What happened on day 1 of Israel's ICJ genocide trial?

[1LoverofGod]

The Hague, Netherlands — South Africa pressed the International Court of Justice to demand a complete ceasefire in Gaza and to find Israel guilty of genocide during the opening of a two-day contentious and historic hearing at The Hague.

“No attack, however serious, can justify breaches to the [genocide] convention whether as a matter of law or morality,” South Africa’s Justice Minister Roland Lamola told the court, as he argued that Israel planned to eliminate all Palestinians in Hamas ruled Gaza.

Lamola said that the attack by Hamas on Oct. 7 did not justifies Israel’s military campaign in Gaza, stating that “no attack, however serious, can justify breaches to the [genocide] convention whether as a matter of law or morality.”

The Justice Minister arrived in the Netherlands for Thursday morning’s presentation of South Africa’s complaint that Israel was in violation of the 1948 Convention on the Prevention of Genocide. Israel and south Africa are both signatory on the convention, which means that in principle, Israel accepts the authority of the court.

Since the Palestinians have no standing at the International Court of Justice due to the fact that they are not a recognized sovereign state, they looked for some useful idiots to do that for them. No arab country was willing to take that role. That’s when the antisemitic South African government kicked in. They are nothing but puppets of the invented nation.

To the chief Musician‭‭ upon Jonathelemrechokim‭‭, Michtam‭ of David‭, when the Philistines‭ took‭‭ him in Gath‭.

Be merciful‭‭ unto me, O God‭: for man‭ would swallow me up‭‭; he fighting‭‭ daily‭ oppresseth‭‭ me.‭
‭Mine enemies‭‭ would daily‭ swallow‭‭ ‭me‭ up: for ‭they be‭ many‭ that fight‭‭ against me, O thou most High‭.‭
‭What time‭ I am afraid‭‭, I will trust‭‭ in thee.‭
‭In God‭ I will praise‭‭ his word‭, in God‭ I have put my trust‭‭; I will not fear‭‭ what flesh‭ can do‭‭ unto me.‭
‭Every day‭ they wrest‭‭ my words‭: all their thoughts‭ ‭are‭ against me for evil‭.‭
‭They gather themselves together‭‭, they hide‭‭‭‭‭ themselves, they mark‭‭ my steps‭, when they wait‭‭ for my soul‭.‭

‭Shall they escape‭ by iniquity‭? in ‭thine‭ anger‭ cast down‭‭ the people‭, O God‭.‭

Ps. 56:1-7

Thank you South Africa! For giving Israel’s best legal scholars an opportunity to destroy the Palestinian’s ridiculous claims in front of the world. Listen to Dr. Galit Rajuan at the ICJ
