On the other side, devout Islamic leaders focus on...

Al Jazeera lists the countries which have officially backed the South African case before the ICJ claiming Israel is engaged in "genocide." It starts with the Organization of Islamic Countries (OIC).

(If those countries calling out their support separately is significant, then one must wonder why the other 54 members of the OIC have not.) The only other country that publicly backs the case is Bolivia, which has a pretty poor human rights record itself.
