Well that's not strictly true. Israelis could pull their finger out of their ass and get rid of Netanyahu, the US could actually step in or any of the nuclear powers in support of Gaza could get involved. They almost certainly won't, but it could happen.
Netanyahu really is a cunt.

“No one will stop us, not The Hague, not the axis of evil and not anyone else,"
Wow, the new years in Israel took back them to 2002.
Someone tell them to don't make the American mistakes post 9/11, oh wait.... :/
- Man, that article was published October 11th. That poor guy mut feel so defeated, it's a well written article and... here we are.

If they don't want to recognize international law, maybe we shouldn't recognize them as a sovereign nation.

Genocidal maniac
- yeah, he is willing to trade the Future and wellfare of his Country for his deranged dream of a Israeli Empire.
  luckily enough the ordinary Israeli isn't that Stupid and every Experts progonoses him to be thrown out of Office.

The point of the ICJ and laws against genocide and ethnic cleansing is to protect minorities, like, say, Jews.
So if they're saying that those post WWII rules are now null and void... then there's nothing to protect them once the US Empire either withdraws or loses interest in providing cover.
- US Empire
  I also like to call my Friends "Vassals"
- I don't think international law has done much to protect Israel over the years. Israel has been attacked 4 times by neighboring countries since their inception. Maybe that's why they are the way they are when it comes to questions of security.

- Please show me one example, where Israel wants to eradicate Palestinians. And while you're at it, show me the difference between the Iraqi wars and this. Hamas and IS are pretty much the same. While I agree that both wars are fruitless and utterly stupid and based on some kind of twisted reality to fight fire with fire (not much difference between terror from Hamas or Israel at this point, same as in the Iraqi Wars) that only brings more death, destruction and despair - it is no genocide.
  And Israel ignoring international law is pretty much the same as the US, Russia and China ignoring international law. But to wear down those countries takes time, effort and a United front. While time is probably the smallest issue...effort and and united front is a whole lot more of an issue.
  
  What do you call it when you tell Palestinians to evacuate to a particular safe area as you're about to do some bombing, but then you bomb that supposedly safe area you just sent families into? What do you call it when you kill more than 10,000 Palestinian children? I mean, that kinda seems more than a little bit like wanting to eradicate Palestinians.
  But also, why did Netanyahu even want Hamas rather than the PA running Gaza in the first place?
  
  Have you even looked at any of the examples in SA’s case?
  
  GDF has a pretty good video on it if you're interested
  800+ Legal Scholars on International Law and Genocide on whether it amounts to genocide
  5 more experts on the subject
  Law for Palestine Releases Database with 500+ Instances of Israeli Incitement to Genocide
  
  That's a lot of whataboutism there mate.

If the US said they were going to stop providing military support and tech it may well stop it...

They can, they just don't want to. Impose sanctions on Israel's tech industry and restrict material imports and watch their state collapse into nothing in 2 years.
- Gaza won't exist in 2 years even with sanctions.
- Yeah, we're like the big dude watching two little girls treating each other apart while we toss them random sharp objects. We're completely fucked and don't care because what's gonna happen to us?
