Summary
The International Court of Justice has issued a devastating provisional ruling against Israel today. Don't fall for the spin of the apologists for Israel's crimes: the ICJ has accepted there is a plausible case that Israel is committing genocide, and that it must be fully investigated.

| 0:46.5 | Those Western governments, politicians and journalists who have supported Israel's |
| 0:51.2 | massacre of Gaza were, as put the ruling, of the highest |
| 0:55.0 | court on the face of the earth cheering on a possible genocide. And I'm making that |
| 0:59.6 | clear from the outset, because emphasizing complicity is crucial in order that there be accountability |
