South Africa and Israel respond to ICJ ruling on war in Gaza

in a historic decision, the UN’s international court of justice has ordered Israel to ensure its forces do not commit acts of genocide against Palestinians in Gaza.
In an interim judgment delivered on Friday, the president of the court, Joan Donoghue, said Israel must 'take all measures within its power' to prevent acts that fall within the scope of the genocide convention and must ensure 'with immediate effect' that its forces do not commit any of the acts covered by the convention. The court stopped short of granting South Africa’s request to order an immediate ceasefire.

It is criminal how under reported this pivotal moment of our history is.

The verdict says: "prevent and punish the direct and public incitement to genocide"

“You must remember what Amalek has done to you", Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu

"I welcome the initiative of the voluntary emigration of Gaza Arabs to countries around the world, ", Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich

“Right now, one goal: Nakba! A Nakba that will overshadow the Nakba of 1948, ”, Ariel Kallner, a member of the Israeli parliament

“We are fighting human animals and we are acting accordingly.”, defence minister, Yoav Gallant

“opportunity to concentrate on encouraging the migration of the residents of Gaza, ” National Security Minister, Itamar Ben Gvir

ICJ left a nice big grey area as it was probably told to do. So nothing changes.

Whatever the outcome is history will keep remember South Africa forever.

The mics are almost all of non Western countries. Just shows how underreported this powerful move of South Africa is in the West.

It's amazing how many people don't understand the process. This was an interim judgement where the court was asked to rule on whether or not South Africa has a case. The court has found that SA does indeed have a case. This in itself is a kick in the nuts for Israel as they had petitioned the court to dismiss the case. The court now has to work over evidence, which could take several years before they can make a ruling of guilt or innocence on the part of Israel. This is a successful start to SA's case.

The judges are appealing and requesting Israel to take measure against genocide, instead of punishing Israel because of committing genocide.

“Our war is against Hamas terrorists not Palestinian citizens”

Could’ve fooled me mate, doesn’t look that way.

One of the greatest quotes ‘Israel is like a narcissistic psychopath, they will f you up and then make you believe it was your fault’

Exactly what he is doing here.

Three months in, bodies piling up and death toll mounting, and yet the occupier insists they must defend themselves against the people they occupy, who are enclosed in a walled area.

South Africa is the hero here. I won’t forget this and will support their tourism even more and for those genocide supporting countries and those who stayed on the fence, I won’t support your tourism . Smallest of gestures on my part, I’m beyond impressed with South Africa.

[Hazeem_RC]

Lol Netanyahu is really trying to prove himself right here by defending against a nation with no food, no electricity, no weapons and also by taking on the children, toddlers, babies and women of almost way to go Benjamin the world knows that you're wrong and we stands with 🇵🇸Palestine🇵🇸 for life❤️

[leticiaarbore]

Get to work South Africa. You’ve got a lot to do for your own people:
What are the biggest threats to South Africa?
South Africa is facing a security risk and the state is not complying with its social contract. High crime rates driven by unemployment and poverty, collapsing infrastructure, political insecurity and tension, and an appetite for lawlessness, pose real threats to domestic stability.

The idea of humanity differs from one war to another depending on who defines it.

[drmohammadumar]

South Africa, a symbol of liberty, equality and fraternity.

[krimlinturhks]

Netanyahu is getting crazy and old enough to keep on saying defending its country while treating Palestinians as human animals and depriving its right to right determination and free from evil. How many children Palestinians being jailed for a years? Is that part of the International law commitment? Palestinians have to self determination and to have on state. They have the right to fight their rights too.

South Africa doesn't care about wars in Africa, but went all out to ICJ just to please Russia.

[MikesterMF]

Bravo to South Africa for making a stand for humanity in a way that the larger nations have absconded. Thank you
