Interestingly, an increasing number of states are showing their dissatisfaction with the global system that seems to be biased against not only Israel, but all states based on Western liberal values. Argentinian President Milei stated clearly in his UN speech in September that his country demands reform of the UN system. President-elect Trump has announced also dissatisfaction with the global system. The response to yesterday’s ICC decision shows that a number of other Western states – such as Czech Republic, Hungary and Germany – are sceptical of the decisions of the international courts.
Israeli commentator Caroline Glick commented on these developments:
“The institutions formed in the wake of World War II to create and preserve a liberal, international rules-based order never worked the way they were supposed to work. But today, they are no longer simply feckless, corrupt and dysfunctional. They are malign and dangerous. Rather than advance freedom, human rights and life, they serve tyranny, terror and murder. The system is beyond repair.”
She is right. Israel and the Jewish people are – as always – the canary in the coalmine.
