The detail in South Africa’s legal case against Israel is astonishing!

South Africa are taking Israel to the ICJ for Genocide, but the evidence gathered by them far outweighs just the headline. Right, so news broke last night that South Africa had filed a case with the International Criminal Court against Israel for committing the crime of Genocide under the terms of the Genocide Convention, of which both countries are of course signatories. It is incumbent on all signatories to uphold it, but it’s taken South Africa to actually do it, showing on one hand either how little other countries consider the importance of preventing genocide or how afraid of Israel they might happen to be. South Africa of all nations I think though, being the ones to go first in effect, others might find their balls now to follow, sends a powerful message given the history of apartheid in their country. They of all people to my mind would be the ones to recognise that same apartheid when they see it elsewhere, they have long pointed it out in the Middle East, so yes, it is great that this has happened and people can speculate about what might happen and what consequences there might be, but if that is as far as your train of thought is going, then you’re missing not only the point of the submission to the International Court of Justice, but also the detail, because the case South Africa have put together should not only get people talking about Palestine and Israel once again, but also be horrified by the detail of the submission and what exactly South Africa are accusing Israel of, what people there have actually said, actually done and the actual crimes themselves that Israel stand accused of. Right, so South Africa have submitted a case to the International Court of Justice under the terms of the Genocide Convention against Israel for committing the act of genocide. This is dominating the news, though sadly if you’re watching the BBC, you’ll have heard more along the lines of ‘Israel has reacted furiously to South Africa filing an ICJ case alleging Israel has committed “Genocidal Acts.”’ Nice of the BBC to put prominence on Israel’s reaction, rather than South Africa’s action, but really why should any of us be surprised. However an awful lot of the news coverage is reaction, a lot of videos coming out today by other content creators will be reaction stuff too, but that misses what exactly South Africa has done. What are they actually accusing Israel of? What is their case? What have they submitted? Well I shall tell you, though forgive me for being brief on this myself because South Africa’s submission, focussed solely on events since October 7th, but set against that historical backdrop of 75 years of apartheid, 56 years of occupation and 16 years of it’s blockade against Gaza, runs to 86 pages. 86 pages of Israeli atrocity in 11 weeks produced by one nation, so I apologise in advance for keeping things brief here, highlights if you like, but my goodness if you can find time please do read the full submission because it isn’t getting enough attention. ***Subscribe to the channel here*** ►ABOUT ME: Hi, I’m Damien Willey.
