- Colombia has requested permission from the International Court of Justice to intervene in South Africaβs case against Israel for genocide in Gaza, aiming to protect Palestinian safety and existence.
- The ICJ has ordered Israel to ensure timely food supplies to Gaza and previously instructed Israel to refrain from actions under the genocide convention and to prevent genocidal acts against Palestinians, which Israel denies, attributing its actions to targeting Hamas rather than civilians.
Every second we spent talking about Palestine is time we arenβt talking about Russia. Do the maths and u try pretebd u care about saving the maximum number of human lives possible and u will find that Palestine means nothing compared to the Russian threat.
Agree. Thatβs why Israelis should cease fire immediately, dismantle the occupation and apartheid, recognize Palestine and pay reparations. So we can focus on whatβs actually dangerous to world peace.
Letβs focus on the small little distraction fish while the big fish is getting away Scott free.
Occupation requires an opposing military force.
Apartheid requires minority rule over the majority.
Consider this post the dismantling youβre waiting for.
Occupation is what every country in the world calls the situation.
Apartheid is what apartheid scholars, human rights groups, South Africans who went through apartheid, Israeli peace organizations and Palestinians (you know, the people directly affected) are calling the situation.
Your little attempt at dictionary lawyering is no argument.
Keep up the denial
Apartheid:
Amnesty International has analysed Israelβs intent to create and maintain a system of oppression and domination over Palestinians and examined its key components: territorial fragmentation; segregation and control; dispossession of land and property; and denial of economic and social rights. It has concluded that this system amounts to apartheid. Israel must dismantle this cruel system and the international community must pressure it to do so. All those with jurisdiction over the crimes committed to maintain the system should investigate them.
In contrast, many prominent international institutions, organizations and bodiesβincluding the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), the United Nations Independent International Commission of Inquiry on the Occupied Palestinian Territory, UN General Assembly (UNGA), European Union (EU), African Union, International Criminal Court (ICC) (both Pre-Trial Chamber I and the Office of the Prosecutor), Amnesty International, and Human Rights Watchβas well as international legal experts and other organizations, argue that Israel has occupied Palestinian territories including Gaza since 1967.1 While they acknowledge that Israel no longer had the traditional marker of effective control after the disengagementβa military presenceβthey hold that with the help of technology, it has maintained the requisite control in other ways.
Gaza Blockade is still Occupation
Purely cos of population they arenβt too much of a problem. Arenβt they funding Hamaβs as well or something?
100,000,000 people live in Iran.
Yes. They fund Hamas. They are religiously chosen to lead a new Islamic Caliphate headquartered in Jerusalem, they think.
