Yeah - which of Israel's neighbours has a better Demcracy Index? (none)

Supplementary Q - which Muslim country has a better Decomcracy Index? (none)

Grimace and tapdance to that, Reichsminister für Volksaufklärung und Propaganda, Joseph Gobbers.

Do you think the US is a democracy?

The USA elects a King every 4 years who has total power
under executive orders to do anything -
even start wars.

Get off the fence you fair weather fool before you do your tackle a mischief.

OK - in Israel -

Bibi is a star and when you're a star they let you do it,
you can do anything:
grab them ...
start wars,
totally level Gaza to the ground leaving it as a pile of smoking rubble.

Israel rises.
Islam falls.
...this is truth of the Future, since the New Worlds came onto the scene.

When Italy & Greece genocide the unarmed wandering Muslims (after they genocided France, to die for Islam's sins) in their tens of millions.
The World chants "Horray!"

Israel says "Now how do you like it - being persecuted?!"
...I suppose you want Israel to come and save your Muslim arses, because nobody else is (?!). Huh

Wombatwoody wank is an absolute idiot. Grin

The International Court of Justice (ICJ; French: Cour internationale de justice, CIJ), or colloquially the World Court, is the principal judicial organ of the United Nations (UN). It settles legal disputes submitted to it by states and provides advisory opinions on legal questions referred to it by other UN organs and specialized agencies.

So not a court, really, just mediator with ZERO legal force.

Like the rest of the UN.

opinions are like assholes

What is the verdict of a trial if not the opinion of the judge or the jury?

A national judiciary has a national law enforcement arm, ya daft tit.

The UN has no law enforcement arm.

WTF is wrong with you? (I know, don't say it)
