Pressure and requested rejection of South Africa ICJ genocide case – they want to derail it!

The Israeli Foreign Ministry has ordered its embassies across the globe to pressure their host countries to reject South Africa’s genocide case against it at the International Court of Justice (ICJ), Axios has reported, citing an urgent diplomatic cable. The cable, which was sent out by the Foreign Ministry on Thursday, stresses that Israel’s “strategic goals” are for the ICJ to reject South Africa’s request for an injunction, refrain from determining that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza and acknowledge that the IDF’s actions in the enclave comply with international law, Axios said in an article on Saturday.

The Foreign Ministry wants other countries to back its claim that South Africa’s allegations are “absurd and baseless.”  According to the Foreign Ministry, Israeli diplomats must pressure their counterparts and high-level politicians in host countries to issue “immediate and unequivocal public statement along the following lines: To publicly and clearly state that YOUR COUNTRY rejects the outragest, absurd and baseless allegations made against Israel.”

Claims of any moral high ground by the West will be met with widespread ridicule.  Countries of the global South are simply not afraid to stand up anymore.

Pretoria addressed the ICJ last week, claiming that Israel’s ongoing attacks on Gaza are “genocidal in character because they are intended to bring about the destruction of a substantial part” of the Palestinian population. South Africa wants the Hague-based court to issue an injunction ordering the IDF to suspend its military campaign in the enclave. More than 22,600 people have been killed in Gaza over the past three months, according to the local health ministry.

“A ruling by the court could have significant potential implications that are not only in the legal world but have practical bilateral, multilateral, economic, security ramifications,” the document, copies of which were seen by the outlet, read.

It’s also important for foreign nations “to publicly acknowledge that Israel is working to increase the humanitarian aid to Gaza, as well as to minimize damage to civilians, while acting in self-defense after the horrible October 7 attack by a genocidal terrorist organization [Hamas],” the cable read.

Next Thursday will be a historic day, as Israel, now a rogue state, will appear for the first time in its history before the International Court of Justice in The Hague. They’ve always hidden behind the US and created a filthy environment filled with lies and somehow avoided this action in all the previous killing sprees called ‘haircutting wars against the Gaza strip.  They are involved directly in genociding the Palestinians and have done so for a long time.  They are committing war crimes against the Palestinian people and now attempting to steal their land.

A big wail has gone up in the israeli circles.  They want a newspaper, the British Sunday Times to apologize for this cartoon.  I believe we should spread it widely and for the first time in many years, I thank the cartoonist of an MSM news outlet.  We will probably receive a takedown notice.
