This is beautiful news @IdeletedbutI'mbackagain (god your name is a mouthful) enjoy that news and hold them tight
They represent the best of humanity 🩷🩷 I sobbed watching Blinne. I think she nailed it. I am shaking after all of this.Lol I might have to fight you for them myself. She is brilliant. She sounds soo calm and in control too.
I was thinking the team has been as good as I thought it would be, brown faces, white faces, different accents, both sexes, various ages.
With lies which won’t be hard because every time they open their mouth oops out pops another one.Part of me feels sorry for Isreals counsel. They can’t address any of those damning accusations with 7/10 stuff really because it’s not about that. It’s about every day since it’s about prior to that and as they made clear; nothing absolutely nothing, is an excuse for genocide. They have to try to convince the court it’s not a genocide and I don’t know how it’s possible
Thing is, there’s no defence to genocide, so they can only address their actions as a retaliatory war. Their entire schtick will be it’s not genocide it’s a proportionate response to the horrific acts of 7/10…the worst attack on Jews since the Holocaust, although many of those killed and captured weren’t Jews or even Israelis, gotta get that H in! We should have a bingo card of the words they will use. I’m guessing they will quote Hamas manifesto as saying they want the eradication of Isreal so they are defending themselves from that. 🥱With lies which won’t be hard because every time they open their mouth oops out pops another one.
I wonder if it will be Hamas Hamas that’s all they ever say. If they get out of it it won’t be on the list evidence but with bullying and intimidation behind the scenes let’s hope they haven’t got any dirt on the judges.
Except that 'self-defence' or war crimes from Hamas (what they did on Oct 7th amount to war crime) justify genocide in international law. So, if SA can demonstrate, without any doubt, that a genocide is being commited, Israel don't have much defense.their entire schtick will be it’s not genocide it’s a proportionate response to the horrific acts of 7/10
You’re spot on I just read a bit about their case they’re basing it on self defence and the enormous difficulties they’re facing because of Hamas.Thing is, there’s no defence to genocide, so they can only address their actions as a retaliatory war.

It’s sad they get to go second because obviously there’s no cross examination or opportunity to show how blatant their lies are.
But there’s no defence to genocide (which is the charge SA is bringing) so it’s incumbent on the Isreali defence team to prove it’s not a genocide so they will attempt to claim it’s a justified self defence attack from a serious threat to their sovereignty. It’s their only option. They can’t accept it’s a genocide obvs, so they have to dispute it’s a genocide and can only state that their actions are self defence, which they believe under the terms of war are acceptable.Except that 'self-defence' or war crimes from Hamas (what they did on Oct 7th amount to war crime) justify genocide in international law.

Quoting myself like a dork, it's supposed to be doesn't justify genocideExcept that 'self-defence' or war crimes from Hamas (what they did on Oct 7th amount to war crime) justify genocide in international law.
It's what they will claim but if SA can prove, without a doubt, that a genocide is actually happening (which they have a solid case for all the definitions except article IIe, ie the forced transfer of children), the defense of Israel will be pointless as there is no justification to genocide. I still don't think Israel will be find guilty, but it won't be because of any failing of SA's case.Isreali defence team to prove it’s not a genocide so they will attempt to claim it’s a justified self defence attack from a serious threat to their sovereignty
Bib, thank you, it really does mean something when you can't physically go yourself 🩷Hi all,
I haven’t really been active on here due to some health issues, but still speaking up for Palestine when I can!
I’ll be at the national march this Saturday in London and will raise my voice from all of us in this thread as previously promised
Hope you are all doing well
So the SA case hinges on intent and like you say they’ve got a very strong case, I mean damn the fkrs are saying the quiet bits out loud…on lots of occasions. I agree though, the result won’t be representative of SA case nor judged on its merits, the case will be judged geopolitically we just gotta hope some of the bad ass nations like Russia and China stick it to the Israelis!Quoting myself like a dork, it's supposed to be doesn't justify genocide

I do wonder if the rumour about Israel showing their snuff movie of Oct 7th tomorrow is true. They have been very secretive about it, only showing behind closed door.
Disgraceful. It came up the top of my page when I googled "ICJ hearing" just now. Reported it, not expecting google to do anything about it.Wow, they have sponsored ads accusing SA of "blood libel"

I just read a piece on the times of Israel they are claiming that SA works for Hamas whoever is keeping the looong list of people that are Hamas or working for them can they please add SA even though their delegation was multicultural the Zionists are such .Disgraceful.

I think, basically, at this point we are all Hamas.I just read a piece on the times of Israel they are claiming that SA works for Hamas whoever is keeping the looong list of people that are Hamas or working for them can they please add SA even though their delegation was multicultural the Zionists are such .
The comments are the best the lawyer was spot on when they said they don’t believe that they’ve done anything wrong, I’m just wondering if Hamas is to blame when the Israelis have bad weather or when they one of them gets a cold.
To be fair, I can see why people would want to. Hell, I've had some thoughts of being Hamas!I think, basically, at this point we are all Hamas.
This is the sort of gig my kids would pull from toddler to teen. You know, hands in the cookie jar scenario and they STILL claim it wasn't them or it was their sibling even when caught in the act or with chocolate all round their face, or the pen in the hand next to the wall with scribbles on. Its actually ridiculous that a country that's 75 years old behaves like a toddler!I just read a piece on the times of Israel they are claiming that SA works for Hamas whoever is keeping the looong list of people that are Hamas or working for them can they please add SA even though their delegation was multicultural the Zionists are such .
