Namibia rejects Germany’s Support of the Genocidal Intent of the Racist Israeli State against Innocent Civilians in Gaza
On Namibian soil, #Germany committed the first genocide of the 20th century in 1904-1908, in which tens of thousands of innocent Namibians died in the most inhumane and brutal conditions. The German Government is yet to fully atone for the genocide it committed on Namibian soil. Therefore, in light of Germany’s inability to draw lessons from its horrific history, President @hagegeingob expresses deep concern with the shocking decision communicated by the Government of the Federal Republic of Germany yesterday, 12 January 2024, in which it rejected the morally upright indictment brought forward by South Africa before the #InternationalCourtofJustice that Israel is committing genocide against Palestinians in #Gaza.
Worryingly, ignoring the violent deaths of over 23 000 Palestinians in Gaza and various United Nations reports disturbingly highlighting the internal displacement of 85% of civilians in Gaza amid acute shortages of food and essential services, the German Government has chosen to defend in the International Court of Justice the genocidal and gruesome acts of the Israeli Government against innocent civilians in Gaza and the Occupied Palestinian Territories.
Germany cannot morally express commitment to the United Nations Convention against genocide, including atonement for the genocide in Namibia, whilst supporting the equivalent of a holocaust and genocide in Gaza. Various international organizations, such as Human Rights Watch have chillingly concluded that Israel is committing war crimes in Gaza.
President Geingob reiterates his call made on 31 December 2023, “No peace-loving human being can ignore the carnage waged against Palestinians in Gaza”. In that vein, President Geingob appeals to the German Government to reconsider its untimely decision to intervene as a third-party in defence and support of the genocidal acts of Israel before the International Court of Justice.
the staggering amount of holocaust survivors who have come out and vehemently condemned the atrocities being done by israel should tell us all we need to know about israel and its horrific actions.
history is doomed to repeat itself if we don’t learn from it. listen.
Once again, economic free fall is what led Afrikaans business leaders and the National Party of Apartheid South Africa to initiate negotiations with the freedom fighters that they had labelled terrorists for a transition into a unified democratic South Africa. BDS is our duty.
Just spoke to my family in Palestine. they asked me to share that the biggest thing you can do to help that isn’t directly donating- is to speak up about the atrocities happening in palestine. she said its so much worse than what you are seeing online. you guys need to be loud
@naledimashishi Diaspora wars are so harmful to me for this reason. Dude, we’ve all lost things, we are all lacking knowledge + context, it’s crazy to be mean over that.
