Site launched ahead of IJC hearing South African claims Israel commits genocide; hard-to-watch content collected from terrorists own body cameras and CCTV footage previously presented to limited audiences due to the cruelty seen
The day before the International Court of Justice (ICJ) in the Hague, convening to hear claims that Israel was committing genocide in Gaza, the Prime Minister’s Office launched a new website that includes horrific video of the Hamas terrorists committing their massacre on October 7.
The site titled “Oct. 7, 2023, Hamas Massacre: Documentation of Crimes Against Humanity,” aims to show the atrocities committed by the terrorists at the various locations that came under their attack. The site was created in collaboration with the IDF Spokesperson’s Unit which curated Bearing Witness - a 47 minute completion of raw footage from the massacre screen to limited audiences around the world.
The site is intentionally not accessible from within Israel, preserving the victims’ privacy, and is exclusively for international viewers. The IDF Spokesperson’s Unit emphasized the need to safeguard Israel’s legitimacy globally, especially amid increasing anti-Israel protests by pro-Palestinian groups.
The atrocities committed by Hamas are horrible and have no excuse, and yet they have absolutely no relevancy in the ICJ case. Israel is being accused of genocide. There is no justifiable motivation for genocide. What Hamas did is completely and absolutely irrelevant here. I reiterate, under international law there is absolutely no justification for genocide.
