    You don’t need to “rule the world” to ignore the ICJ.

    Among others, Japan ignored an ICJ order to stop hunting protected whales and Russia ignored ICJ orders related to its invasion of Ukraine. Neither one needed help from the US.

      That’s because nobody is going to fight a war over whales and Russia is Russia. Israel does not have that power level.

        Nobody is going to start another war in Israel. The ICJ is a court of law, it does not authorize or even approve of violence.

          We don’t need to. We just need to stop giving them military aid and sanction them until they send Netanyahu to the Hague willingly. There’s more than just military action.
