Interesting comments after israel’s response to the ICJ

South Africa’s Minister of Justice, Ronald Lamola, says Israel failed to respond to the genocide case and it seems unable to condemn the practices of its soldiers.

South Africa’s legal team: If Israel was right, it would have allowed international investigation teams to enter Gaza.

During the hearing today at the ICJ court, the Israeli legal team claims that the Israeli army hasn’t bombed any hospitals in Gaza.

Israeli legal defense team at the International Court of Justice in The Hague: “Israel did not prevent the entry of aid to Gaza, and Egypt is fully responsible for the Rafah crossing; it could have allowed aid in from the first day.”  (it is always the other guy’s fault – sure israel did not bomb hospitals and ambulances )

Lets waste some time for israel. Let’s dissemble whole affair – should Germany open this and court agrees, the rest of the worl will follow and in 12years or so +-, the case will still continue. The court did sa ‘a single oral representation’. “Germany rejects South Africa’s allegation against Israel and to speak for Israel at the ICJ. Germany’s spokesperson, Steffen Hebestreit, states: “We firmly reject the accusation of genocide made against Israel. It has no basis whatsoever. We will, therefore, speak as a third party in the main hearing before the International Court of Justice.”

Kremlin condemns ‘illegal’ Western attacks in Yemen

https://www.rt.com/news/590525-kremlin-yemen-strikes-illegal/

On the situation in Yemen:

– The US and UK launched strikes on Yemen. The Houthis fired rockets in response.

– The attacks by Washington and London were aimed at 12 targets in Yemen and were carried out by Tomahawk missiles

– According to the Pentagon, 100 naval and air missiles were fired at Yemen. There were 20 airstrikes in total, after which the attacks stopped

– The Netherlands, Australia, Canada and Bahrain are involved in providing logistical, intelligence and other forms of support to the aggressor

– Washington has finished striking Yemen’s Houthi positions, but the United States “reserves the right to respond if threats continue”

– The Houthis confirm that they will continue their anti-Israeli operations in the Red Sea no matter what

– Democrats criticized Biden for not receiving congressional approval for the operation. Republican Senator Rand Paul also said that Biden is again acting without a constitutional mandate. Congressmen Divided In Opinions Joe himself condemned Trump’s decision to strike Iran four years ago. + Let me remind you that there is a “War Powers Act” that appeared after Vietnam

– The Houthis claim that they sank the first American ship with its crew. There are no confirming photos or videos yet. The Americans deny everything.

– Russia has requested an urgent meeting of the UN Security Council for Friday in connection with the strikes by the United States and its allies on Yemen

israel is improving and upgrading aaaalllll of the human needs in Gaza. They are so kind. So far I don’t think I can listen any longer to the lies.  A Point in law – israel is so good and so kind and so attentive to the needs of the Gazans, that there is no need for provisional measures because israel has been so good and facilitated so many humanitarian actions – in some previous case this court accepted a similar argument. Israel is as pure as the driven snow – so how is it most of Gaza lies in ruins? It is all Hamas!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H6CEKVSjg7o

Arguing against the ICJ issuing provisional measures to halt attacks on Gaza, Israel’s legal team says, “The scope and intensity” of Israel’s operations have already been decreasing and claims that Israel’s repeated pledges to observe international law are enough to make provisional measures.

The one thing that stands out is that the israeli tactics do not change – first invoke the holocaust and then paint itself as the perpetual victim and then attack the other guy who, no doubt, is guilty :

“Honorable court, on October 7, thousands of Hamas terrorists broke into Israel in the middle of a holiday, what the citizens of Israel experienced was murder, biggest murder of Jews since the Holocaust

In light of the Holocaust, it is not surprising that Israel immediately signed the Convention against Genocide. For some of us, the phrase “never again” may be a slogan, but not for Israel. Israel needs to defend itself both before the International Court of Justice and against the war imposed on it by Hamas

As in any war, the citizens suffer and it’s terrible.   South Africa in its approach to the tribunal denies the legitimacy of Israel’s existence for 75 years – Becker.”

Don’t say these things about us! says israel.  It will tarnish their reputation.  Up to now, it seems as if they have not realized that there is no ‘reputation’ remaining.

Israel’s legal team says that South Africa’s request that the court order Israel to preserve evidence of potential crimes has no basis, and “no proof was offered that Israel was destroying evidence in Gaza.”

Such an order would be an “unprincipled and unnecessary tarnishing of reputation”, they added.

Jan 11 – I am not sure if this news is valid or hot air

British media claim that the US and Britain will attack Yemen in the coming hours and will bomb the country.
Ansar Allah continue their mobilization methodically. Iran stated that an attack on Yemen would be a significant mistake for the US.
It is expected that U.S. President Joe Biden will make a statement in the coming hours, and the American reconnaissance aircraft RC-135W is already flying towards Yemen.

Update from various Yemen sources – The American-British aggression on Yemen targeted the airport in the Abs District and the Taiz Airport in the Taiziyah District. We will continue our operations in the Red Sea until the end of the aggression on Gaza. If Washington and London expand the battle, we will strike their bases in the region.

Yes, there are western strikes on Yemen – Military sources in Yemen reporting the declaration of a state of alert throughout the country. Ansar Allah declared that if Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Qatar allow their airspace for an attack on Yemen, these countries will be considered at war with Yemen.

Following Iran, Syria also declared full support for the actions of Yemen.

Warplanes have entered Yemen’s air defense identification zone.

Take a look at this Gravity 1 rocket, the world’s most powerful solid-propellant launch vehicle and can be launched from a ship. It made its debut flight from China on Thursday.

The whole world is truly watching! The South African case so far is very thorough and calls out the genocide as a genocide – exactly what it is. The attorney speaking now stated that israel has no defence. One is – genocide is not defensible under any circumstances.

Jan 11

Dutch election winner Geert Wilders tweets “100% support for Israel” in response to an article claiming the Jewish state’s reputation is at stake on genocide charges in The Hague.

Israel will get nowhere with this attitude against the darlings of the world, in terms of the belief that racism was defeated there. “Israel accuses South Africa of being the “legal arm” of Hamas”, AFP reports.

Lets continue with the list

The Arab League announces support for South Africa’s genocide case against Israel in the ICJ.

Iran has voiced its support for South Africa’s decision to file a case against Israel at the International Court of Justice (ICJ) over crimes of genocide against Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, stating that the Tel Aviv regime has committed a raft of crimes against Gazans in flagrant violation of international conventions.

The Parliamentary Union of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation has called for Israeli leaders to be prosecuted for the regime’s crimes against the besieged Gaza Strip

San Francisco voted yesterday 8-3 in support of a ceasefire resolution, becoming the largest city in the US to call for an immediate ceasefire in the Gaza Strip.

In a statement issued by the Colombian government, it stated that it hopes that, after the hearings, the Court will rule without delay on the request for urgent provisional measures requested by South Africa and adopt decisions that will allow the bloodbath in Gaza and the occupied territories to cease.

…more than 1,400 Finnish music industry professionals have signed a petition urging a ban on Israel from Eurovision over war crimes in Gaza.

The UN’s International Court of Justice (ICJ) is biased and dominated by the Western colonial powers.

South Africa’s case accusing Israel of genocide is very strong, but the sad reality is politics drives ICJ rulings, not facts.

The ICJ has 15 judges from these countries:
🇺🇲 US…

— Ben Norton (@BenjaminNorton) January 10, 2024

Ben adds: “Given their geopolitical orientation and UN votes, it is essentially guaranteed that the US, Germany, France, Australia, India, Japan, and Slovakia will vote against South Africa’s ICJ case, or abstain.

This means all 8 other members would have to vote for it, which is unlikely.”

I question India as a start and perhaps one or two more.  Take a look at what Belgium says a little further down.

Ecuador is in chaos being taken over by drug cartels.  Thanks to “free market capitalism” & pro-US puppet leaders, this small South American country is being destroyed.  Homicide rate has grown staggering sixfold since 2017, when US puppet Moreno took office. This guy also betrayed Julian Assange, who was in the Ecuadorean embassy in London.

Peru sheepishly had to confess because they cannot do otherwise, that the weapons used by the cartels came in through Peru. If you remember I reported on the Peru coup. https://sovereignista.com/2023/01/20/perus-us-backed-coup/ https://sovereignista.com/2023/01/14/peru/ https://sovereignista.com/2022/12/15/peru-the-cia-coup/

Good grief. The weapons used in today’s gang violence in Ecuador came from the Peruvian military 💀💀💀 https://t.co/kKsF1gz6T6

This is the week.  On the 11th and 12th Israel will be in the dock at the Hague at the ICJ.  Many parts of our world are sending groups to view first hand.  Israel is not happy and they are spitting like a bunch of writhing snakes in a hole.  With US support, they’ve always been able to avoid any consequences of their actions.  Just the fact of hauling them in front of a court shames them because God gave them the land is their false belief and nobody may criticize them and they are of course the victims.

Jan 9 – This is important

China has been working for years to finalize this code of conduct.  If there is progress it would be a very positive move for the South China Sea.

Indonesia is ready to work with countries to finalize South China Sea code.

Indonesia’s Foreign Minister Retno Marsudi said her country is ready to work with other Southeast Asian nations to finalize a long-delayed code of conduct for the South China Sea, where many of its neighbors have overlapping claims with China.

“On South China Sea, Indonesia is ready to work together with all ASEAN member states including the Philippines to finalize the Code of Conduct as soon as possible,” Retno said at a joint press conference with Filipino counterpart Enrique Manalo in Manila, ahead of a visit by Indonesian President Joko Widodo.

The Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) and China have for years been trying to create a framework to negotiate a code of conduct, a plan dating as far back as 2002. However, progress has been slow despite commitments by all parties to advance and expedite the process.  The main sticking point has been the Philippines.
