Stupid publication that hates the ICJ as they know their own could be charged next.
With its case, South Africa is making a mockery of the court. Genocide requires that Israel is killing people in Gaza simply for being Palestinian. In fact it is targeting Hamas fighters in response to a deadly attack on its territory. Some far-right Israeli politicians have used hateful language, but they are not articulating government policy.
The court is filled to the brim with professionals who are more than able to determine if someone brings them nonsense. The fact that the case was not dismissed and a preliminary judgement was made indicates there could be legal merit to the case. They do not need some silly publication to “protect them”. The ICJ was founded for these kinds of cases.
I personally think that it important to shine a light on what’s going on and answer the most important question:
Does the violence by Israel provably rise to the level of genocide as legally defined?
Because if it does, it will make it a hell of a lot harder for politicians to go on TV and defend Israel.
