South Africa on Friday launched a case for the ICJ stating that Israel was in breach of its obligations under the Genocide Convention and calling for a halt to its military operations in Gaza.

“The State of Israel will appear before the International Court of Justice at The Hague to dispel South Africa’s absurd blood libel,” spokesman Eylon Levy told an online briefing.

“We assure South Africa’s leaders, history will judge you, and it will judge you without mercy,” he added.

Levy said that Hamas bore full moral responsibility for the war and was “waging from inside and underneath hospitals, schools, mosques, homes and UN facilities”.

He added that South Africa was complicit in Hamas’ crimes against Israelis, without elaborating.

    The ANC government are a bunch of corrupt tools who choose things when it fits them. They don’t like the west but like the western lifestyles with looted money.

    It seems strange that they side with Russia invading Ukraine but choose to show support for Palestine in a “similar” situation. I am also not sold that the ANC don’t have deeper ties with terrorist organisations such as Hamas.

    Meen while they spend all this effort on other countries issues when South Africa has one of the highest murder rates in the world. I think last year was like 29 000. Would love it if they could spend this amount of effort to sort out their own house.
