President of U.N.'s top court has long history of anti-Israel bias: 'Conflict of interest'

"The controversial International Court of Justice (ICJ) is not only facing severe criticism for its Friday order declaring that Israel should stop its military offensive in Rafah to root out Hamas, but also for the well-documented anti-Israel bias of the U.N. court's presiding judge.

‘Put simply, the U.N.'s highest legal body is a political tool of global antisemitism. The presiding judge in this case was ICJ [International Court of Justice] President Nawaf Salam. He is from Lebanon, a country that does not recognize Israel’s right to exist. And in his spare time, he has tweeted such things as a meme that reads ‘unhappy birthday to you: 48 years of occupation.’ He is a politician – a rabid anti-Israel politician – dressed up by the U.N. as a judge,’ Anne Bayefsky, the director of the Touro Institute on Human Rights and the Holocaust, told Fox News Digital.

Bayefsky, a legal expert on the U.N. who oversees Human Rights Voices, said, ‘And from where did his kangaroo Court get its ‘facts’ in this case? Well, the United Nations, of course. An institution whose highest bodies – the Security Council, the General Assembly and the Human Rights Council – have never even condemned Hamas terrorists and their October 7 atrocities.’...

Israeli government spokesperson Avi Hyman said on Friday of the ICJ order: ‘No power on earth will stop Israel from protecting its citizens and going after Hamas in Gaza.’ He added, ‘We will destroy Hamas, we will return peace and security to the people of Israel and to the people of Gaza. We cannot go on with a genocidal terrorist regime on our southern border.’

Bayefsky noted how the terrorist group responded to Friday's ruling. ‘Hamas murderers and rapists themselves best articulate the standing of this ‘legal’ farce. They immediately reacted: ‘We welcome the decision by the World Court’ before referring to the Jewish state as the ‘Zionist enemy’ they intend to annihilate. So the fans of a decision purporting to be anti-genocide, are those who are openly committed to genocide. A U.N. court with friends in low places.’..."
