The court finds that there is sufficient basis for South Africa to have filed its complaint at the court, and rejects Israels request for the case to be thrown out.

The court has “taken note” of statements made by senior Israeli officials, including Yoav Gallant’s saying that the IDF are “fighting human animals” and President Isaac Herzog’s words that “an entire nation out there is responsible” and that there are no “uninvolved” civilians.

The International Court of Justice determines ‘at least some of the rights claimed by South Africa and for which it is seeking protection are plausible, the right of Palestinians in Gaza to be protected from Genocide’.

    Makes it harder and harder for the US to pretend it gives a shred of a fuck about law. When you’re openly fueling an assault the world calls a genocide…

    I can’t help but always think how Trump is the perfect human embodiment of the US. “I did everything right, and they indicted meeeee.”

    That’s literally the US and Israel throughout all of this. “It was a perfect bombing, folks. Very legal. Many countries, the best countries. Countries. Folks. You wouldn’t believe. Some of the best. They’re saying “we’ve never seen such a perfect war. And so legal!” That’s what they say. They do. They say it.”
