Stakes Raised As Government Of South Africa Levels 80 Page Document Accusing Israel Of Genocidal Intent in ICJ: The Case Detailed
Interview With Lawyer Daniel Machover, Whose Parents Were Israeli Citizens Who Opposed Events In Palestine, Left After Six Day War; Israel Accuses South Africa Of "Advocating For The Devil."
“South Africa details numerous examples of “direct and public incitement to commit genocide by Israeli state officials”, including by the prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu. The threats to make Gaza permanently uninhabitable, the references to Palestinians as human animals, are all documented in the claim. The calls by the far-right ministers Bezalel Smotrich and Itamar Ben Gvir to resettle Palestinians outside Gaza are also cited.
Inside Israel itself, former officials have written to the attorney general, Gali Baharav-Miara, asking that action be taken against public officials and elected politicians who have called for ethnic cleansing. The signatories on this letter include the former ambassador Dr Alon Liel, Prof Eli Barnavi, Ilan Baruch and Suzie Bachar.
“The explicit calls to commit atrocities against millions of people have become, for the first time that we can recall, a legitimate and ordinary part of the Israeli dialogue,” they state.”

A PREDICTION AND PROPHECY OF EARLY ISRAELI DISSENTERS:
“Our right to defend ourselves from extermination does not give us the right to oppress others. Occupation entails foreign rule. Foreign rule entails resistance. Resistance entails repression. Repression entails terror and counterterrorism. The victims of terror are mostly innocent people holding on to the occupied territories.. will turn us into a nation of murderers and murder victims. Let us get out of the occupied territories immediately.”

Interview with Daniel Machover, below:
And that factotum Kirby's response at the presser yesterday shows the US is also worried about this. Not about anyone actually going to prison, but further international isolation. That being said Francis Boyle, who did argue successfully on behalf of Bosnia-Hercegovina, has stated that he thinks South Africa has presented an open and shut case... We shall see. Somehow, Israel & the US seem to wriggle out of these things but maybe this is another signal that whatever greater powers run the show are ready to turn the wheel into another age...
Meanwhile corrupt South African government is genociding Boer farmers.
