A Government of Wars and Not of Men

In response to a case brought by Palestinian individuals and human rights groups against the elected management of the World Cop, a federal district court in northern California has ruled that the Israeli assault on Gaza may "plausibly" amount to genocide. On the basis of undisputed evidence and expert testimony, the judge concurred with the finding of the ICJ in the case brought by South Africa, but declared the Palestinians' suit against the federal government outside his court's jurisdiction. The Netanyahoo's attempt to declare his régime absolute from the river to the sea may have backfired for the time being, but the principle was evidently sound enough. If the World Cop and its minions are above international law, as is patently the case, they can hardly be considered answerable to mere domestics.
