We are hours away from the International Court of Justice ruling on whether Israel's actions in Gaza could amount to "genocide." It is so absurd... but I am not optimistic and I am worried that Israel will be ordered to stop fighting just at the moment it has Hamas beaten.
I think we know there will be a split decision. The Chief Justice is from the U.S. and there is one Israeli justice (as a courtesy). There are justices from Arab countries who cannot return home alive if they vote in Israel's favor. The question is: a split favoring whom?
South Africa's case was based on garbage propaganda and citations (often inaccurate) of Israeli officials saying offensive (or simply misunderstood) things. Israel's case, as even (informed) South African observers admitted, was very strong on the law itself.
I predict that the court will probably agree with Israel that the case was improperly brought -- but go on to address the merits anyway. It may not accuse Israel of "genocide" but will recognize some kind of vague genocidal potential and issue some non-binding rebuke.
This will be enough for Israel's critics to claim that the ICJ agreed that Israel was on a path to genocide, even if it may also allow the Israeli war effort to continue. South Africa, which actually supports Hamas's genocidal agenda, will claim victory and go back to sucking.
Today's episode is devoted to the second anniversary of the October 7 terror attacks. It was produced before the announcement of a ceasefire deal, yet remains current & relevant.
Please listen, and #bringthemhome.

This week's portion is a beautiful poem, containing the Covenant between God and the people of Israel. But given the breaking news that Hamas may actually have agreed to release all of the Israeli hostages, I will devote my remarks to that.
One hopes it is true; if so, it makes this week's additional reading, from II Samuel 22, even more relevant: David's song of praise to the Lord for delivering him from the hand of his enemies.
"18 He rescued me from my powerful enemy,
from my foes, who were too strong for me.
19 They confronted me in the day of my disaster,
but the Lord was my support."
So much to focus on this week -- and much breaking news. A peace deal in the Middle East, perhaps? Eric Adams dropping out of the mayor's race? And a looming shutdown as Democrats push their demands beyond absurdity.
