I found this very interesting.

In the latest segment of its presentation at the ICJ in The Hague, South Africa has made a statement which perhaps gives some insight into how they think Israel will approach mounting its defence presentation in tomorrow’s session.

Saying that it was not using much in the way of audio/visual presentation, South Africa’s legal team said:

In the speeches to this court today, South Africa has chosen as you’ve heard, to avoid the sharing of graphic videos and photos. It has decided against turning this court into a theatre for spectacle. It knows as well as your excellencies the temptation for both sides in a dispute to parade pictures to shock.

South Africa’s application in this court today is built on a foundation of clear legal rights, not images, and the detailed material before the court is marshalled to show a case for provisional measures based firmly on this court’s prior decisions.


South Africa advances its case on the basis that Palestinian’s rights are equally as worthy of protection on the unprecedented evidence before you as those of the victim groups that this honourable court has previously protected by its issuance of provisional measures in the past.

The material confirms the rights and their violation that Israel has committed, and is committing, acts capable of being characterised as genocidal.

You have heard from us about the direct extermination of thousands of people and children of the Palestinian population in Gaza since 7 October last year.

And South Africa and the world together stand witness to the forced evacuation of over 85% of the population of Gaza from their homes, and the herding of them into ever smaller areas without adequate shelter or medical care, to be attacked, killed and harmed.

So the rights are immediately and urgently in need of protection because of the ongoing denial by Israel of the conditions necessary for life.

South Africa covering the bases.

South Africa applying full-court pressure.

Their angles, legal jargon, immovable incriminating evidence,
historical records of ICJ judgements in other cases
and preemptive “antisemitism card” defense was pristine.

Nelson Mandela would be proud

South Africa is playing the role of a moral global leader that America pretends it is

🇿🇦 ❤️



And them DEVILS WILL hate South Africa for it and WILL try EVERYTHING in their powers to make them suffer for it from here on out.

Never forget how it was
Dr. Naledi Pandor that BLOCKED them DEVILS from having observer status in the African Union after other cowardly African leaders were bought and granted it to lsrael.

It took a Black queen like
Dr. Naledi Pandor to say
“Over my DEAD BODY, not on MY watch :usure:

because all them others African leaders were cowards thinking in their own best interest, instead of the collective future of Africa.




What South Africa is doing in front of the whole world is extremely brave.

Israel calls genocide hearings one of history's 'greatest shows of hypocrisy' and calls South Africa the 'legal arm of Hamas'​

Isreal’s foreign ministry has attacked the legal hearing into the war in Gaza held this morning in The Hague, calling them “one of the greatest shows of hypocrisy in history” and calls South Africa, who brought forward the case alleging Israel is committing genocide, “the legal arm of the Hamas”.

Who needs evidence when you can sling slurs.
