  Australia’s freedom as it is today relies on the rules courts like these attempt to uphold. When Israel pisses on these conventions and courts, they piss on our freedom as well.

    No it doesn’t? Our freedom relies on our alliance to Europe and America, if China invades the ICJ will be about as useful as a lollipop stuck up a goats butt.

      ‘Might is right’ is the world your wishing for. It isn’t the world you’ve lived in. ‘Might is right’ means Australia will fall under the extreme coercive control that you saw of a client state in such power relations as the USSR. The Post War American led consensus was not that, we are now at risk of it becoming that, and the actions of Israel have help along that emergent future.

      You know i’m no fan of many of the USA’s activities, not only under this latest administration, but up until now there has been a self imposed, self limitation by powers like the US that allowed for the freedoms Australians have enjoyed in living memory. The impunity with which Israel has been treated also breaks that dynamic.

        Not what I’m wishing for, it’s what exists?

        What you’re wishing for is some sort of international world police? but this has never existed or had any real power
