The International Court of Justice just handed down a momentous ruling about Israeli occupation and Palestinian rights. Here are the highlights, some helpful analysis, and reactions from key players.
Int’l Court of Justice deals a severe blow to Israel; at least 50 killed in Gaza; Israel’s killing of Hind Rajab a war crime; West Bank deaths; Yemeni drone hits Tel Aviv; Eilat Port in Israel declares bankruptcy; calls for Israel to be “unseated” from UN; 200 Congress staffers call for boycott of Netanyahu speech; more.
Prominent commentator Peter Beinart writes in NY Times: Jewish people cling to their right of return, but deny Palestinians the right to do the same. The longer justice is delayed, the longer the Palestinian Nakba – and the Jewish moral exile – will continue.
