I think it's cute that the only standard of international justice #Palestine recognizes is the #icj and #Hamas basically told the court to fuck off after it declared Hamas international criminals with #Netanyahu.
#icc vs #icj
"The ICC considers cases against individuals and as such has to be distinguished from the International Court of Justice, which rules on disputes between states, such as the case brought by South Africa against Israel in January 2024 under the 1948 Genocide Convention."
Israel does nothing to prevent its terror attacks carried out by its soldiers and illegal settlers day and night against civilians in #westbank
But it freely drops bombs on Palestinians by calling them all “terrorists” even children—a practice adopted by the Biden administration as well. I hope that #icj does the right thing.
Contrary to what the Israeli deputy legal adviser said in court, "no aid has come through either the Rafah or Karem Abu Salem crossings in recent days"
"That reflects how much Israel is working to erase truth and change the facts on the ground as it continues its relentless bombardment of Rafah and the Jabalia refugee camp," from an Al Jazeera reporter.
In essence, the Israeli deputy legal advisor lied all the way through ...
The #israelis, the #americans and other backers of the #israeli religious war in #gaza let the world forget that the #icj in July 2004 referred in its ruling to Art. 51 of the #un#charter which you can read in the second text image in full with comment.
We would add:
Israelis have been a war belligerent since 1967 as they never lifted the declaration of war, and never signed peace with the country it is occupying: #palestine
Peace would also mean to make an end to the occupation.
It is quite something to watch distinguished legal minds argue in real-time to stop a genocide from continuing. To watch genocidal intent in #Rafah so easily established. #ICJ
THE HAGUE – The International Court of Justice (#ICJ) holds public hearings in the case South Africa v. Israel - Oral argument of South Africa (2024-05-16)
The United Nations’ top court opens two days of hearings into a request from South Africa to press Israel to halt its military operation in the southern Gaza city of Rafah, where more than half of Gaza’s population has sought shelter
“At the time in 1948, there was no television. People did not have smartphones, and it was relatively easy to cover up the Nakba, the ethnic cleansing, and to claim that it didn’t exist,” the Israeli historian told Al Jazeera.
"Egypt Joins ICJ Case Accusing Israel of Genocide"
"Egypt is the third country after Colombia & Turkey to request to join South Africa's case."
Egypt, as "the cornerstone of Israel's standing in the Middle East" since 1979, joining South Africa's case is a "real diplomatic punch. Israel would have to take it very seriously".
~Alon Liel, former director of Israel's Foreign Ministry
Egypt to join South Africa’s ICJ genocide case against Israel at the International Court of Justice.
Egypt says the move is due to the worsening severity & scope of Israeli attacks against Palestinian civilians in the Gaza Strip.
However, Egypt has repeatedly warned Israel that Israel's military operations along the Egypt-Gaza border could endanger the peace treaty between the two.
