South Africa makes urgent request to ICJ on Israel’s Rafah offensive


The government of South Africa has asked the International Court of Justice (ICJ) to consider whether Israel’s plan to extend military operations in Rafah “requires that the court uses its power to prevent further imminent breach of the rights of Palestinians in Gaza”.

It said in a statement that “the Court may at any time decide to…

  1. South Africa their are Wasting their time. they should invest their time to fight the corruption in their own countrie. I want to point out this Not a war between Muslim and Jews. This is Not even a war Arabs against Jews. This is a palestinian Jewish problem

  2. I don't know of any other army in the world except the Israeli one that warns its own population 48 hours in advance and tells them go here and there and you'll be safe because it's not in Israel's interest for civilians to die. And I want to point out that the Israeli government has given the people of Gaza 48 hours to tell the population living in Gaza where to move so that people don't die.

    That means the Israeli army is taking 2 or probably another day
    And tell the people of Gaza go here and there and you won't be wounded or killed as a civilian population by the attacks. I don't know of any other country in the world that does something like this except the Israeli army.

    For 2 reasons:
    1. Because it is not in Israel's interest for the civilian population to suffer.
    2. Because Hamas hides in this civilian population, i.e. the terrorists, always make their headquarters in residential areas so that one can say again that Israel is to blame for everything.

  3. The ICJ ruled against SA. Get your own house in order South Africa. You are not in a position to dictate to any other country. Poverty, crime, CORRUPTION is in the order of the day. You are no different than Hamas…shame on you!!

  4. South Africa is the laughing stock that nobody takes serious anymore.
    First they let Omar Al-Bashir go, then they endorse Putin and now they support Hamas terrorists.

    They should spend more effort on sorting out load shedding and bring crime levels down in our lovely country.

  5. Is there a saying "önce a fool. always a fool"? ANC loses another case at the ICJ. Ramaphosa and his cronies always embarrass the people of South Africa with his stupidity and alignment with international terrorists and communists.

  6. A new documentary by former Meta executive Sheryl Sandberg shows the sexual abuse committed by Hamas on October 7th, as some hostages are beginning to speak out for the first time.

  7. It is about time someone did something about the breach of humanitarian laws that Israel is conducting against innocent civilians and babies with impunity!this acts of atrocities from starvation to mass killings can no longer be tolerated worldwide! A positive step yet again by South African government who despite their opposition party are doing its utmost to end this genocide. It cannot be ruled out as ‘non-genocide’-they are trying very hard not just to drive people out of their own homeland but killing all members of one family at a time. The Israelis (IDF)and their leaders are still using words like ‘eliminate’, ‘wipe out’ and ‘finish the job’! These expressions themselves tell the tale. They are genocidal and criminal! Nothing can justify what Israel is doing. As to the issue of calling Hamas a terrorist when they have won the elections -a party that wins an election is a legitimate party and must therefore exist. These members of such party cannot be persecuted as without them the resistance forces to this brutal wars are over and the act of self-defence would have been obfuscated and stripped off from them.Palestinians have the right for self defence and the right to resist this brutality and criminality by any means possible. The ICJ must at this stage bring Netanyahu and his cabinet under arrest and any other complicit parties in this genocide!

  8. With all due respect to the young presenter, it is always best to tell it like it is. What we are looking at in Rafah is perhaps the final part of what Israel has obviously planned as their very own version of Adolf Eichman's "Final Solution", only here, it is to be applied to the once proud, highly educated and cultured people called the Palestinians. We are witnessing mass bombings of homes, hospitals and tented refugee camps, where, with enough American fragmentation, white Phosphorous and high explosive munitions, they are succeeding in vaporising the bodies of far more babies, children, mothers, elderly and handicapped in this open concentration camp, in less time than the nazis were able to do in their gas chambers. And all this under the spotlight of modern satellite photography and filming and the attention of the world's press. It is a genocidal maniac governments wildest dream. Soon, soon, there will be no Palestinians left alive, as cholera, mass malnutrition, lack of water or medicines, septecemia, influenza, gastrointestinal infections and normally easily preventable infectious diseases kill off hundreds of thousands of barely living survivors of this new holocaust, as America stands by applauding and sending ever more bombs and bullets and missiles, and prevents the UN from intervening in any way at all.
    Palestine , as part of the Ottoman Empire, with over 85% of the population recorded by Ottoman censors as Palestinian arabs, was once a veritable land of milk and honey, with some of the most industrialised and prosperous cities and ports of the Middle east. That all changed with the influx of at first a tiny number of Zionist agitators and terroristic gangs, during the British occupation of Palestine, where the British secretly armed and gave substantial covert help to the secret Jewish colonisers. Then, in 1948 the British dropped the pretence, handing over a vast arsenal to the Zionist gangs of terrorists like the Irgun and Stern Gang, who began the Nakba or what they hoped would be the mass annihalation of the majority Arab population of Palestine, through mass terrorism, supported by Britain, as they left the region, for good, to be replaced shortly after by the new American Empire, who continued the oppression and extermination of Palestinian rights and fully supported the continuing terrorism of the oppressed majority Arab population, soon to be eclipsed by mass assisted immigration designed to steal the rights, lands and lives of the indigenous population.
    All this is well researched and available in the books of both Jewish and Arab historians. I recommend the following stort introductory list for a starter course on how to plan and execute a genocide in full view;
    1. The one hundred years war on Palestine by Rashid Khalidi, 2. The ethnic cleansing of Palestine by Ilan Pappe and 3. The Holocaust Industry by Norman G. Finkelstein. These three Historians, university professors and heroes of truth and free speech in the face of immense persecution and threats to their lives, are owed an immense debt of gratitude not just by Palestinians, but by all of us.
    We all need to inform ourselves and then decide whether we too will do all we can to stop the genocide and, by the way, work for a free democracy in America, outlawing the control of over 80% of all senate and House representatives by the AIPAC and other pro-zionist lobbies and halting the obscene funding for genocide that Butcher Biden is only the latest POTUS to push through a complicit Senate and House under the false guise of promoting democracy itself !!!
    All my posts here are being deleted by the Pro-Israeli censors. If you agree with my sentiments, if you ever get to see them, please copy and share with your fellow students, friends and family and keep the rebellion going. In solidarity with truth, justice and human rights, for ever. Torlough
