Israel says South Africa distorting the truth in UN court Gaza genocide case – BBC News

Published

on



Israel has said South Africa has distorted the truth in its case to the International Court of Justice, where it is accusing Israel of genocide.

South Africa had presented “a sweeping counter-factual description” of the Israel-Palestinian conflict, Israeli lawyer Tal Becker told the ICJ.

South Africa says Israel is committing genocide against the Palestinians in its war in Gaza.

It is also asking the court to order Israel to halt its military activity.

The ICJ is the United Nations’ highest court. Its rulings are theoretically legally binding on parties to the ICJ – which include Israel and South Africa – but are not enforceable.

Israel is giving its defence to the court a day after South Africa presented its case yesterday.

    Did you realize that Israel has encompassed and embodied at least 8 of the "10 Stages of Genocide" as researched and modeled by Gregory Stanton, the founding president of Genocide Watch? Keep those cameras rolling people! Even though they won't allow the press inside Gaza, nor the internet and electricity to those already inside.

    Mis -understanding of Apartheid in Gaza, Palestine were not citizen of Israel , thus, the concept of Apartheid in South Africa) a policy or system of segregation or discrimination on grounds of race , economic, social and political was wrong notion on Gaza Issue. Palestine was at war with Israel since the Days of Goliath and David. Gaza was part of contested land with Israel and Palestine. In , Africa Apartheid was a legitimate issue because it was racial discrimination of white people and black people. In Gaza, Palestine people were considered as squatters by Israel Nation. There is no such things as Palestine land, Hamas were not a ragtag Guerilla force but an regular armies of the Palestine.

    Shame on BBC for not covering the points made by south africa. You are crafting your narrative by only showing one side. You should calling yourself journalists and starting calling yourselves puppets.

    Why are Israel still members of the UN? The UN have aligned themselves with Terrorists, what happened to “we do not negotiate with terrorists”? Why is my country still a member of the UN? The only country that is told that they must negotiate with Terrorists is Israel, the victim of murder, rape, kidnapping, would you want to talk to baby murderers?

    The BBC showing brief "curated" parts of the oral arguments.
    The BBC should show ALL of both presentations and allow the viewer to make up their own mind.
    Again, as if I needed it, I have it confirmed that dropping the BBC as a news source was the right move.

    Leading headline title! South Africa is using evidence collected from statements and videos created by Israeli soldiers and officials themselves, as well as actual reporting from humanitarian organizations! All Israel has to say in response is "South Africa is Hamas".

Published

Florida residents are being warned not to visit areas hit by Hurricane Milton, after it brought tornadoes, floods, and storm surges to the state.

Four people were killed by tornadoes on the state’s east coast in St Lucie County.

More than three million homes and businesses are without power, while Governor Ron DeSantis says more flooding is expected in coming days.

In St Petersburg, on the west coast, the water supply has been cut, a crane crashed into a newspaper building, and the roof of a Major League Baseball stadium was ripped off.

Some parts of the state are having 1-in-1000 year amounts of rain.

Israel’s deadliest attack yet on Beirut, say Lebanon officials | BBC News

Published

on



Lebanese officials say 22 people have been killed and 117 others injured in Israeli airstrikes on central Beirut yesterday evening.

There was no warning issued before the strikes which hit residential buildings in two densely packed neighbourhoods in Bachoura – a small Shia area in the capital.

This is the third time Israel has launched air strikes on the city outside of the suburb of Dahieh, where it has struck repeatedly.

Media outlets, quoting security sources, suggest the apparent target, Wafiq Safa, survived. Safa is a high-ranking Hezbollah official and close ally of Hezbollah’s former long-term leader Hassan Nasrallah.

Neither the Israeli military nor Hezbollah’s media office have commented.
