U.S. lawmakers rose to their feet with a roaring applause when Netanyahu addressed Congress on July 24. On top of the countless crimes Netanyahu committed in recent months, just last week, the International Court of Justice (ICJ) ruled that Israel’s occupation of Palestine is illegal under international law. Our lawmakers have gone beyond failing us, and we know full well the only chance of holding this genocidal maniac accountable is by taking action ourselves.
In 1974, the UN General Assembly suspended South Africa from participating in its work after unrelenting international pressure even though the U.S. and other Western nations objected. That international isolation forcibly dismantled apartheid in South Africa. We can pressure them to do the same for Palestine. The groundwork is already laid out for us since the ICJ established a ruling on Israel’s illegal settlements in Palestine. That means, even if the ICJ’s ruling on Israel is “nonbinding”, the UN General Assembly can vote to suspend Israel and send the genocidal state into international isolation. The U.S. and other imperialist nations have no veto power over this vote. This is a win we can achieve and use to further our liberation movement!
