Improve The News is a free news aggregator and news analysis site developed by a group of researchers at MIT and elsewhere to improve your access to trustworthy news. Many website algorithms push you (for ad revenue) into a filter bubble by reinforcing the narratives you impulse-click on. By understanding other people’s arguments, you understand why they do what they do – and have a better chance of persuading them. **What's establishment bias?** The establishment view is what all big parties and powers agree on, which varies between countries and over time. For example, the old establishment view that women shouldn’t be allowed to vote was successfully challenged. ITN makes it easy for you to compare the perspectives of the pro-establishment mainstream media with those of smaller establishment-critical news outlets that you won’t find in most other news aggregators. This Magazine/Community is not affiliated with Improve The News and is an unofficial repository of the information posted there.

  • Nicaragua has sought the International Court of Justice's (ICJ) intervention against Germany, for alleged aiding of genocide by arming Israel in its war against Hamas in Gaza. The National
  • At the UN's top court in The Hague on Monday, Managua alleged Berlin had violated the 1948 Genocide Convention by supplying Tel Aviv with military equipment. Foreign Policy
  • Daniel Mueller, representing Nicaragua at the ICJ, warned that Israel's "unrestrained" actions, due to "indiscriminate support of states like Germany," could fuel a new Palestinian uprising. Al Jazeera (LR: 2 CP: 1)
  • Germany, which reportedly provided €326.5M ($353.70M) in military equipment and weapons to Israel in 2023, rejects Nicaragua's allegations and is expected to present its arguments on Tuesday. Dw.Com
  • Meanwhile, Nicaragua has also asked Germany to resume funding the UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees, which has been suspended since January. Al Jazeera (LR: 2 CP: 1)
  • Israel has previously dismissed allegations of genocide, arguing its forces in the Gaza Strip have been targeting Hamas terrorists, not civilians. TheTimesof Israel

Pro-Israel narrative:

  • The ICJ's handling of the genocide accusations against Israel is biased, and fails to take into consideration the complexities of Tel Aviv's intent. Moreover, there are questions about the ICJ's jurisdiction and structural imbalances. Without placing the issue in Israel's unique context, this is merely lawfare masquerading as international justice. Its implications could be profound.

Anti-Israel narrative:

  • Germany's role in enabling Israel's actions must be highlighted for the world to see. This includes arms sales and diplomatic backing. Nicaragua's submission aims to do just that, holding Berlin accountable for contributing to genocide. The case reflects broader implications for international law, accountability, and the protection of civilians in conflict zones.

Nerd narrative:

  • There's a 17% chance the International Criminal Court will bring charges against Benjamin Netanyahu before 2026, according to the Metaculus prediction community.
