CHAPTER

Controversial Appointment at the International Court of Justice

This chapter examines the appointment of a new president of the International Court of Justice, highlighting her zealous Christian Zionist beliefs and past controversies including alleged plagiarism. It questions how her views might affect judicial decisions on Israel-Palestine issues and discusses the potential U.S. influence in her election amidst a backdrop of minimal media attention.

I know you have to go. Did the United States succeed in putting as the new chief justice of the International Court of Justice, an ardent fanatic Zionist? This
Speaker 1
is a great question. I mean, this is a massive scandal that mainstream media hasn't picked up on. Doesn't seem like they're going to pick up on it. But the new president of the International Court of Justice, who is a Ugandan judge named Julia Sabutinde, is not only a fanatical Christian Zionist who has based her opinions on key issues like the status of Israel's occupation of Palestinian territories on biblical passages and on her own end times theology. Like Elise
Speaker 2
the Tonic. Yeah,
Speaker 1
sure. But she's also been exposed as a plagiarist who has plagiarized large sections of her dissenting opinion, which was considered, her opinions are so bizarre that the foreign ministry of Uganda has had to come out and denounce her and say she has nothing to do with them. But she's plagiarized them from such noted enlightened sources as neocon operative Douglas Fife, the Jewish Virtual Library, and PragerU. This is, I mean, University's president is going to be ousted over plagiarism charges, I don't know how this person, Julia Sabutinde, can remain in place as the president of the International Court of Justice. And I exposed at the Gray Zone how she's a member of a Christian Zionist church, which believes that Israel is the future landing pad for the Messiah and therefore must remain an exclusively Jewish state. She said that she's learned everything from her true inspiration, her pastor in Uganda who espouses that extremist theology. This should also be disqualifying. And it's why she voted no on all the resolutions of the South African genocide case against Israel. But now she has two votes as president. So she has a tie-breaking vote. And then Judge, you raised another question. Did the U.S. engineer this? And that is a salient question because U.S. had been pushing for Lebanon to elect a new president to weaken Hezbollah. And the outgoing ICJ president, Nawaf Salam, has just been elected prime minister of Lebanon to clear space for this plagiarizing Christian Zionist fanatic, Julia Sabutindi. So what role did the U.S. play there? They certainly benefit. Probably
