ICJ to issue order in South Africa genocide case this week


The International Court of Justice will issue an order on South Africa’s request for provisional measures against Israel this Friday, January 26, the court said in a statement.

It’s important to note that this will not be the final ruling on the case, only on the provisional measures requested by South Africa, to “protect against…

  1. Im not sure I can take either this charge or the IDF seriously.
    They have both ignored the fact that Hamas aims are in fact explicitly genocidal, whereas Israel's are not so.
    They ignore that the war is not the sound of one hand clapping.
    Hamas war crimes and atrocities deliberately provoked and continue this war. South Afican and Judicial delegations should be required to view the entire Hamas video of their atrocities so that they understand the nation's collective trauma.
    Hamas takes no responsibilty for causing or ending this war, or even prioritizing aid and shelter for their own people.
    Hamas holds 136 Israeli civilians as hostages, drugging them, raping them, murdering them, all war crimes, and prolonged sadistic psychological torment for the entire nation of Israel.
    ICJ accepts that Palestinian civilian fatalities are accurate without any UN or allied scrutiny. There is every reason to question those numbers since there is no way to corroborate them untlil the end of hostilities, if ever. And because of an outright Hamas disinformation campaign.
    ICJ overlooks that Hamas uses civilians including children in direct hostilities, routinely putting them in harms way.
    That Hamas refuses ressonable conditions for cease fire to allow aid to reach civilians.and to release hostages.
    That UNRWA is a militant arm of Hamas inducting children into their suicidal, terrorist ideology and callously putting those children at risk. The allies have suspended funds to the organization pending investigation and criminal charges.
    Hamas Palestine leaders themselves, do not even have the courage to bring these charges face to face before the ICJ. Yet they hypocritically continue to issue criminal terrorist threats to western allies, and genocidal threats to Israel …for everybody to hear.
    And much more.
    I think the charges against Israel should be dismissed but with a cautionary message that there is a risk of vengeful hate overtaking measured war strategies.
    IMO the UN has lost its global integrity to everyone except jihadist terrorist and antidemocratic countries who bankroll Hamas.
    Personally, I believe UN leadership and organizations lack balance, intellectual depth and courage. Even their mission statements are sometimes ideologically scripted and vapid.
    Trust me, I am a politically left leaning retired social worker. I'm not anti religion or anti Islam..yet am far from being a fundamentalist, right wing activist.
    That's not where I'm coming from. So don't make hasty assumptions .

  2. The UNRW AID organization…which Israel is supposed to assist…is teaching children to hate Israel and help Hamas war operations. All on tape and audio.

    ISIS did this in Afghanistan, as depicted in the disturbing movie , 'American Sniper'.

    Hamas recruits and pays children to spy and inform on Israeli troop positions and evidently more, putting them in harms way, then paints IDF as child killers.
    Hamas did this before the war, recruiting kids and adult civilians to lob stones, grenades, molitov cocktails at IDF soldiers and vehicles, in high risk and suicidal behaviours. Please people, don't try this in America…police here dont take kindly to it either.
    Then Hamas complains how inhumane are the IDF troops.
    Hamas is ever ready to butcher and sacrifice their own people and even their own children. ..then blame Israel. These are not rational actors. These are not logical or justifyable 'resistence' activities.
    So , instead of cutting funding to Israel, the allies have cut funding to a UN aid group.
    "The United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) has fired 12 aid workers accused of involvement in the Oct. 7 attacks in Israel, and has launched an investigation. (only 12?)
    U.N. Secretary-General António Guterres said yesterday that he was "horrified" by the allegations and that those found to have been involved would be referred for potential criminal prosecution.
    Australia, Finland, Italy and the U.K. joined the U.S. and Canada today in suspending funding to the agency. UNRWA employs about 13,000 Palestinians and runs schools and shelters and distributes aid across Gaza."
    NBC ONLINE

    If you think this is a productive form of 'resistence, then you are too far gone to be taken seriously.

  3. 😐 South Africa should be one of the last places to talk about genocide or human rights racism anything other than fixing it’s own views of people. Let’s take a look into there history .. ohh that’s the past let’s look at the present .. where do mainly the South African blacks live .. (the argument you’ll say is it’s like that in America) again I implore you to do more research.. this is absolutely the last country that needs to talk about this

  4. ICJ = Hamas Terrorists, the UN have over 3000 people in Gaza supporting hamas. Palestinians have access to humanitarian aid yet hamas keep them away from it with weapons.
    Hamas are playing you fools so well.
    Hamas started this mess and are keeping it on going and forcing Palestinians to die.

  5. felt pretty good for me to hear in court terms when the "provision measures" were read out loud to prevent genocide
    First provision measure which was voted 15/2 majority in favor to military must uphold under section 2 a to d (which basically is a "ceasefire" to the CIVILIANS that also means if you identify as Hamas or join that for example you are not protected meaning military operations are to be only direct from now on)
    Genocide act 2a) to d) is in comments so no more women who need birth out of hospitals, no more intent to cause bodily harm to the "group" which in this case are Palestinians, no more cause of mental and destruction of collective group things like schools, hospitals, and hertiage and housing. Killing of group like children, women to Palestinians.
    Second provision measures 16/1 in majority favor to allow all humanitarian aid to go through
    Third provision measures 15/2 majority to do measures to prevent and punish those to uphold Genocide act 2a) to d)
    And 15/2 majority says Isreal must come back in one month to show how they have done so.
    All the ICJ parties and nations under its courts are obligated to uphold and protect the measures of these provisions

  6. What hamas did was horrible…

    What Israël is doing right now is equally horrible…

    Hamas committed mass murder..

    Israel is commiting mass murder…

    Hamas killed innocent civilians…

    Israel is killing innocent civilians…

    Who is right and who is wrong ?

    Is it justified to bomb 2,5 million people out of their homes in response to a terrorist attack ?

    Is what Israël is doing right now the only way for them to respond or is Israel using the Hamas terrorist attack to destroy the entire palestinian population in order for them to finaly fulfill their life long dream… To create a Jewish state on palestinian land.. 😢😢

    To me it sure starts to seem like that..

  7. we now know who owns this kangaroo court of bull excrement. If they have have to stop their genocide it means they've engaged in one… DUH! Israel is indeed a HUGE MISTAKE of the U.N. and the U. K.. Blood is just as much on their complicit hands. TRUTH MATTERS

  8. just listened to the findings..1st must allow aide into Gaza, and 2nd no cease fire from Israel…in other word continue thew campaign and allow them to lick there wounds….total farce, and these people at this gearing are just as criminal as the IDF and its accessory allies

  9. Israel was a Prophet sent by Allaah and so is a State of Satan and not Israel. The Zionist Jews are Known for Killing the Prophet's of their Lord and Most Greediest of People. Cursed by Eesa ibn Mariam, (Jesus son of Mary). The Messenger of Allaah the Exalted and Most High.

  10. If this doesn’t come through, I think people will question everything they really believed in the modern world, the civilised world, and how we govern ourselves and the laws and justice, because people will actually believe it’s just a lie or further common man or just controlling people, because if it’s really the law then should be upheld some, but if it’s not then, obviously I’m just shows that the whole world does not really run by law justice so why would any common man want to follow it

  11. Today should be a momentous day, today we will see if there is still law and morals in the world or if the evil Israelis and their supporters have completely corrupted all the world’s institutions.

  12. There is one thing that everyone is overlooking. Israel is not just occupying Palestine militarily. They are also an occupying force in terms of government policy in the US GOVERNMENT, along with the allies of French government, UK government, German government etc…… How can we expect justice? They control the UN with veto power, they control UNHR, they control ICC, they control ICJ AND THE LIST GOES ON. How can we the people, expect justice? All of them are biased and complicit in this 75 year old atrocity.

  13. This Court is dealing with and about white people, therefore little or no change should be expected. Let us not be fooled here as history is our best judge when deciding on bigotry. If this was about black people the Court would easily find and issue swift orders which the Security Council would enforced immediately. Talking of hypocrisy and double standards = white supremacism.

  14. How shameless are our leaders and the governments. In three months an illegal and terrorist state of Israel had killed or murdered more than 25,000 innocent civilians and 10,000 children and thousands and thousands of injured severely, and our shameless leaders are not able to decide whether it is a genocide or not, this is the height of the hypocrisy of the western culture, because this genocide is committing by their Criminal Friend , after more the 25,000 innocent civilians killed still the European leaders don’t want to accept it a genocide and the president of US is doubtful about, not enough killing of innocent civilians by his buddy Terrorist State of Israel
    This leaders are not human beings nor even animals but they are beasts of our times. This leaders have no morals, ethics or decency. This are shameless war mongers. And all those who support and say we stand with the Criminal State of Israel are WAR CRIMINALS OF OUR TIME the people of all those countries should put their leaders on trial of war crimes as a partner in the genocide of innocent civilians in 21 Century.

    Hamas is not an organization or military it’s an Ideology that Palestine freedom fighters believe and that is called Hamas A FREEDOM FIGHTER , and every Palestinian have the right to arms struggle against the occupiers. You can destroy the building and the lives of Palestinian, but with every lost of life four New Hamas members are born and they are more strong and resilient to attack Israel for next 100 years.
