Mustafa Barghouti, the Secretary General of the Palestinian National Initiative and former Information Minister, joins Al Jazeera’s live from Ramallah and highlights that the International Court of Justice, the world's highest legal authority, has unequivocally condemned Israel's denial of the occupation. The court reaffirmed that the occupation is illegal and that the Geneva Convention applies to the occupied territories. It declared that the ongoing Israeli occupation and all settlements are unlawful and must be dismantled. Furthermore, the court has mandated that all countries respect this resolution and refrain from supporting Israel in maintaining the occupation.

    You cannot ask Palestinians to stop resisting Israeli’s illegal and inhumane occupation of Palestinian territory when the illegal occupation is still there in Palestine 🇵🇸

    ICJ is meaningless. Any court is meaningless when it's judgement can be ignored by a "guilty" party that considers the court to be biased against it. With the one exception of a resolution in 1948, declaring that a piece of territory controlled by Britain, which didn't want to control it, should be shared between two ethnic groups living there, there has not been a single UN decision in any matter involving Israel that Israel considered fair. I won't waste time giving examples. If Palestinians expect to have their demands satisfied by getting international bodies to make judgements, they have an extraordinary inability to learn from past experience. I am just barely old enough to have had the ability to understand some things when that first UN resolution happened, in 1947. And a year before that, another major conflict between Britain and a group it governed, the people of India, was settled when the Indian spiritual leader Mohandas Gandhi let a non-violent protest, shaming the British to give India its freedom. I remember the adults in my community, still in shock from the second world war, excited by this "new way" to settle conflicts without war. I also remember that India, at that time, was populated by two religious factions, Hindu and Muslim, which wanted separation from one another, by dividing the new India into two countries. Of course I didn't know, at that time, that those two countries would be constantly threatening one another for the rest of my life. But the situation in the "Holy land" in 1947 seemed very similar to the situation in India, and it was the Palestinians who apparently saw no reason to try the Gandhi approach at all.
