"The UN’s international court of justice (ICJ) has ordered Israel to end its occupation of the Palestinian territories “as rapidly as possible” and make full reparations for its “internationally wrongful acts” in a sweeping and damning advisory opinion that says the occupation violates international law."

Good. Now seize Israeli assets, the same as Russians - and use these to rebuild Palestine.

Israel: "No."

UN: "Ok, sorry, our bad."

Israel: "We own your asses."

The only option is armed resistance without targetting civilians

How

legit, how?

Gaza is so full of people that Israel will always screech about human shields while flattening hospitals, but what should Palestinian resistance fighters do? Leave Gaza, and meet Israel on an open field? That won't end well

Impossible when the people are fighting back. Everyone looks the same when they don’t have any uniforms.

Sadly Israel hides behind human hostages frequently.

“Whose definition of occupation are we using?”

This is the best summary I could come up with:

The top United Nations court has ruled that Israel’s settlement policies and use of natural resources in the occupied Palestinian territories violate international law.

The ICJ president, Nawaf Salam, was reading out the court’s full opinion in a Friday session expected to take about an hour.

It has annexed East Jerusalem in a move that is not recognised internationally, while it withdrew from Gaza in 2005 but maintained a blockade of the territory after Hamas took power in 2007.

It submitted written comments, saying that the questions put to the court were prejudiced and “fail to recognise Israel’s right and duty to protect its citizens”, address Israeli security concerns or acknowledge Israel-Palestinian agreements to negotiate issues, including “the permanent status of the territory, security arrangements, settlements, and borders”.

Palestinian residents of the city face systematic discrimination, making it difficult for them to build new homes or expand existing ones.

The international community considers all settlements to be illegal or obstacles to peace since they are built on lands sought by the Palestinians for their state.

The original article contains 613 words, the summary contains 175 words. Saved 71%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!

The "UN Court" has zero jurisdiction and is the equivalent of a clown court.

How many courts have condemned Israel?
