About 200,000 people have taken to the streets of Germany in further protests against the far-right party Alternative for Germany (AfD).

Protests on Saturday also took place in Dresden, Mainz and Hanover in a sign of growing alarm at strong public support for AfD.

Roughly 150,000 people flocked to the Reichstag parliament building in Berlin, where protesters gathered under the slogan “We are the Firewall” to protest against right-wing extremism and to show support for democracy.

This is very nice. In the meantime the German government cut funding for the UN humanitarian aid organization, with the predictable outcome that many thousands of civilizations are going to starve or thirst to death or die from diseases. Because Israel said so after the ICJ ruling.

This in contravention of the ICJ ruling that ordered to stop Genocide. Which is binding for all countries to take steps to prevent genocide. German press isn't really reporting on what that means.

Which means the current "social democratic / green / liberal" coalition is potentially aiding in a genocide.

Fuck the AfD fascists but you know... fuuuuuuuuuuuck

UNWRA currently isn't able to get aid in because the IDF blocks everything so right now is actually the about best time to put pressure on them to clean ship. Not to mention that there's other agencies and organisations in the area doing generic humanitarian work, schools are about the last of Gazan's worries right now.

This in contravention of the ICJ ruling that ordered to stop Genocide.

The ICJ said no such thing. The preliminary order requires Israel to make sure that aid is getting to Gazans.

Thanks, but I have read the order I don't need a random secondary source to know what's in there or not. Paragraph 80.

I mean even on the face of it: It's Israel which is getting sued, not the rest of the world. Of course the ICJ is thus going to order Israel to do stuff, not the rest of the world, which isn't in the dock.

The court determined that there is risk of genocide, so the world community MUST act. Instead they cut of funding for humanitarian aid, which is in direct contravention of international law.

https://www.un.org/en/genocideprevention/about-responsibility-to-protect.shtml

The international community, through the United Nations, also has the responsibility to use appropriate diplomatic, humanitarian and other peaceful means, in accordance with Chapters VI and VIII of the Charter, to help protect populations from genocide, war crimes, ethnic cleansing and crimes against humanity. In this context, we are prepared to take collective action, in a timely and decisive manner ...

That's not a court order. It's not even a treaty. It's a summit paper summing up how the participants understand applicable international law. The summit was 2005. Israel already did shady shit back then but SA hadn't yet brought a case before the ICJ, mostly because Israeli politicans hadn't yet run their mouth regarding the seed of Amalek and stuff which enabled dragging Israel before court in the first place as the charge of genocide requires intent to destroy, not mere war crimes, those kinds of quotes are necessary to prove intent.

Learn to actually read and contextualise the stuff you're quoting. I don't disagree with the sentiment but boy are your posts full of holes. Hasbara would have you for breakfast.
