Good post Kolleen and Biblical — Remember the story of Saul, a true example of man looking only at the outward appearance.
Kent, I would agree that most world “leaders” are in the camp of fire. I have watched Yuval Noah Harari as well, curious and mysterious. He is Jewish and the far left in Isreal LOVE him …. I think if we could see, we would be surprised with the turn of events and “man of sin” or “Man with a plan” as Jan says…
Something to keep our eyes on. The International Court of Justice, or ICJ, scheduled hearings on Jan. 11 and Jan. 12 related to South Africa's claim that Israel's ongoing war in Gaza amounts to genocide. Seated in the Peace Palace in The Hague, Netherlands, the ICJ is the only principal UN organ not located in New York City.
Jordan joins Malaysia, Turkey and the OIC Organization of Islamic Cooperation representing 57 ISLAMIC COUNTRIES that support South Africa’s genocide case against Israel at ICJ.
Just imagine if EVERY OTHER NATION followed suit.
Most countries also know any ruling against Israel, will be ignored by Israel.
This will be another huge brick in the growing sentiment against Israel. Right now ISRAEL is becoming a burdensome stone more and more to the world.
"A court ruling could have significant potential implications that are not only in the legal world but have practical bilateral, multilateral, economic, security ramifications”
Just the fact that Israel has said it will defend itself in court, is HUGE. Israel is reversing a decades-old policy, of boycotting the UN’s International Court of Justice and its 15 elected judges, as Israel has never shown up in years to the many cases lobbied against Israel.
Israel’s decision to defend itself at the International Court of Justice will make it harder for it to brush aside any adverse findings. It's as if these countries are just salivating at the idea of joining in via the ICJ. Like a roaring lion, seeking out Israel to devour.
Even though this is a UN "World Court", The court usually takes 1 or 2 weeks to issue a decision on emergency measures after the hearings.
The court's rulings are FINAL but it has NO AUTHORITY to ENFORCE THEM.
This will set the world on fire once the judgment is made against Israel and Israel doesn't stop "combat operations."
Take it for what it is, but this year is gonna be nuts. Can't stress that enough.
Keep watch as much of the world goes against Israel on January 11th about the same time as the Terra Carta Accelerator is to be announced by the SMI, strengthening the mandate of the UAE consensus.
