its review.<\/p>\n<p>Israel is obliged to detail how, when and where it has taken the compulsory measures not only to prevent genocide, but also the incitement to genocide and to allow humanitarian aid to reach the starving and destitute souls who call the devastated enclave home.<\/p>\n<p>The implicit meaning of the court\u2019s order was that Israel had to adopt a ceasefire. As South Africa\u2019s foreign minister, Naledi Pandor, explained to reporters outside The Hague: \u201cI believe that in exercising the order, there would have to be a ceasefire.<\/p>\n<p>Without it, the order doesn\u2019t actually work. \u201d The irony is as inescapable as it is delicious. An apartheid regime has been directed by a court to answer to a country that, in due and patient course, freed itself from another apartheid regime.<\/p>\n<p>The court\u2019s judgement is particularly satisfying because it represents a stiff and damning rebuttal to the now discredited claim made by the usual diplomats in the usual capitals that South Africa\u2019s persuasive petition was \u201cmeritless\u201d and \u201ccounterproductive\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>To its credit, the court has dealt an emphatic, fatal blow to that hollow bit of rhetorical chicanery. In a tangible and historic precedent, Israel and its complicit, evangelical sponsors, have been put on notice by the ICJ.<\/p>\n<p>About time. \u201cHistory \u2013 with a capital H \u2013 was made today,\u201d the Palestinian writer and editor, Mouin Rabbani wrote on X. \u201cIsrael is as of today associated with the crime of genocide primarily as perpetrator, not victim.<\/p>\n<p>Israel\u2019s policies towards the Palestinian people will henceforth be judged on their own merits rather than against the long shadow of European history.<br \/>\nIn this broader context, Rabbani argues that the understandable chagrin over the justices not calling explicitly for a \u201cceasefire\u201d is moot since Israel signalled \u2013 publicly and repeatedly \u2013 that it would continue with its \u201ckilling rage\u201d whatever the court\u2019s edicts.<\/p>\n<p>Still, there is a legion of disappointed Palestinians interviewed by Al Jazeera and the few other news organisations with a permanent presence in Gaza.<\/p>\n<p>They described the court\u2019s refusal to demand a ceasefire and halt Israel\u2019s latest invasion as a predictable \u201cfailure\u201d that has only fuelled their abiding mistrust of the \u201cinternational community\u201d and the so-called \u201cglobal justice system\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAlthough I don\u2019t trust the international community, I had a small glimmer of hope that the court would rule on a ceasefire in Gaza,\u201d 54-year-old Ahmed al-Naffar said from outside the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in central Gaza\u2019s Deir el-Balah on Friday.<\/p>\n<p>He is not alone. \u201cThe court gave Israel another month to continue killing, displacing, and starving us,\u201d Gaza-based journalist Aseel Mousa told the Middle East Eye.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIsrael [has] an opportunity to continue to exterminate us while supplying us with scraps of the food, medicine, and essential life necessities we need.<\/p>\n<p>\u201d The pervasive disappointment is compounded by the ICJ\u2019s glaring and jarring hypocrisy.<\/p>\n<p>Writing from occupied East Jerusalem, Palestinian poet, Mohammed El-Kurd, posted this blunt tweet on X: \u201cLots of people are making excuses. The ICJ can and has historically called for a ceasefire.<\/p>\n<p>In 2022, it demanded \u2018Russia shall immediately suspend the military operation it commenced [in Ukraine. ]\u2019\u201d I oscillate between these two, disparate perspectives.<\/p>\n<p>The comeuppance that Israel may or may not receive at The Hague several months or years hence will be deserving and long overdue. <a name=\"div-gpt-ad-911547742003\"><\/a>But the imperative of now; the imperative to halt the suffering and killing of Palestinians is the more urgent necessity.<\/p>\n<p>The optimist in me hopes that the ICJ\u2019s ruling hastens, somehow, the end \u2013 for good \u2013 of the murderous madness and the quick return of Israelis held by Hamas to their despondent families. The pessimist in me suspects that nothing will change soon on the ground in Gaza and the occupied West Bank. The slaughter of innocents will go on.<\/p>\n<p>Palestinian children, the old, and infirm will succumb to hunger and disease as their families huddle in a sea of flimsy, rain-soaked tents while Israel turns the whole of Gaza into dust and memory.<\/p>\n<p>And, despite the ICJ\u2019s injunctions, much of the world will enable Israel\u2019s wanton siege and carnage of Gaza today and tomorrow as it did yesterday. Yet, the flippant few who dismiss the ICJ\u2019s stinging rebuff of Israel as symbolic or irrelevant should take careful note of how Tel Aviv and Washington have greeted the court\u2019s ruling.<\/p>\n<p>For its formulaic part, Israel has trotted out the tired canard that the ICJ is a hive of \u201canti-Semitic bias\u201d. What an unserious reply to a serious indictment.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, in a calculated and cynical attempt to divert attention from the remarkable proceedings at The Hague, the White House announced a suspension of its relatively paltry aid to the UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) in light of Israeli allegations that some of the organisation\u2019s staff were implicated in the October 7 attacks.<\/p>\n<p>Convenient timing, wouldn\u2019t you say? South Africa\u2019s daring gambit at the ICJ may already be paying welcomed dividends with word that a tentative agreement is close to release the Israeli captives in exchange for a temporary ceasefire.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/mauritius\">Mauritius<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Mauritius.
