Despite The ICJ ruling, Israel continues building apartheid/security wall

Two years ago the International court of Justice (ICJ) ruled that Israel’s construction of the Wall and the settlements inside the West Bank were illegal.

The international community met the decision with a yawn. Apparently, international law is only to be enforced when it benefits the United States and Israel. Actually, the wall does not benefit the United States and like many of Israel’s policies, which the US protects at the UN, it hurts the US. This is an example of what Mearsheimer and Walt are referring to when they say that the US has set aside it’s own security and interests in order to advance the interests of Israel. In large part this is due to pressure from the Israel lobby in the US.

So the wall continues to be built and it is the Palestinians who are punished by the international community for exercising their right to vote. Apparently voting and democracy is only important if they vote the way the US and Israel want them to vote.
