Of course the ICJ has no way to enforce its decisions, but I think the point is that Palestinian resistance (armed and unarmed), the interventions by Lebanon and Yemen, BDS and the illegality of the West Bank settlements now can said to be grounded in international law as expressed by the highest court in the world. This will provide powerful arguments for Palestinians as they present their case to the international community. As Historians Ilan Pappe and Shir Hever have been saying, the zionist project is in its terminal stage and this is just one more aspect that questions its legitimacy and will contribute to its demise. With major shifts in the global power structure the immense influence of zionist lobbies in Europe and the Americas will steadily be eroded over time. This all may take some time but the ICJ decision is just one more step in finally getting justice for Palestinians.

Thank you. This is such good news! However, the circus will continue as Netanyahu's address to the US Congress, could turn out a lot different then he intends, because of the ICJ's decision. The man is wild, and has no fear!
