imo legal measures are always limited in what they can give, and especially in ICJ that was to be expected. since this is also not enforceable in any way. like obviously v disappointing they didn't call for a ceasefire despite saying some of the acts fall under genocide and the measures are simply telling israel to starve and kill gazans slightly less and provide them some more aid, but that's not completely unexpected you know.

#in my politics work that's always been the case too #legal victories are always always going to be v v limited in what they can give #learned not to expect or hope for much from legal routes #especially justice from them #and palestine is always the exception for the west- ceasefire except when it comes to genocide of palestinians #but yeah courts uphold imperialistic and capitalistic values in modern society- so hardly surprising that their verdict ended this way
