South Africa Files 750 Pages of 'Overwhelming' Evidence in #ICJ #Genocide Case Against #Israel

"The glaring genocide in #Gaza is there for all who are not blinded by prejudice to see."

by Brett Wilkins
Oct 28, 2024

"The office said the document 'contains evidence which shows how the government of Israel has violated the #GenocideConvention by promoting the destruction of Palestinians living in Gaza, physically killing them with an assortment of destructive weapons, depriving them access to humanitarian assistance, causing conditions of life which are aimed at their physical destruction, and ignoring and defying several provisional measures of the International Court of Justice, and using starvation as a weapon of war and to further Israel's aims to depopulate Gaza through mass death and forced displacement of #Palestinians.'"

"Israel minister condemned for saying starvation of millions in Gaza might be ‘justified and moral’"

Headline is precisely backwards. Current one buries the lede: namely, that Israeli government minister #Smotrich has *not* been immediately condemned by *any* of his own government for these genocide-apologist comments. Nor has he been immediately investigated for #incitement, as required under Israeli and international law, including specific directions from the #ICJ emphasising Israel's obligations under the #GenocideConvention to punish verbal support for #genocide .

The Guardian · Israel minister condemned for saying starvation of millions in Gaza might be ‘justified and moral’By Guardian staff reporter

Ok. We've got to a point that there's a strong consensus among lawyers that Israel is deliberately breaching international law in Gaza. (Including: UK lawyers open letters; ICJ decisions on provisional measures; ICC application for arrest warrants being backed by an expert panel.)
And yet most of the politicians haven't caught up.
So maybe it's up to us now as citizens and voters.
Did anyone mention a UK general election??

To #civilians in #Gaza, "unrestrained #solidarity with #Israel" is a literal death threat.

It is the official policy of our @Bundesregierung in #Germany, that it still follows up on with the delivery of #weapons and military equipment.

You can freely speak this formula into any TV camera. You won't be criminalized for having expressly rejected each and any restraint, like #HumanRights, the #GenocideConvention, or the laws of war.

Because that *is* the meaning of "unrestrained".

"#Israel Hayom: One option considered by the war cabinet is the "thinning out the Gazan population to the minimum possible level." ..."#Netanyahu sees this as a strategic goal," & asked Ron Dermer to formulate a working plan"

The article gives a sense about how this may look, the need to bypass int'l pressure..."The sea is also open to Gazans. Israel can open the sea crossing at its will that will enable a mass exodus to Europe & African countries."

“The Israel-Gaza war is the most dangerous situation for #journalists we have ever seen, and these figures show that clearly,” said Sherif Mansour, #CPJ’s Middle East and North Africa program coordinator.

“The Israeli army has killed more journalists in 10 weeks than any other army or entity has in any single year. And with every journalist killed, the war becomes harder to document and to understand.”
