  1. It's a shame that Biden and Netanyahu are the same. Israel's war against Gaza has killed thousands of Palestinians and forced most others to flee their homes.
    Now, he will have to answer the accusations of genocide in court.
    South Africa is initiating proceedings against Israel at the International Court of Justice – the highest legal body of the United Nations.
    Although a final decision could be delayed for years, the ICJ could issue a provisional order for Israel to end its campaign in a matter of weeks. Thank you SOUTH AFRICA.
    The US and EU cut aid to the UN, but did not cut support for the Zionists.
    The US and some EU provided more aid and weapons to Netanyahu to continue with Ethnic Cleansing – 75 years of occupational slavery Israel already has 3 times more bombs than the US bombed in Hiroshima and has already spent 80% of war material on the Palestinian issue and in addition, the USA has already granted 95 billion to strengthen the war for more massacres and genocides, without forgetting enough from Germany, Italy, the United Kingdom and others in the EU. Without the help of the US, the UK, Italy and the UK, this country could never have committed such crimes against humanity in the last 75 years. HAMAS and the Palestine Liberation Movement

  2. Did africans citizens & all their ambassadors in UN conveniently forgot all GENOCIDES committed in Africa with their own people from 19th century till today, 2024 & all of you didn't did any kind of help for them.

    I suggest to all of you to search in WIKIPEDIA the following true list that appears at the site about only África and in other places like China, Rússia, SYRIA, turkey……

  3. BLINKEN KEEPS coming back to the MIDDLE EAST on the PRETEXT that the US is PUSHING for a CHANGE in the COURSE of the WAR. However, the US LEADERSHIP'S PREMISE on the CAUSE of the WAR is the same PROPAGANDA they HATCHED with the ZIONBIES WAR CRIMINALS and TERRORISTS. It's PURE BS and DOUBLE-TALK. They have been PLAYING and SINGING the same OLD TUNE, OVER and OVER again, like a BROKEN RECORD. They think they can still FOOL BILLIONS of the WORLD POPULATION into their VERSION of the ORIGINS of the CONFLICT. They are OUT OF TOUCH with REALITY. They are PARTNERS in the GAZA GENOCIDE.

  4. Remember israel is in North East Africa and the European inhabitants today are colo(niz)ers. They have no rights to lands that belong to blk & brown ppl despite their religion. Britain Balfour Decoration Agreement is why Euro-pean jew(ish) ppl are in the land today. [DNA] proves they belong to [Europe] also Genesis 10 in the (Bible) states they are children of Gomer/ Japheth (gentiles) that are trodden down the land. The times of the Gentiles to be exact which are non semetic ppl.

  5. The world needs to make a stand for justice and humanity! the Palestinian people are prisoners in their in their own country, their land was stolen, they have and still suffer injustice, displacement, genocide and starvation! it's time for justice and self-rule. Independence for Palestine!🇵🇸

  6. All three guests of the panel appear to be on the same page as far as Israel's actions are concerned. The conversation only got slightly heated when Adama Dieng of the ICC focused on explaining the procedural technicalities that were supposedly dictating the United Nation's official stance on the carnage taking place in Gaza. The other panelists felt that the United Nations has not been consistent in calling out war crimes over time. Indeed, the United Nations didn't appear to have a problem with alleging that Hamas "uses civilians as human shields," basically repeating Israel's unverified allegations. If the United Nations were consistent, it would refrain from repeating Israel's allegations until it first goes through legal proceedings. If the legal system has to determine the merit of accusations made against Israel, surely the same has to apply to allegations made against Hamas — no?

  7. Biden and Blinken are not exercising sufficient pressure on Israel to mend its ways so its up to countries like South Africa to get an independent tribunal like the ICJ to adjudicate on the matter and provide some guiding perspective

  8. Genocides are never declared in advance, but this court has the benefit of the past 13 weeks of evidence that shows incontrovertibly a pattern of conduct and related intention that justifies as a plausible claim of genocidal acts.

  9. Hamas himself to blame who started this brutal war and South Africa need to look in mirror and study history of Israel or Jewish people before you see another people in eyes first look to your own eyes

  10. So how is it that Blinken speaks for Israel in saying that action taken by Sth Africa at ICJ is 'meritless', whilst intent has been evident each and every action IDF took and continues to take.
    Heads of 4 categories under basis which can be described as 'genocide', on part of Israel, the oppressor ticks all boxes, whether Bibi likes or not.
    As textbook genocides go, this has to be underlined as such by many legal minds in full fairness, globally.

  11. SA needs to clean their own act. The clinic here in Newlands west are depriving our christian from getting the relevant treatment. Mr. President do some thing. Stop making unfounded allegations on Israel.😮

  12. Meritless says the man whom I have seen writing on Israeli bombs, subsequently used to eradicate Palestinian civilization in Gaza. The United States is clearly complicit in committing genocide, willingly supplying the Israeli apartheid regime with the means to total destruction!

  13. Oct.7th. i24NEWS and the SUN both said that it is a crime to wear the enemies uniform.
    New Lines Magazine claims that on Oct.7th 'Hamas'? were wearing IDF olive green uniforms
    with BIG HAMAS BADGES.

  14. Very strange they go around the world preaching democracy and when it comes to their doorstep democracy don't exist..
    Thank you USA is here to save the world🇮🇱🇮🇱💰💰💰

  15. @paulherring8959  Who is a dictator that I'm supporting. Putin? Have you forgotten the meaning dictatorship and democracy. Kindly go back read and come back. Putin is fighting for a more free, just and democratic world. A world that hitherto been under the thumbs of imperial western powers and their puppets in Asia! They have been stealing, killing, oppressing and denying other countries basic human rights so that they can remain on top of the world. Putin has successfully exposed that bit and the world is now very aware of what is happening
