How Israel rejected genocide claims at the International Court of Justice | DW News


Israel wrapped up its defense against genocide charges on a second day of hearings at the International Court of Justice in The Hague. The defense team strongly rejected the case brought by South Africa. It told the court that Israel was not trying to destroy the Palestinians, but to protect its own people – in its war against Hamas, which many…

  1. South Africa – the same country that is in bed with Russia, turning a blind eye to indiscriminate attacks on the Ukrainian people, has no credibility. These South African politicians line their pockets with their people’s money and others, see being “justice warriors” as the means to justify their continued power in a country that is falling apart.

  2. Israel defence was a disaster. But I am not blaming their team. Even the best lawyers cannot make the millions and millions people watching what is happening in Palestine with all the content being uploaded online.

    Having said that a South Africa case was amazing. They really presented their case by considering not only the judges but also everyone who wanted to watch the trial. They put it in simple words, reasonings and illustrations and arguments to describe the atrocities being committed for everyone to be able to follow and understand. I recommend everyone to watch both teams (the SA and the Israeli one). It is less than 6 hours in total and it is very interesting and historic to learn many things about international law.

    German government embarrassed itself on the world stage though. I hope people will only condemn the government and not it’s population. Germans deserve better than what they currently have.

  3. I really wish the people here will state what sources they learn from and how many years they studied the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Too many ignorant people living thousands of miles away from it, who saw 2.5 dubious TikTok videos and think they are experts. Gosh..

  5. It’s hard to convince the world that China and Russia are immoral country when America and it’s allies have set the standard of morality so low by there own actions, double standard and hypocrisy.

  6. The coverage was mediocre if not vious bias. For example the pro genocide statements made by israek government officials were made by the prime minister, the president, the soldiers that sing that they are there is not non involved innocent civilians, members of the Legislative of Israel and ministers. Also you nearly not talk about the south African accusations only Israel defence. You don't mention that Israel defence not avoided constantly answer the factual cuestion if they make genocidiak actions in gaza ans instead they say that Hamas did which is no relevant because this case is about israel and if they have proves why don't denunce Hamas.

  7. Israel's defence:

    -"But Hamas!" (South Africa has condemned Hamas since the first minute)
    -"We are defending ourselves" (already denied by facts and speeches shown by South Africa)
    -"It takes statements out of context!" (hard to take out of context calls to deny a whole people food and water and equating them to a biblical people that was wiped to the very last one woman and child)

    Israel is not getting away with this. The fact so many open calls for genocide by Israeli politicians went unanswered, while Arab citizens get arrested for social media likes, speaks volumes of how much the institutions are compromised on this genocidal spree

  8. There are around 24k people killed in gaza. If almost half of them (israeli claim) are Hamas militants, and we know with no doubt that Hamas uses its own people as human shields, than is it a genocide?
