UN court hears South Africa case accusing Israel of genocide in Gaza | BBC News

Published

on



The UN’s International Court of Justice is hearing a case brought by South Africa accusing Israel of committing genocide against Palestinians in Gaza.

The submission also calls on the court to order Israel to stop military operations there.

The ICJ will deliver only an opinion on the genocide allegation as the case is not a criminal trial, although it is being closely watched.

Israel has vehemently rejected the accusation as “baseless”.

    South Africa Genocide – 486 260 South Africans were murdered between 1994 and 2017.

    Fifty-eight people died in South Africa today. And yesterday. And tomorrow, 58 more will die. I am not talking about Covid-19 (Coronavirus) deaths. I am referring to the number of murdered people.

    With about 2500 deaths so far, world stock exchange prices have declined remarkably – described by some as the worst since the 2008 financial crisis, with some investors fearing an imminent worldwide recession.

    Why, despite not one case of Covid-19 in South African at the time of writing, is everyone in the country on high alert while many South Africans and the government remain unconcerned about the scourge of murder that far, far outweighs the Covid-19 threat?

    BusinessTech reported that the UN Office on Drugs and Crime’s July 2019 report said more than 486 260 South Africans were murdered between 1994 and 2017.

    Nyetanyahu was indicted, like Trump , and supported his IMEC stated at UN vowing it's success depended on destruction of Hamas around sept. 25th, and provoked Palestine with new expansion plans with Hamas attack plans in hand. That's all you need to put Nyetanyahu and Trump in jail for good. For the good and peace of the planet.

    Did UN condemn the Arab countries that are cleansing Christians? Did UN condemn the Muslim plastilin who are cleansing Christians from Judea and Samaria? You can check statistics that in the Middle East, the only safe place for Christians is in Israel.

    According to the BBC: Traders in Gaza are buying food supplies for 10 shekels and then selling them for 200 hundred or 250 hundred shekels. A sack of flour from a supply warehouse costs 60 shekels and is then sold for 300 hundred shekels , which is 5 times more!Is this the way they behave towards one another.

    Israel says it only wants to destroy Hamas, but from their words, it seems like anyone is Hamas. Including terminally ill people in hospitals, newborn babies, and now their fellow signatory and global peer, South Africa. What a way to think, while having access to billions in military equipment.

    Go and do your research BBC! South Africa is in a reverse apartheid state, there is noooooo democracy. The South African government are terrorists, go and have a look what they have done in the past and are still doing it.

    South Africa is commendable and awesome for standing and fighting for an underprivileged people and for humanity. So admirable to be the champion of #democracy! I'm just in awe of that country and its people.

Battle in the Black Sea – Russia and Ukraine intensify attacks on shipping | BBC News

Published

on



Russia has been ramping up its efforts to strangle Ukraine’s commercial links to the outside world, by launching waves of attacks along the country’s Black Sea coastline.

While there have been Russian attacks on international vessels before, they’ve never been so numerous or so deadly. Ukraine’s port administration says there were 57 Russian attacks on civilian vessels last month. Ukraine’s once bustling ports – such as Odesa, Chornomorsk, and Pivdennyi – are almost devoid of ships.

Ukraine is also targeting shipping in the war, with recent, highly successful attacks on Russian vessels, including sanctioned tankers carrying oil, as well as ships involved in carrying supplies to Russian-occupied Crimea.

Using its own drones, Ukraine has struck around 200 Russian vessels, bringing traffic in the strategic Sea of Azov to a virtual standstill.

In one of the deadliest strikes across Kyiv this year – which started after midnight on Wednesday – at least 44 people were injured after residential buildings, a railway station and warehouses were hit, Zelensky said.

The Russia defence ministry said it had struck logistics hubs and supply centres in Kyiv and the surrounding region.

Published

Iran says it has agreed a shipping route with Oman in the Strait of Hormuz that could pave the way for the vital waterway to reopen.

It follows more military threats from US President Donald Trump, if Iran doesn’t agree to a deal for free passage.

Meanwhile, Yemen’s Houthi rebels say they have attacked a Saudi oil tanker in the Red Sea, while Israel has conducted strikes in southern Lebanon, accusing Hezbollah of violating the ceasefire.

And inside Iran, the UN say 56 people have been executed since mid-March on charges relating to national security.
