South Africa, Israel Clash Again at The Hague — Over Rafah Operation
Breitbart ^ | 05/17/2024 | JOEL B. POLLAK

South Africa returned to the International Court of Justice (ICJ) in The Hague, Netherlands, this week in an effort to stop Israel’s ongoing military operation in the city of Rafah against the last Hamas battalions in the Gaza Strip.

The struggling African nation — which faces elections later this month — took Israel to the ICJ earlier this year, urging the court to declare that Israel was guilty of “genocide” in Gaza, even though Israel has taken pains to avoid civilian casualties, and allows hundreds of trucks laden with humanitarian aid to enter the territory every day. The ICJ ruled that Israel had to report on its efforts to comply with international humanitarian law, but did not order a ceasefire.

Some misinterpreted the ICJ’s ruling as saying that the case for genocide was “plausible,” when in fact the court had simply said that South Africa had made a “plausible” case that Palestinians had certain fundamental rights at stake.

Where’s Nelson when you need him? No, not Lord Nelson. Oh, guess he might have aggravated SA’s stance. Lucky they have no problems of their own.......

South Africa has descended to the level of a Third World country. I think Israel will take their words as just more gaseous emissions from a 30 year old cow.

You may recall that after WWII, there was talk that maybe the Jewish people could emigrate en masse to South Africa. With the benefit of hindsight, we see that this may have been a bad idea.

If Israel is an apartheid state then South Africa is a good example of why you should keep that system in place
