      The world court can do two things. First, arbitrate between two consenting states who agree to abide by the decision. Second, issue advisory rulings which have absolutely no functional authority. America doesn’t have to step in. Nation states around the world wouldn’t have signed onto a world court that could actually compel them to obey, we all like our sovereignty.

          America likes Israel the way it is. I honestly don’t know why any more, but America will not step in because America doesn’t want to step in. Biden’s popularity is in freefall because he refuses to do anything about America’s complicity in this genocide–yet, he still does nothing. There must be a reason that overrides the compelling case to end a genocide, but I don’t know what it is. He doesn’t even have to send troops, he just has to stop sending them aid. He won’t even do that. Idgi, but the fact stands that America will not step in.

            Oh no, you misunderstood.

            I’m saying America will step in to protect Israel from facing any kinds of consequences. It’s like he said, if Israel didn’t exist we’d have to create it.
