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.

    Isn’t that a good thing though? You almost sound like you despise people learning from their mistakes

      Thr Jewish people were subject to genocidal practices 80 years ago.

      A half circle is a 180.

      Being that it is Jewish people now doing it to others. And other parts of the world trying to stop them (SA).

      With that in mind, your comment implies the Israel government is committing genocide first before genocide can be committed on them again, and that this is good and that I’m against it which is bad.

      I think you’ve not understood before commenting.

        Yes, indeed, I thought the original comment referred to SA being apartheid state since 1948 which is also about 80 years ago
