  1. South Africa led by a Genocidal ANC Regime which has plundered the country for their own personal gain and advocated for actions to legitimize the confiscation of White owned farms and Businesses whilst doing nothing to uplift the Blacks they profess to represent. How dare the ICC give such a country legitimacy against Israel. SHAME ON THEM FOR NOW BEING COMPLICIT IN LEGITIMIZING THE ANC SUCH A DESPICABLE REGIME

  2. this courts orders are binding…imidiately followed by … it doesn't have any power of enforcement

    … so yeah that means it isn't binding in the slightest

  3. Never forget.

    The advocate that brought the case against Israel is the SAME arsehole who defended the right of the leader of South Africa's third biggest party, and that of blacks generally, to sing about genociding white people while there is ongoing ethnic cleansing of whites from rural areas.

    This is the same country which has provided cover for Russia's invasion of Ukraine in the UN, and allowed a Russian cargo ship to dock in its main NAVAL BASE for two and a half days while military cargo was loaded aboard in the dead of night AFTER the invasion of Ukraine.

    The Minister of International Relations and Cooperation, the same woman who stood on the steps of the ICJ basking in Western plaudits, paid a visit to Iran on 22 October last year, where the leadership of Iran thanked her for South Africa's position on Palestine. Her party recently hosted a HAMAS delegation (not a PALESTINIAN AUTHORITY delegation, a HAMAS delegation) in South Africa as recently as December.

    And, finally, in the last few months, the ruling African National Congress, a staunch Russian and Soviet ally, which has seen numerous headlines printed about its woeful finances over the last couple of years, including the inability to pay its own staff and contractors, has miraculously resolved its financial problems just in time for an election where it is likely to lose its majority for the first time.

    As a South African, it will not surprise me in the SLIGHTEST if, in the coming years, it is discovered that Russian or Iranian money found its way into the coffers of probably the most corrupt government in Africa, if not the planet, in exchange for bringing the case against Israel which even ARAB countries neglected to do.

  4. God bless South African-USA is a bullying predator racist corrupt bully with Hollywood; South Africa should not give into their bullying tactics and should take Israeli into international court to charge them with crimes war crimes against humanity and genocide

  5. Nice one South Africa 🇿🇦 now what about those riots you had in south Africa 🇿🇦 few years back… remember? Where there was a call for the looting, destruction of property and to the killings of white people or of Indian people. What happened there. Did those people get compensated in any shape, way or form. Before you point the finger. Point it at yourselves…. hypocrisy

  6. The following supplication only takes a minute inshallah…

    Laa ilaaha ill-allaahu, waḥdahu laa shareeka lah, lahul-mulku wa lahul-ḥamdu, wa huwa ‛alaa kulli shay’in qadeer

    “None has the right to be worshipped except Allah, alone, without partner. To Him belongs sovereignty and all praise and He is over all things omnipotent.”

    Oh Allah, our Creator, Al Jabr, Al Qudus, Al Qawyi.. to You belong the best and most beautiful names. You alone we worship and trust, and to You alone we call out to and return ya Al'Hai Al'Qayum… Blessings and salutations on our noble Mursaleen, their families and their companions – may our entire Ummah be true followers of Your Religion and of Your chosen leaders and enjoy the intercession of Rasul'ul Allah s.a.w.

    La hawla walla quwata ila bilah – Pour in our hearts the neverending concern and objective of pleasing You, Al'Wadud and envelope us in Your Love in the ways that befit Your Majesty. Make taqwa be the center of our existence at all times, and provide us with all that we need to pass our tests delightfuly and to see and appreciate the wisdom behind them.

    Lord of the Book, make Your words our home, our healing and our true love today and every day till the Day of Judgement. Forgive us, transform us, comfort us and make us from those whom gain closeness to You in this life and enjoy Your Company in all its Majesty in the akhira.

    Ya Al'Muhaymin, raise every aspect of our faith individually and as an Ummah… strengthen us ya Rabbi – bring victory upon us and honor those who have suffered and fought most. Ya Al'Haseeb, retaliate against our enemies – our brothers and sisters are tired, starving, living under conditions that barely shelter them, going through all kinds of abuse – they have not stopped suffering, sacrificing, bleeding and have been dying under la ilaha il Allah – when they hurt, we hurt too… when one of them dies a part of us dies too, and as their situations worsen our hearts can't find more pieces to break into ya Rabbi… You know our pain best – we are in desperate need of any good You, and only You, can bring to fruition Lord of the Throne – show us life and death as it is meant for us and honor us as believers granting us victory in this life and for eternity, enta Subhannah.

    Ya Al'Muntakim, please guide, reward and show all Your forms of love and mercy to  our brothers and sisters in humanity who support us and have supported us beautifully and unselfishly – they have raised their voices establishing what is right and fighting against injustice… ya Allah, they have done more for us than we ever expected, by Your permission ya Allah. Shame and disgrace upon the hypocrites and the cowards, and grace and blessings upon those who stand and have stood  courageously with us throughout the decades of injustice.

    Ya Al'Haadi, please shelter every human being from all that displeases You and make The Straight Path our home and our way of life while we are here. Increase us in knowledge and steer us clear from that which does not benefit us. Ya Al'Mu'izz, inject in us the ability to recognize the truth and to distinguish it from falsehood… allow us to see what is true and grant us the ability to accept it as the truth and endear it to us by making what is false appear to us as false, indeed – keep it away from us and us from it, to You alone we supplicate and in all aspects of Islam do not let us procrastinate.

    Oh Allah Jella Jalaluhu, You know everyone's needs best and You are the Best of Planners, so fulfill them lovingly and make us content and grateful with what You decree. Beautify our Qadr and fashion it the way You are best pleased, praised and thanked by us as Your slaves – shape it to transform our lives into constant improvement and blessed contentment. Ya Al'Hakim, help us love what You love and hate what You hate… Endear us to what is best for us – illustrate the perfection of Your Plan in ways we can appreciate and understand – eliminate what we should avoid and don't find peace in and enhance what we should embrace and actively engage in.

    Oh Owner and Turner of All Hearts, keep ours connected to You ♡ cover us in Your grace, Your comfort, Your light and provide us with ease whilst You know the true pain behind our wounds… and in this strengthen us to bare patience, remind us of the beauty in pleading to You for guidance, love, forgiveness and victory for You are the All Encompassing, Our Creator, the Most High.

    Ya Al'Latif allow us to feel Your Presence throughout our every step.. especially during the blessed time ..provide us with deep understanding, free us from ignorance and debt and cleanse our sustenance by supplying us with the highest of halal opportunities in all their forms, You are Al'Razak. Do not deprive us from fulfilling all 5 Pillars during our life time nor from visiting Your Holy Lands, and gift us with the priviledge of enjoying the end of our days in the one You choose for us.

    Oh Allah Azzawajjal free Your creation from all forms of suffering, lead us into tawba and the wisdom of asking for forgiveness and the nobility of forgiving, You are Al'Afuw. You are the most Forgiving, and You love to forgive, so forgive me, ya Rabbi…Ya Al Aziz, return Your Masjids to Your rightful servants during our lifetime. Inject in our minds, hearts and souls knowledge from You from the best of Your Resources and establish in us the wisdom and the ability to act upon It with pure excellence for our benefit and solely to please You. Protect our ulamah by keeping their teachings alive and help us as life-long students apply what Your Quran and our Nabi's Sunnah have established, for us and all future generations, You are Ar'Rashid.

    Oh Al Mutakabbir, elevate our status and purify our past, our present and our future… make us and our descendants from amongst those that perfected Your Religion, and grant us victory on that Day. We beg You Allah Ghafur AlRaheem for forgiveness for our sins… all of them… wipe our accounts clean and fill them with abundant mandalas of good deeds to receive our book on our right hand and allow us to be from among Your pious allies… a Sabiqun, a Sabiqun.

    Ya Al'Mujeeb, attach our hearts, minds and souls to Your Message and grant us the incomparable gift of memorizing Your Words, the Quran… do not let us forget the sacrifices that were made in order for humanity and the universe to have access to IT… nor to forget those whom You selected to accomplish Your Mission. Cultivate in us the honor of learning Your surahs inside out, and please bestow upon us the miracle of living each ayah, as the best generations once did. Make us from those who benefit from the supplications You chose to prescribe in IT – and remind us day and night that this is Your Script.

    Oh Allah we seek refuge in Your perfect words from every fitnah, from the simplest to the most dangerous… including from the trials of the Dajjal and the end of times… and every form of evil You have created… every devil, every jinn, every human being, especially those whom do not intend good for us and our loved ones, every vermin, every illness, from misguidance and ingratitude, laziness and debt, from the evil eye and the evil within our own selves and the consequences of our shortcommings, and protect our Ummah from Shaytaan and his agenda against humanity at large.  Allahuakbar!

    La ilaha illa enta' Subhana! Please purify, strengthen and unite the true Muslim Family and the Muslim Ummah in ways that exceed our expectations and envelope our hearts and souls. Protect us from the hypocrites and those whom wish to harm us in any way. Surround us by those whom will be of benefit to us in Your Rememberance and keep those who have forgotten and refuse to worship You away from us. Keep our children and all of our future generations muslim, righteous, proactive, content, healthy and safe under our care whilst we all recognize that it is You Who loves, provides, nourishes, sustains, protects and supports us in every way. Endear true believers to one another to the point where we want to contribute towards each other's peace with the best of manners and Islamic ethics – make those closest to us the coolness of our eyes and remind us to remain patient and consistantly practice gratitude, You are Ash'Shakoor.

    Ya As'Sabur, we utterly thank you for being an endless source of goodness despite our sins – we supplicate to You alone and recognize that every blessing comes from You, so put Barakah in everything we receive from You and in everything we do – no one else can.

    Grant us the strength and the wisdom You deem fit to endure what we may find difficult and beautify the trials You have set for us, Rabbi in order to tackle each of them with love and sincerity, You are Al'Haqq. Ya Al'Haleem save us from ourselves, the effects of the evil eye, the trials of the end of times, the punishment of the grave and the punishment of the fire and make jahanam haram for us at all times. May our names be called from all 8 of Your gates, and may we all be upgraded to Jannah tul Firdeous with Your Company and that of the most noble of creatures. Save us and comfort us on That Day, You are Al'Malik.

    Ya Al'Mumeet, grant us a purified blessed death upon being submitted to You, after uttering the most sincere 'la ilaha il Allah' , and aid us in answering the 3 questions that define our destiny. Ya Rabbi, turner of that which ignites the human core by Your Majesty, cleanse our hearts until they are in a true state of purity and submission to You, before taking us back to You in totality. Unite us with those whom You love most upon the resurection and enter us into every level of Jannah until we are able to finally enjoy YOU in Al Firdeous… let us be honored by Your Glorious company forever and ever… We know and recognize that Your Message and Your Promise is true.

    Amin, amin ya Rabbi Alameen
