Would love to see this used in future headlines. "Most moral army in the world kills civilians hiding in a church" or "Most moral army in the world bombs refugee camp" or maybe most poignantly, "Most moral army in the world convicted of genocide"

“Most moral army in the world kills white flag waving hostages they were purported to be rescuing”
"Most moral army in the world fires rocket artillery at journalists in a neighboring country for the crime of using a tripod."
Unfortunately the ICJ has no enforcement mechanism. The upshot is that the ICC does, and they're investigating the conflict as well.
Main benefit is putting pressure on allies, especially the US, to stop sending weapons etc. Israel might not give a fuck but the US does. I think that's why Israel is worried about the whole thing.
Canada's PM Trudeau says that they will abide by the ruling of the ICJ case. Before they didn't want to get the side-eye from big bro US so they mostly want along with their anti-violence but unconditionally pro-Israel stance until recently.

The ICC is also not a UN body and, notably, lacks the membership of the most powerful geopolitical players (the USA, China, Russia, India) as well as much of Asia, the Middle East, and Africa.
It's useless.
If you've been called before a Genocide hearing, you don't have a moral army. Full stop.
Referring to any group of people who's job it is to kill other groups of people as "moral" seems like a bit of an oxymoron to me. I get that the scale can tip really fucking far to the evil side but how close to the good side is it even possible to get?
I’m genuinely not trying to be rude with this:
referring to any group of people who’s job it is . . .
Whose* job it is
Thank you for coming to my ted talk
Who is job?

I see nothing immoral in having an army to defend your country if invaded
Yeah but Israel is a colony, so they kind of are the occupiers
Correct
Sorry if I came off ~~cunty~~ tendentious, I work in defense fwiw I just have a lotta hot takes
Maybe they were "just following orders".
Given the soldiers that killed unarmed hostages against the order of their field commander they're not even doing that.
Tell that to the hundreds of thousands of Gazans who are starving to death as a result of the actions of the Israeli army.
Yes these 20000 , 50% underage population living in a constration camp for many years because they refused to leave their lands absolutely deserves what happened to them.... /s
"Most moral army in the world?"
That doesn't even make sense. Just going full trumpian, not only am I not guilty of what you accuse me off, I am the most opposite of that in the entire world. It's about as believable for them as it is when Trump says it. What on earth is their strategy here? I mean rhetorical question I guess, strategy is just spewing BS it seems.
Pretty stirring indication it's a fascist/authoritarian state...
Maybe people have seen what all this fake news bullshit has done. Now you can just tell any lie you want, and anyone who says otherwise is fake or a lie.
Most moral army in the world slaughters human shields. More at 11
I think they meant morel, like the mushroom. That makes more sense
The most moral army in the world? Top 3 are for sure Kiwi, Costa Rican, & Swiss
Israeli wouldn't even be in the top 150 lmao
Swiss are too busy laundering money for despots and criminals to commit war crimes
Switzerland: "You better hope we send our army at you instead of our banks"
Ha, nice. I see what you did there.
For others in case they do not know:
Something tells me the most moral army in the world wouldn't be part of a genocide hearing.
Damn, I guess this was all just a big misunderstanding.
Most moral army before and during the war for real. If morals were child murder.
The most moral army in the world? They use the Hannibal protocols, which say to kill hostages so long as you kill your enemy.
They are blood thirsty monsters.

This is what the most moral army in the world looks like
