This gets to the charges that the ICC covers, which includes violations of the Geneva Convention.
It also includes violations of UN treaties we signed, which includes International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination (ICERD).
We skated that line before.

Apartheid now? Palestinians are not citizens of Israel. According to the ICERD Treaty, separation is not discrimination when it involves citizens & non-citizens.

Thanks for the link. The judgement is utterly damning, not just on apartheid but on many other breaches of international law.
It is very clear that Israel’s actions amount to prohibited racial segregation and apartheid under Article 3 of ICERD.

I think it may be reported as legal violation, as per the ICERD from the UN back in 1965, it would fall under hate speech, which should be illegal in all signatory countries (including the US).
It might get them to move a bit faster if they get scared of a potential lawsuit.
