But:

Fetterman "strongly supports a two-state solution in Israel and Palestine, and always has," his spokesperson told Axios. "He also strongly believes that this resolution should include language stipulating the destruction of Hamas as a precondition to peace."

G-d bless Fetterman!!!!

If a bill like this passes and Israel gets the aid, what difference does a 2SS have? The Ds will push for it either way, and the Rs won’t.

I find it very worrying that all but 2 Democrats had no issue leaving out the destruction of hamas as a precondition.

No surprise there. Democrats have a long history of this garbage, contrary to the way they pray themselves.

Kangaroo court ICJ rules against Israel.

Aharon Barak is a disgrace. What is the nationality of the one judge that ruled for Israel across the board?

Hardly, considering the purpose of this case was to have the ICJ order Israel to stop all hostilities. Instead, they ruled that Israel must not commit or incite genocide, or destroy evidence, which most level headed people should be ok with, and they must provide aid to Palestinian civilians. I think Israel can live with that.

Why did Israel select him? Who did the selection?

I believe she's Ugandan.

Why did Israel select him? Who did the selection?

From an NY Times article on his appointment. Seems it backfired slightly.

Amichai Cohen, a law professor and head of a program on national security and law at the Israel Democracy Institute, an independent research group, said the appointment of Mr. Barak was notable for two reasons.

“First of all, the appointment shows that Israel is taking the process seriously and doing what it can to succeed in it and not fail,” he said.

“The second point is the man, of course,” Professor Cohen added.

Mr. Barak’s vilification by right-wing supporters of the government’s judicial overhaul plan only strengthens his status and credibility as a judge who will rule objectively, based on the law, Professor Cohen said.

“It shows that he is an independent figure who is not an emissary of the Israeli government,” he said.

I guess from a pure Zionist (כחי ועוצם ידי) point of view it turns out that they would have been better off establishing a state in Uganda as was proposed at a certain point.

Because Zionists are hell-bent on disproving the possuk רק עם חכם ונבון הגוי הגדול הזה.

From a TOI article https://www.timesofisrael.com/israel-tasks-ex-supreme-court-chief-aharon-barak-to-serve-at-hague-genocide-hearings/

Barak’s name was suggested by the International Department of the State Attorney’s Office, backed by Attorney General Gali Baharav Miara and personally approved by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Channel 12 reported.
