If international law doesn’t apply to Israel then it does not exist. This will essentially collapse the institution.

It is how the League of Nations fell apart.

Italy invaded Ethiopia, and the king of Ethiopia made an impassioned plea to the League. They were the only independent African nation, and were actually members of the League.

The plea was ignored, and Mussolini’s Italy committed war crimes that were easily on par with anything the Nazis did when it came their turn to invade a country, and methed out Nazis had literal baby shooting competitions in Poland.

International Law doesn’t apply to those with a lot of weapons and money. Case in point: Russia, the U.S., Israel, the U.K…

Fully agree.

If this kind of institution starts to be ignored, with no consequences, then it no longer serves a purpose.

No, it just means that they’re in breach of International law.

And if there’s no consequences for that, it means there’s effectively no law

I feel like I’ve been living in that world for a long time now.

There’s not.

Russian invasion of Ukraine and no significant consequences was one of the most recent examples.

Nobody can stop Israel’s genocide because the burger empire is backing it. That’s is the sole reason.

Spoken like a Despot. He was trying to rewrite/change the Powers of the Supreme Court. Tons of Israelis are against it, and his Administration. Lots of protests that did not make a lot of News media on the West before the 7th. You can find them on YouTube and on some Jewish News Media.
