Israel's decision to send troops into Lebanon, a sovereign nation, is not a "limited ground operation".
It is an invasion.
Our government's hypocrisy is on full display. Its failure to defend international law and stand up to Israel is a moral disgrace.

Get ready for the avalanche of attacks on South Africa by the Western media and, of course, their friends within.
Just remember, regardless of the ICJ outcome, standing up for humanity can never be a bad thing.
Hold the line! ❤️🇿🇦🇵🇸❤️
I was the only journalist in the room at the International Court of Justice.
30 accredited journalists were in a different wing, just watching what the livestream showed.
I believe my report shows why you have to actually be there.

South Africa legal team's Adila Hassim @CIJ_ICJ: “Genocides are never declared in advance, but this court has the benefit of the past 13 weeks of evidence that shows incontrovertibly a pattern of conduct & related intention that justifies a plausible claim of genocidal acts.”
A lot of journalists, writers, poets, artists, and intellectuals have shown themselves to be nothing more than careerist frauds. Easy to speak boldly about freedom and justice when it’s in the abstract. Harder to do the bare minimum of saying that a campaign of death is wrong.
