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.
Here’s why Palestinians resist.
Whilst in Palestine I offered my respects to a Palestinian family whose daughter Inas Khalil age 5, and friend Nilin Asfour age 8, had been intentionally killed by an Israeli driver in the occupied West Bank. (No charges ever laid)
I had a large banner to present showing support from all over the world. I was met with aggressive Israeli soldiers trying to stop me visiting and worried I was taking pictures. The soldiers had been harassing the family.
@VanJones68 Your misspeaking should be the least of your concerns. You marched for the genocide of the Palestinian People as Israeli bombs continue to kill tens of thousands of us. You made your bed.
Doctors in Gaza are struggling to manage the thousands of patients injured by the brutal Israeli airstrikes
This was a doctor’s agonizing reaction to the desperation inside a Gaza hospital
Stop calling this a war.
There is no parity of power.
Israel has one of the most powerful, nuclear-armed militaries on earth, funded, equipped and backed unconditionally by the single most powerful, nuclear-armed military in the history of the world.
This is genocide.
In November 1984 countless Sikhs were murdered at the hands of the Indian government.
39 years later we still await justice.
But at the @NDP convention a historic step was made. A resolution was passed to recognize this violence as a Genocide.
The struggle for truth continues.
i don’t think enough Americans understand how literal it is when Palestinians describe what is happening to them. settler colonialism is not being used metaphorically. having their homes stolen is not just what it feels like it’s what it is.
Much of what’s happening in occupied Palestine will be in future history books as an example of revolutionary struggle.
Waiting until the history books tell you what to celebrate is easy.
It’s much harder to stand on the right side of history as it unfolds in real time.
Did you know the Arabic language has an “abjad” system and not an alphabet?
The Arabic abjad is made up of 28 letters, written from right to left. All of the letters are consonants, since the vowels in Arabic are denoted by diacritics.
