    So this has to be a US diplomatic campaign. I don’t think Japan has much in the way of Israeli entanglements.

    This is violating the ICJ’s legally binding order to allow humanitarian aid into Gaza. By cutting off funding the pro Israel countries are effectively complicit in supporting Israel’s genocide.

          Even if that were true, which it isn’t, Japan isn’t a party to the ruling. They can choose to donate their own money (or not) however they want.

          I suggest you read the actual ruling and dissenting opinion, they’re quite informative.

            Japan isn’t a party to the ruling but it is a signatory to the genocide convention as are the other countries that have withheld funding so they have an obligation not to make the situation worse.

            It’s a morally depraved act.
