South Africa has launched a case at the United Nations’ top court alleging that Israel’s military campaign in Gaza amounts to genocide.

Link to the summary of findings submitted by South Africa: https://apnews.com/article/un-court-south-africa-israel-gaza-genocide-71be2ce7f09bfee05a7cae26689ee262

South Africa’s 84-page filing says Israel’s actions “are genocidal in character because they are intended to bring about the destruction of a substantial part” of the Palestinians in Gaza.

It asks the ICJ, also known as the world court, for a series of legally binding rulings. It wants the court to declare that Israel “has breached and continues to breach its obligations under the Genocide Convention,” and to order Israel to cease hostilities in Gaza that could amount to breaches of the convention, to offer reparations, and to provide for reconstruction of what it’s destroyed in Gaza.

    Heh, all Arab states were established fairly recently. LOL.

    And holy shit. At least we are done. You’re an apologist for terrorists. As I tell a lot of radicalized kids on here who are Hamas aligned or members, you need to self reflect and get out of your bubble.

    You’re heading down a super dangerous direction that could ruin your life. Take a step back, and take a breath. And step away. When you come back, expose yourself to something other than Hamas propaganda, and the Lemmy echo chamber.

    Your assertion that “Oct. 7th wasn’t a terrorist attack”, is a crazy huge red flag warning. I won’t try to reason with you anymore. You’re clearly past reason.

    I wish you the best of luck and hope you turn away from embracing terroism before you become an active participant.

    I’ve never seen a better recruiting place for Hamas than Lemmy. It’s super dangerous, and needs to be addressed.

      • I never said I supported HAMAS. I support neither party involved in this war.
      • There needs to be a solution but neither party appear to be willing to be a part of it.
      • Israel’s attack on Gaza is not self-defence
      • Israel are not taking adequate steps to reduce civilian casualties
      • I said HAMAS’ attack was an act of war not terror, a higher charge than you give it.

      Frankly, I am insulted by your childishness in response to my arguments
