South Africa’s 84-page filing says Israel’s actions “are genocidal in character because they are intended to bring about the destruction of a substantial part” of the Palestinians in Gaza.
It asks the ICJ, also known as the world court, for a series of legally binding rulings. It wants the court to declare that Israel “has breached and continues to breach its obligations under the Genocide Convention,” and to order Israel to cease hostilities in Gaza that could amount to breaches of the convention, to offer reparations, and to provide for reconstruction of what it’s destroyed in Gaza.
There has never been anything on the scale of Israel’s apartheid. There have been things like it that are absolutely abhorrent, like South African Apartheid and it’s inspiration, Jim Crow. But there has never been such a widespread, indiscriminate, long term genocidal apartheid.
To be clear, you’re saying south Africas Apartheid which codified a racial hierarchy into law and nazi Germanys Apartheid if you want to call it that which put people in camps and slaughtering them industrially is less bad than Israel’s military occupation of Gaza? Jesus, of all the takes one could have, that’s definitely one of them…
Really amazing how all nuance is lost when you discuss Israel online.
I 100% agree with this message. No matter what you think of Israel, this is the real issue.
Does this have to be a contest?
People are bending over backwards to make it one so… Apparently?
These Hamas recruits are fucking insane man. LOL
