- 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.
Is this the genocide case started by south Africa? Isnβt south Africa currently supporting Russia?
It has nothing to do with Russia. Itβs a formal process started by South Africa (who have a long-standing interest in Palestinian human rights because of Apartheid). They have so far been formally joined by Nicaragua and now Colombia.
A bunch of other countries have expressed support and may join at a future date, including Ireland and the African Union.
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.
Yes they do and Russia is happier than ever. The more that people talk about Israel/Gaza, the less they talk about the Russian strategy in Ukraine being mass murder, rape and torture of civilians.
Wow, those are some serious mental gymnastics, if you think people are only upset about a literal genocide as some sort of distraction.
Still, if thatβs what you and @muntedcrocodile genuinely believe, Iβd expect you both would be posting articles on the Russian invasion of Ukraine and drawing the kinds of attention you want for that issue.
But when I look at your profiles, neither of you appear to be doing that.
I havenβt posted a single thing for anything on this account go find my .world account and u can see all the Russian shills I argue with.
They donβt support Russia in any way that is conceivably comparable to how the US, UK, or Germany are supporting Israel. There is no equivalency.
Yes they fucking do https://www.nytimes.com/2023/06/12/world/africa/south-africa-russia-us-lawmakers.html
Fucking hypocrites.

I would imagine theyβd be seen as incredibly biased since they all hate the shit out of Israel and many of them arenβt exactly democratic.
When you have South Africa, Ireland and now Colombia stepping up to the plate it brings more weight IMO.
Plus South Africa and Ireland have a special bond with Palestine due to their own past as victims of especially awful colonialist atrocities. They get what Gaza is going through better than most other countries that anyone in the West will listen to.
Saudi is a US alley.
Egypt is under a dictatorship after the military removed the elected official. Egypt hasnβt been the same since France tricked them by pretending to be allies.
Turkey is like two bad moves from being nuked by either US or Russia (Russia falling would seriously relieve a ton of pressure off Turkey and Syria).
Libya still has no government.
Iraq is run by rapist opioid lords set up by Bush II.
Syria is occupied by Russia, Israel, a crappy dictator, and ISIS.
Iβm honestly not sure why Lebanon seems to be going bad.
Saudi, US, and Israel have been doing Gaza tactics in Yemen for a long time. They still are the only country helping Palestine. Israel is actually running out of cars which is ironic as they blew up so many Palestinian cars about 12 months ago.
Sad to see a failed state still get caught up in identity politics. Maybe they should focus on things at home.
Bidenβs spokespeople have assured me there is no genocide, so this is all quite odd
