"And no one will be happier with that outcome than the state of Israel." Well, yes and no. Because if the ICJ does not rule that it's genocide, it destroys its own credibility completely.

I cannot see how Israel can survive this for long. The US is heading for chaos itself. And all those western leaders must be looking very nervous indeed, whatever the verdict.
