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".

Trump accused of genocide threat after warning Iran its “civilisation will die tonight” | BBC News

Published

on



Donald Trump has been accused of threatening war crimes and genocide, after he told Iran that “a whole civilisation will die tonight” unless it agrees to reopen the Strait of Hormuz. He has also threatened to destroy Iran’s bridges, power plants and other infrastruction. The US President set a deadline of 8pm EST for Iran to comply.

Pakistan, which has been acting as mediator between the US and Iran, has called on Trump to extend the deadline by two weeks “to allow diplomacy to run its course”.

A growing number of US Democratic politicians are calling for President Trump to be removed from office. Dozens of Democratic lawmakers accused Donald Trump of “threatening genocidal war crimes” or being “too dangerous” to “have the nuclear codes”. Senior Democrats in the House of Representatives have called on Republicans to join them in a “vote to end this reckless war of choice in the Middle East before Donald Trump plunges our country into World War III”.

Pope Leo said that threats directed at Iran’s population were “truly unacceptable”. The Pope, who is American, has increasingly voiced criticism of the Iran war.

The US Vice President JD Vance was separately accused of threatening the use of nuclear weapons against Iran, after he said the US had “tools in our tool kit that we so far haven’t decided to use. The President of the United States can decide to use them and he will decide to use them if the Iranians don’t change their course of conduct”. Asked to clarify his comments, the White House said “literally nothing” Vance said implied such a threat.

Iran has said it will not be intimidated by US threats and said it would continue its military campaign against US allies in the region
