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

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.

    • 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
