Israel likely to argue self-defence, focus on October 7 at ICJ: Professor


Michael Lynk, a Canadian law professor, says his “educated guess” is that Israel will show footage from the Hamas attack, arguing that it is defending itself in Gaza. “When you’re in a weak position as a lawyer representing a client, you want to try to argue your very best facts and try to get the court to focus on those and draw them…

  1. For people that argue that people are being antisemitic by criticising Israelis, they should first ask some basic questions: Is it Semitic to murder women and children being civilians, is it Semitic to steal houses and land from people, is it Semitic to not have regard for humanity and life. If these are Semitic values then I guess that the rest of the world, with the exception of United States and United Kingdom governments, is antisemitic. Furthermore the word Semitic is being used in the wrong context, the countries that are considered to be Semitic are: Israel, Syria, Lebanon, the Palestinian Territories, Jordan, the northern Sinai peninsula, some northern and eastern parts of the Arabian peninsula, southwest fringe of Turkey, and in the case of Phoenician, coastal regions of Tunisia(Carthage), Libya, Algeria and parts of Morocco. So it would seem that the most “antisemitic people” are the Israelis. They are against all of those people. Just another lie.

  2.

  3. Imagine having to live next door to murderous jihadists….

  5. Palestinians are the ones who should self-defense. They suffering from Israelis for more than 75 years. Why should Israel self-defense ?? Israel can't self-defense on someone else's land. Is this 75 years of Genocide called self-defense ??? Sickening

  6. Please thoroughly investigate what exactly happened on 7th October. One witness said her boyfriend was killed by an IDF tank. There was an Israeli helicopter that bombed indiscrimately, how many Israelis died then. 40 babies were meant to be beheaded. This was found to be fake news. Women were said to be raped. There has been denial on this too. How did Israel with its formidable surveillance system not see what was coming. Please, please investigate this properlt as Israel wants to focus on 7th October and not on what they have done since. US and UK will be defending Israel because they have supplied the weapons and supported Israel. When have they ever had to answer for their war crimes?

  7. Israel has perfected the narcisistic art of being the occupier/oppressor and oppressed at the same time. If the Israell's have right to protection from resistance from the people they oppress, and the Palestinians have a right to protect themselves against oppression from the Israeli's, this case will at least help to clarify whose rights have precedence.

  8. May Justice and freedom finally be allowed for Palestine. Many of our hearts are there with you Palestine.❤🧡💛💚💙💜🤎🖤🤍❤🧡💛💚💙💜🤎🖤❤🧡💛💚💙💜🤎🖤🤍❤🧡💛💚💙💜🤎🖤🤍❤🧡💛💚💙💜🖤🤍❤🧡💛💚💙💜🤎🖤🤍❤💛🧡💚💙💜🤎🖤🤍❤🧡💛💚💙💜🤎🖤🤍❤🧡💛💚💙💜🤎🖤🤍❤🧡💛💚💙💜🤎🖤🤍❤🧡💛💚💙💜🤎🖤🤍…etc.

  9. Its not top drawer presentation by South Africa (maybe it is) but Israel has committed genocide in broad daylight. And to make sure it is a perfect genocide, Israel made sure their actions and intents satisfied ALL the articles of the Genocide Convention. No wonder South Africa had a field day yesterday. Guilty as charged!

  10. What I would say to the prof, don't insult to our intelligence.

    Collective Punishment can not be Self defense, and the Occupier uses Hunger as a weapon of War.!!!!

    Already The who world is behind South Africans Genocide Case.

    Waiting for the verdict against Zionist Occupier.

    Viva for South Africa

  11. Self defense… of an attack caused by Israeli apartheid. Uh huh. And I am sure that those TEN THOUSAND CHILDREN were real, real scary, too. What a bunch of LOSERS.

  12. Israel has killed thousands of Palestinians without anybody noticing, every year. They have 1200 casualties and it's a "holocaust," then what about the 5k Palestinians they've killed over the last 10 years? Was that a holocaust? Do they deserve to have their homes bombed, too?

  13. It's terrifying how successful pro-terrorist organisations have been on the propaganda front since October, and it's depressing to see how many sheep are stupid enough to believe it all. Keep it up, Israel. Sane humans are with you.

  14. Israeli officials have condemned themselves out of their own mouths. They have made clear genocidal statements. If that wasn't enough, they have acted directly in line with those statements and the evidence is on the ground in Gaza's ruins, lives lost and the ongoing water, food, medical care and displacement crises that Palestinians in Gaza are and have been facing.
