Mexico has filed a declaration of intervention in South Africa’s genocide case against Israel before the International Court of Justice (ICJ) on Tuesday, the ICJ announced in a press release.

Mexico’s move places it on a growing list of countries accusing Israel of violating the UN’s 1948 Genocide Convention.

Since January, Columbia and Libya have also declared their intention to join the case. Other countries including Egypt and Turkey have said they will join.

    Probably because most of the world is terrified of the CIA coups, US military invasion, censuring and sanctions,sanctions,sanctions. I mean, every country that has taken a stand against US imperialism ends up in relations like Iran, at best. And Mexico joining the case against Isntreal will definitely enrage the D.C. ghouls. You know at least one senator will call for nuking Mexico City (and be forced to publicly walk it back a little).

    Central and South America have been trapped in the basement since before the Monroe doctrine. Every nation that risks angering the US gets us a little closer to the illegitimacy of the hegemon and to a multi-polar world. At this point, I welcome any gesture in this direction.

      Honestly, the US is the great international terrorist. I hope someday, maybe in my lifetime, we can see an intense de-Nazification (or more accurately- de-Americanization, in the dismantling of the settler ideology and Manifest Destiny, in dismantling of the neocons and every aspect of the US exceptionalism ideology, in the dismantling of the US’ structures of unofficial apartheid, and all the countless terror cells it cultivates and legitimates as “alphabet agencies”) of the country, even if it requires an international occupation force to do so. I don’t think anything less can save the Anglosphere, and the US in particular, at this point.

      I look forward to the day Mexican, Indian, Chinese, Russian, Iranian, even Saudi troops, and whoever else is willing, patrol the streets of Washington DC. I’m an atheist, and I understand the material and historical context behind why the US is as it is, and yet I can only describe it and the network of Anglosphere regimes as demonic, the epitome of evil- the culmination of 500 years of genocide, racism, imperialism, and every crime imaginable, the culmination of at least 100 years (if not more) of cultivating the worst examples of humanity from across the globe- Nazis from across eastern Europe, war criminals and tribalist compradors from across the global south, deranged cultists and slavers like Falun Gong, Scientology, ISIS, the Khalistanis, or the Tibetan theocrats; organized and white-collar crime from across the world, etc… hundreds if not (certainly) thousands of “Operation Paperclips” writ large.

        100%. That’s about as succinct as it gets. I want to feel like that realization is the next great awaking. And the US on the verge of geo-political self-awareness… That is until I talk to any typical american and feel nausiated by the level of psychotic cognitive dissonance they wrap themselves in. You talk to one person who’s good on Palestine to discover they consider the seeseepee some kind of evil for exactly no coherent reason whatsoever. It’s a real bummer. At some point the US (and its institutions) cannot be allowed to exist or this will never end.
