"Examining South Africa's ICJ Case Against Israel: Legal Battles and Moral Thresholds"
TL;DR Summary
South Africa has brought a genocide case against Israel to the International Court of Justice (ICJ) in The Hague, citing the 1948 United Nations Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of Genocide. However, the application lacks hard evidence and careful legal precedent, relying on biased sources and flawed arguments. The case is criticized for its deceptive propaganda and lack of substantial evidentiary basis, with the hope that the ICJ will see it as anti-Israeli propaganda and dismiss it.
