South Africa on Friday launched a case for the ICJ stating that Israel was in breach of its obligations under the Genocide Convention and calling for a halt to its military operations in Gaza.
“The State of Israel will appear before the International Court of Justice at The Hague to dispel South Africa’s absurd blood libel,” spokesman Eylon Levy told an online briefing.
“We assure South Africa’s leaders, history will judge you, and it will judge you without mercy,” he added.
Levy said that Hamas bore full moral responsibility for the war and was “waging from inside and underneath hospitals, schools, mosques, homes and UN facilities”.
He added that South Africa was complicit in Hamas’ crimes against Israelis, without elaborating.
If this fails to have any effect, I wonder how many more local wars will be started soon on the ground of international law becoming some kind of joke as of lately
Isn’t that how WW2 started? Germany basically broke the Versailles Treaty and kept getting away with it so just kept going.
Warfare’s back in style, just in time for the climate to really start straining resources.
