Report: While western media outlets, even now, refuse to use the term "genocide" for the Israeli assault on Gaza...

near unanimously, experts say it IS a genocide per the legal definition under the Genocide Convention. Israeli expert Shmuel Letterman says that is now the consensus view among genocide researchers.

South Africa Files 750 Pages of 'Overwhelming' Evidence in #ICJ #Genocide Case Against #Israel

"The glaring genocide in #Gaza is there for all who are not blinded by prejudice to see."

by Brett Wilkins
Oct 28, 2024

"The office said the document 'contains evidence which shows how the government of Israel has violated the #GenocideConvention by promoting the destruction of Palestinians living in Gaza, physically killing them with an assortment of destructive weapons, depriving them access to humanitarian assistance, causing conditions of life which are aimed at their physical destruction, and ignoring and defying several provisional measures of the International Court of Justice, and using starvation as a weapon of war and to further Israel's aims to depopulate Gaza through mass death and forced displacement of #Palestinians.'"

"#Israel Hayom: One option considered by the war cabinet is the "thinning out the Gazan population to the minimum possible level." ..."#Netanyahu sees this as a strategic goal," & asked Ron Dermer to formulate a working plan"

The article gives a sense about how this may look, the need to bypass int'l pressure..."The sea is also open to Gazans. Israel can open the sea crossing at its will that will enable a mass exodus to Europe & African countries."

Continued thread

“The Israel-Gaza war is the most dangerous situation for #journalists we have ever seen, and these figures show that clearly,” said Sherif Mansour, #CPJ’s Middle East and North Africa program coordinator.

“The Israeli army has killed more journalists in 10 weeks than any other army or entity has in any single year. And with every journalist killed, the war becomes harder to document and to understand.”

Replied in thread

On Friday, judges said the #ICJ had jurisdiction to rule on #Ukraine's request for the court to declare that #Kyiv has not committed #genocide.

However, judges will not rule on whether #Russia's invasion or recognition of the independence of areas in eastern Ukraine amount to a violation of the #GenocideConvention. #TheHague

#UN top court can rule on Ukraine case against Russia
bbc.com/news/world-europe-6818

BBC NewsUN top court can rule on Ukraine case against RussiaUkraine brought the case in 2022, accusing Russia of falsely using genocide law to justify its invasion.

today will be spent waiting to see how many news agencies cover the #ICJ in a meaningful way…

not just explaining
the #GenocideConvention,
or 'what qualifies as #genocide',
or whether an upcoming ruling is 'legally binding',
or excessively use 'accusations/accused' to avoid lawsuits

how many will present the #SouthAfrica case, or will they wait until tomorrow's hearing to highlight the #israel 'defense'

this isn't a Law & Order episode

& it won't be covered like the OJ [show] trial

Un appel pour une cyber-Intifada mondiale sur toutes les plateformes de médias sociaux les 11 et 12 janvier, en utilisant le hashtag #EndIsraelsGenocide

La Cour internationale de Justice (CIF) tiendra des audiences publiques les jeudi 11 et vendredi 12 janvier 2024 dans le cadre de la procédure engagée par l'Afrique du Sud contre Israël concernant les violations par Israël de ses obligations en vertu de la Convention sur le génocide.

Pour s'assurer que le hashtag #EndisraelsGenocide devienne tendance, nous devons tous commencer à publier sur les médias sociaux en utilisant ce hashtag en même temps.

La campagne durera deux heures et débutera en même temps que les audiences de la CIJ comme suit :

Jeudi 11 janvier, de 10 h à 12 h, heure de l'Afrique du Sud et de la Palestine (3 h HE, 12 h PT, 11 h heure de La Mecque, 8 h GMT et UTC, 16 h Chine)

Vendredi 12 janvier, de 10 h à 12 h, heure de l'Afrique du Sud et de la Palestine (3 h HE 12 h PT, 11 h heure de La Mecque, 8 h GMT et UTC, 16 h Chine)

Genocide, for all its conceptual limitations, provides a way of understanding the violence in Israel and Gaza. And so, people invoke the word genocide in its conventional sense, sometimes through genocide-related hashtags and slogans.

But long before the current crisis, scholars were debating whether Israel had committed genocide in Palestinian territories.

Along these lines, a high-ranking U.N. human rights official and lawyer named Craig Mokhiber resigned from his post on Oct. 28, 2023, because he said that, as in the past, the U.N. and Western countries were not preventing Israel’s genocide of Palestinians.

In response, Anne Bayefsky, the head of a New York-based human rights center, accused Mokhiber of “UN antisemitism” and wanting to wipe “ISRAEL OFF THE MAP!”. Her remarks echo those of others who say that it is Israelis who are at risk of genocide.
