“The decision of the antisemitic court in The Hague proves what was already known: This court does not seek justice, but rather the persecution of Jewish people. They were silent during the Holocaust and today they continue the hypocrisy and take it another step further,” he says.

The ICJ in its current iteration was founded in 1945.

The Israeli government is losing all of its credibility.

Weren't the UN created after WWII exactly with the whole idea to create an international body that is to prevent the atrocities that occurred in WWII? The ICJ is part of the UN and was established at 16.06.1945.

And doesn't Israel exist because of the same agency, the UN, which they now call antisemitic, just because they dare criticize them?

I mean, I will point out that the proto-Israeli terrorist group, Lehi, assassinated the top UN mediator, Folke Bernadotte, in 1948. Lehi was pardoned for their actions and glorified by the Israeli state, and their leader was Prime Minister of Israel from 1983 to 1992.

The Israeli state historically has been very hostile to the UN.
