11 January 2023 - ICJ, The Hague
Watching African women & men fighting to save humanity & the int'l legal system against the ruthless attacks supported/enabled by most of the West will remain one of the defining images of our time. This will make history whatever happens.
Oh God! Holy Moly. I was reading Edward Said book and found this paragraph. “There are no Palestinians”,”two-legged vermin”, “drugged roaches in a bottle”, “crushed like grasshoppers”. I am shivering. This book was released in early 1990s.
"The evidence of genocidal intent is not only chilling, it is also overwhelming and incontrovertible.”
South African lawyer Tembeka Ngcukaitobi delivers a stirring testimony in South Africa's case against Israel for genocide in Gaza at The Hague.
"On average 247 Palestinians are being killed & are at risk of being killed each day. Many of them literally blown to pieces. They include 48 mothers each day, 2 every hour. And over 117 children." From the v powerful South Africa ICJ closing statement:
I just want to say how moving and powerful South Africa’s case was. You could see how much work this team put in. It was an act of love and solidarity and no matter what happens it was a historic day that lifted our spirits. 🇵🇸❤️ 🇿🇦
LIVE NOW: South Africa takes Israel to the International Court of Justice for genocide against the Palestinian people.
