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.

    Don’t reply to rivermonster. Argues in bad faith and licks IDF boots super hard. Really don’t bother. Every Israel thread is filled with his apologism.

      I think it’s important that people shoot him down using actual facts and reason, then otherwise ignore him. If it keeps just one ambivalent person from believing his lies, it’s worth it. Propagandists like him rely on a lack of pushback to spread their lies.

        True. It’s important to respond not to him but to the people reading his propaganda. Also to educate them on how to refute other IDF propaganda.

        It’s pretty insane how many full on IDF trolls there are which are clearly not interested in changing their minds. Even Trump didn’t have this many trolls to defend him outside of conserve echo chambers.
