UN top court says Israeli occupation of Palestinian territories is illegal | BBC News


The UN’s top court has said Israel’s occupation of Palestinian territories is against international law, in a landmark opinion.

The International Court of Justice (ICJ) said Israel should stop settlement activity in the occupied West Bank, East Jerusalem and Gaza and end its “illegal” occupation of those areas as soon as possible.

The court’s…

  1. These words are like placebo candies; they do not hold any weight. This court has no power to make it happen, and Israel knows it. So, unfortunately, nothing will happen, and the freedom fighters of Palestine will, unfortunately, be called terrorists.

  2. ISRAEL if you would do as THE US did with the African slaves providing EQUALITY the whole world would support to take over the whole MIDDLE EAST as the lives of the people living in those kingdoms is worse that the lives of Jews in Israel but if you cannot give EQUALITY because you deem yourselves superiors then please go back to the land given you in 1948 by The UN and live yourselves alone!!!

  3. UN you think you are greater than God. God gave the land of Israel to the Jews. You want to take it away, watch how God will take away all your power. May God speedily bring down the UN and all governements that do not acknowledge God and keep His commandments.

  4. Look at these silly out of touch poofters sucking on the UN gravy train.who vate what they say. THE UN shoukd be fisbanded as a waste of money any time.

  5. JESUS IS LORD JESUS IS GOD THE FATHER SON AND HOLY SPIRIT ( ONE GOD) MY FATHER IN HEAVEN. READ COLOSSIANS 2:14-16 EASY ENGLISH BIBLE
    READ REVELATION 20:7-10 MESSAGE VERSION. THEY TRIED TO MAKE A VICTIM WAR GODDESS BY KILLING MY UNBORN CHILD AND JOIN SATAN TEAM AND FOLLOWERS I CALLED LAW ENFORCEMENT AND WENT TO FILE CRIMINAL CHARGES AGAINST THOSE PEOPLE YEARS AGO, THEY WILL BE BREAKING THE INTERNATIONAL LAW COMMITTING WAR CRIMES KILLING INNOCENT PEOPLE COMMITTING CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY OVERTHROWING GOVERNMENTS TRYING TO GAIN POWER THROUGH ROBBERY ( HOLOCAUST) BREAKING THE RULE OF LAW ETC. I SAID DON'T TRY TO RECRUIT ME AIN'T GOING TO HELL FOR ETERNITY. JESUS IS LORD.

  6. Can anyone tell me where Jews should make their state then? How come 14 million jews get to be a threat to 1.6 billion Muslims, and do Muslims has to have All of the Middle East?

  7. It took the ICJ 10 months what we have known for the past 76 YEARS. The israeli jewish occupation is illegal, the Israeli regime apartheid in Gaza is illegal, the multiple settlements by israeli squatters is illegal, the massive indiscriminate slaughter of CIVILIANS is illegal, the carpet bombing of entire highly populated civilian areas is illegal, the incarceration of civilians even CHILDREN WITHOUT any type of legal council and WITHOUT even a charge in a mitary prison is illegal, torture rape and humiliation of detainees is illegal, bombing hospitals, clinics, schools, churches, humaniarian aid institutions, refugee camps is illegal, using famine as a weapon of war against a defenseless population is illegal as well as hundreds more atrocities, war crimes and on going GENOCIDE against the Palestinian population committed by the israeli zionist regime are all illegal. Now what is the civilized world going to do about it, the israelies are deceitful lying immoral monsters hifing under a false mask of victims like wolves in sheep's skin. These monsters have slaughtered over 22,000 CHILDREN just in thf past 10 months, 22,000 CHILDREN people, what sort of Godless monsters can say that slaughtering over 43,000 unarmed defenseless civilians is SELF DEFENSE? These EVIL DOERS will have their punishment soon. Because the Lord Almighty is ALWAYS on the sidd of the oppressed and against the coward oppressors.

  8. As an American/Canadian dual citizen living in Maryland, let me be frank here: I can't care less about what whether Palestinians want peace or not.

    We are all partial when it comes to territories and it's impossible to be generous to all. So for an outsider like me who is neither a Palestinian nor an Israeli, the question boils down to whom you have solidarity with. Naturally different people have different answers to the question but as an American the reasoning is pretty straightforward:

    Did the Israelis celebrate 911 all over the streets? Do the majority of Israelis support the massive killing of Americans? Do most Israelis believe apostasy warrants death penalty and gays should be executed? Those are the questions to which the majority of Israelis have exactly the same answers as the majority of Americans have. The majority of Arabs/Palestinians, in contrast, embrace the opposite answers. That's it.

    People can print "Israel is evil…" on their shirt s and wear them everywhere but in this world which country is not "evil" to some extent? Is the USA itself so innocent? Isreal's catalogue of criminal violations against Palestinian civilians is almost as long as the catalogue of violations perpetrated by various Palestinian, Arab, and Iranian outfits against Israeli civilians. Of course neither one is remotely as long and as blood-soaked as the list of abuses carried out by the United States against civilians all over the world.

    But at the end of the day we are what we are. I am American – I love my country no matter what. My interests and perceptions align with no country other than those of my own. We have friends and we have enemies – the distinction between the two has nothing to do with any specific moral verdicts but is purely based on the actual bilateral relationships between "we" and the country in question. The reality of the world speaks for itself: the "evil" Israel is naturally America's best friend in terms of values, ideologies, religions, economic and technological ties, and most of all, security interests. In comparison the Palestinians are NOT Americans' friends – they hate Americans' guts. That's all there is to know. You stick to your friends no matter what, while treating your enemies the way they want to treat you – even if you forget they are your enemies, they won't.

    For those on the opposite side of the aisles and find both Israel and America abominable – I am taking NO offense. I am sure from your perspective you have good reason for holding onto your position. I respect you as a worthy enemy. (It means I respect your right to do oppose us without the delusion of presuming any common ground between us – worthy enemies are still enemies.)

    With all these being said, there is one thing Americans' enemies will discount at their own peril: the USA after all is the only Superpower in the world. We are also at the center of an alliance system that includes in its ranks literally every single one of the world's 30+ industrialized countries, from France to Britain, from Germany to Italy, from Poland to Spain, from Canada to Australia, from Japan to South Korea… Our power is unshakeable and we stand behind Israel hell or high water. If enemies of the US and Israel don't want peace – so be it. "No peace" is the last thing the USA is afraid of.

    So I am sorry Palestinians but we really don't need your good opinions and we have no fear for your harboring a lasting hatred against us. The opinions of Palestinians or Arabs in general, have absolutely zero impact on our power. Despite all their ill-wishing we remain a flourishing superpower and enjoy a standard of living and constitutional rights they can only dream of. Their perpetual grudge against us is something we absolutely can afford to withstand.

  9. Is not new since 1948 al nakba story and all Palestine citizen have and save a key Palestine house last ocupation this land. And my guest on wha you cant do to stop this war crime and genocide don't do talk angain and again no respon and action you must stop this icj salut for you work
