The United Nations top court, the International Court of Justice, just issued a directive that Israel immediately ends its incursioninto Rafah. This ruling by the ICJ exposes a blatant bias and abandonment of its mission to be a tool of justice. It is not a court of justice or humanitarianism. It is not a court. It has become the political arm of the UN.
If the United Nations and the ICJ would like to contribute to peace in the Middle East, they would be better served working to forcethe terrorist Hamas organization to lay down its arms and release all Israeli hostages.
