“There are now about 30 countries against Israel… the Lord is counting on me to stand on the side of Israel. The whole world was against Israel, including my country,” Justice Sebutinde said on August 10 at Watoto Church during the launch of a new ministry for members aged 55 and above, known as Golden Legacy, where she is a member.

Speaking further, Justice Sebutinde revealed that around the time of the ruling, the ICJ was due to hold elections for its leadership, including the vice president’s position, which she sought. She said that due to the uproar over her judgment, she almost withdrew from the race but felt compelled by God to continue. “A few days before the judgment, there were going to be leadership changes. I wanted to be the vice president. On the morning of the election, your peers elect you.

Justice Sebutinde, now serving her second and final nine-year term at the ICJ in the Netherlands, says the current crisis in Gaza was a sign of the “End Times” foretold in the Bible, urging Christians to remain vigilant.

“There is something I want to share. I have a very strong conviction that we are in the End Times. The signs are being shown in the Middle East. I want to be on the right side of history. I am convinced that time is running out. I would encourage you to follow developments in Israel. I am humbled that God has allowed me to be part of the last days,” she said.

      From Wiki:

      She was accused of plagiarizing large parts of her dissenting opinion from pro-Israel sources,[25][27] as well as plagiarism from Wikipedia and the BBC. According to political scientist, Norman Finkelstein, “at least 32 percent of Sebutinde’s dissent was plagiarised”, including from writings from Douglas Feith.[28]

      The plagiarism includes multiple sentences that are identical with the column, The Forgotten History of the Term “Palestine”, by Douglas Feith, such as “In 135 CE, after stamping out the second Jewish insurrection of the province of Judea or Judah, the Romans renamed that province ‘Syria Palaestina’ (or Palestinian Syria). The Romans did this as a punishment, to spite the ‘Y’hudim’ (Jewish population) and to obliterate the link between them and their province (known in Hebrew as Y’hudah).”, appearing almost identical to Feith’s writing.[27] Furthermore, Sebutinde also wrote "When the distinguished Arab American historian, Professor Philip Hitti, testified against the Partition of Mandatory Palestine before the Anglo-American Committee in 1946, he remarked: ‘There is no such thing as ‘Palestine’ in history; absolutely not.’ ", a sentence that is almost identical to a page from the Jewish Virtual Library.[25][27] Other sources that Sebutinde allegedly plagiarized from include a PragerU video from conservative activist David Brog, the Wikipedia page on the Yom Kippur War, a written statement from the International Association of Jewish Lawyers, a statement from Fiji’s submission to the ICJ, and a 2016 paper by Abraham Bell and Eugene Kontorovich.[28]

        The entire Western “justice” system is ran by incompetent clowns, promoted solely based on their servitude to power. We’re seeing plenty of it in the US Surpreme Court as well.
