The ICJ case filed by South Africa I feel is the only concerted campaign I am seeing that pressuring Israel against committing genocidal settler colonialism (outside of the resistance by some Arab countries).
If ICJ is not a kangaroo court they will end up ruling their actions as genocide. The evidence is plenty.
Can any good come out of it? Or is it hot air?
While I doubt much tangible would come from such a ruling (if they will rule properly to begin with)- it will be yet another nail in the coffin for US and Israeli narratives and legitimacy worldwide- and another nail in the coffin of the ICJ and the “rules-based international order” as well, if they (predictably) rule otherwise. Whatever way it goes, I expect it will simply be another reminder to the vast majority of humanity of the true nature of the western states and elites- that the western imperialists are not existing in the same reality as the poor and colored masses they see as nothing more than vermin to be exploited or exterminated, and that all they offer the world is empty platitudes, hypocrisy, and treachery.
Maybe I’m being overly pessimistic- but I don’t see Israel likely being banned from the Olympics and various other international events, and I don’t see much cover being granted to BDS activities in the west- particularly not AmeriKKKa, which has a history of if anything, trying to force the opposite on its citizens. I don’t think it would even matter if the majority of the population in the west were anti-Israel in this regard; the veneer of democracy is already rapidly fading away, and Israel has played its cards right in lobbying and ingratiating itself into western politics to an extent that apartheid South Africa never managed.
I don’t think change will come from the imperial cores. Red Nazi, blue Nazi, or orange Nazi, all the same, all the various different Nazis love Israel and recognize its necessity as the genocidal chokehold of western influence in the region- their unsinkable aircraft carrier to permanently destabilize the Muslim world. If change will come it will come from the Arab client-states of the west breaking fully away from the devil west- from Arab, Iranian, Russian, Chinese, South African and other pan-African, BRICS, anti-imperialist actions, IMO.
