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.

    I see today Erdogan making a speech saying he will join.

    I dont believe him, because he has never done anything before, and Arab politicians usually promises stuff to Palestinians and never deliver. I also travelled to Turkey once and thr amount of people there badmouthing Palestinians shocked me.

    For me, I only respect South Africa. They did something useful about it.

    All the others just want to surf on the waves made by South Africa

      Yup, that’s exactly what’s going on right now. Just awful virtue signaling from countries that have been pretty happy to do business with genocidal settlers colonist regimes.
