South Africa's non-case is making Patsies of The International Court of Justice
South Africa, not a party to the conflict, not having suffered damages from it, has no standing in any legitimate court!
DEFINITION: LEGAL STANDING
"It shocked the souls of humanity, the world should absolutely be outraged, the world should be shamed" - uttered with convincing self-righteousness the "human rights" activists, representing South Africa. One hypocrite was followed with similar balderdash from another white-wig-wearing, black-robed French-speaking antisemite standing in front of the International Court of Injustice.
“The souls of humanity should be shocked,” voiced these Hamas-and-Qatar-financed operatives, terrorists in black robes, bringing the case against the victim, Israel; a case, brought not against the perpetrators that started the carnage October 7th, but against the defenders of the victims of October 7th.
The crime? Israel is preventing the repeat of the intended genocide of that horrific day by those who promised to repeat it over and over. This sovereign nation is exercising its right of defense by hitting back at areas from where over 12000 explosive rockets were launched at it just in 2003.
Creating a field of dead Jews “FROM THE RIVER TO THE SEA,” is the very slogan shouted by the butcher’s defenders and the hundreds of thousands of bloodthirsty antisemites marching across the globe.
“It is disproportionate, these activists snickered to the court, an unjustified over-reaction.”
What they meant was to suggest, to balance the scale, Israel should have supplied HAMAS’ terrorists with a proportionate response, perhaps by transferring half the Jewish nation’s multi-billion dollar Iron Dome air defense system to be used against itself. While at it, why not transfer half of Israel’s arsenal: munitions, tanks, and jet fighters, night vision equipment, to make the final results equitable, diverse, inclusive and WOKE?
These hypocritical terrorists in black robes implied that Israel should not pursue the murderous thugs hiding behind other people’s children and women in hospitals, homes, schools and mosques, under which they dug hundreds of bunkers and escape tunnels. What they really meant was to protect their terrorists and the history between the two genocidal mass murdering people.
More astonishingly, they implied Israel was the only combatant in this conflict, that no lethal, armed opposition committed to murdering Jews came out of Gaza.
· The internationally-recognized right ‘IN HOT PURSUIT’ did not exist for Israel only.
· Before Israel invaded GAZA on October 23rd, the South Africans protested “Israeli war crimes.” Israel’s wholly-justified military operation began October 27th!
· The prosecutors failed to remember the war crimes: 3000 rockets with explosive warheads were launched into Israeli civilian areas just that single day! Dear “human rights activists,” please tell us, which party intended genocide?
· After Israel killed a thousand bloodthirsty rapists and child molesters, these righteous black-robed rubes argued, why did the Jews still have to commit genocide against another seven thousand Jihadis who beheaded and burned Jewish babies alive and kidnapped grandmas? Was that “fair?”
They forgot to add, “Who needs Jewish babies and grandmothers anyway, you?”
It was a grinding, barren of facts, twisted, soulless day's litany of mischief and malevolence: imagined Israeli "war crimes" dressed up in black robes.
It avoided all context or meaningful historical fact, or that there are two, and not one combatant to this story, fighting as I write this, in real time; or the reasons Israel responded. Representing known terrorists recognized by every civilized nation, arguably even worse than ISIS, these South African deviants never mentioned the 240 innocent civilians kidnapped, beaten, raped and held hostage underground in dark dungeons and HAMAS’ tunnels, none of whom received proper medical care or sustainable food and water.
South Africa enthusiastically hosted leaders of Hamas prior to their filing the genocide case. Then South Africa aided and abetted terrorism – a capital offense in the United States.
For these self-righteous “human rights activists” the fact that HAMAS, aka “Palestinians,” violated all norms and laws of warfare and human rights, is of no consequence, not when the hatred of Jews craws at their guts keeping them awake at nights.
* Never mind that an entity not a party to the conflict that has suffered no harm itself (South Africa), has no standing in any legitimate court, and no other nation has joined them!
* Never mind that South Africa’s clients, “The Palestinians,” an invented people who never existed in history, gave the world 1200 dead and 4000 wounded Jews and non-Jews in just one day, and demolished entire communities, wiped out entire families. After which these righteous advocates for “human rights” partied with Hamas terrorists they had invited to Johannesburg to celebrate genocide – just not the genocide South Africa has itself committed.
* Never mind that the party bringing the lawsuit intended that HAMAS’ actions should suffer no consequences. For them, only Jewish self-defense should.
* Never mind that the South Africans have intentions: they mean to punish Israel for its having done business with the former regime a half century ago, holding Israel alone responsible for the crime of South African apartheid it had nothing to do with, while ignoring the other 150 nations having done, and are still doing business. China for example, for whom the South Africans have willingly opened ports.
* Never mind that the legacy of the current regime, "necklacing," also seen HERE and HERE, burned their political victims alive with gasoline and rubber tires.
* Never mind that South African blacks murdered 70,000 South African whites since the end of apartheid. In this context, their case in support of HAMAS can be better understood.
The sons and daughters of these South African hypocrites, barbarians and Jewhaters, adorn themselves with white wigs and black robes. Incidentally, they left the cans of gasoline and burning tires back in Johannesburg.
There the smug sit with plastered-on self-rightheous faces, sometimes bursting out in laughter, in a court that has always favored them, sporting African colors to impress the world’s naïve, propagandized audiences. There they sit in judgement of their victims for the crimes of the perpetrators they so-enthusiastically defend, and to whom they’ve given a free pass.
Injustice dressed up as justice?
The victimizers and the defenders of the terrorists, as well as the terrorists themselves, demand social justice. Social Justice? I’ll tell you what!
HAMAS, who are also known as “Palestinians” working toward the same goal, will get a sorely needed justice of the poetic kind. This, after they’ve lobbed tens of thousands of explosives into the gardens and kindergartens of people much more human, humane, worthier, decent, and better than these prosecutors who themselves are committing genocide right now, right HERE!
In every case of genocide, the nature of the protagonists were identifiable. In every case the victims never threatened the existence of the victimizers. In no previous case have the victims of genocide (today Israel possessing the absolute power to commit mayhem to the victimizers if they wished, both HAMAS and the Palestinians), committed neither. If the Israelis had decided to use the monopoly of force they had possessed for nearly 70 years, the court would have had a case.
They have never committed genocide, and the court does not have a case..
Never in history has one combatant supplied medical care and supplies, incubators, medicine, food and water, fuel, 700,000 warning phone calls and a million flyers dropped from the skies, giving three weeks’ notice to prepare its enemy for the evacuation from the proposed combat zone. Never has one combatant provided safe, controlled routes to evacuate, to the other.
They call that genocide?
The South Africans conflated the victims: Israeli civilians, with the victimizers: bloodthirsty armed HAMAS terrorists (aka, Palestinians) who keep admitting that their entire purpose in life is to kill Jews.
Meanwhile these smug “human rights activists” have intentionally ignored the enablers of terrorism (over 80% of the citizens of Gaza) who stood by “innocently” as tunnels were being dug with heavy equipment right under their noses, homes, schools, hospitals and mosques. Innocents, right.
12,000 rockets were fired from their backyards before October 7th, after which they rose into the streets to cheer the (hopeful) death, maiming and taking of hostages, peaceful farmers and teens dancing to the latest tunes.
Israel’s response was appropriate, correct, and legal. The reward for the SA’s case to the court of injustice?
ISRAEL INCREASES ITS SIEGE OF GAZA!
Since the legal opinions of these vile Africans - spewed as if it were Gospel - had excluded the history and the context of October 7th; since their arguments provided cover only for HAMAS and Gaza (by ignoring the context leading to the operation in Gaza), and because the prosecutors have “no standing” in the legal or moral sense, this court put itself into the position of seeming not merely tainted and unequally biased. It has no business taking up the South African’s fraudulent, dishonest, antisemitic grievances.
The court had no business entertaining their specious arguments.
There are/were Americans and Hungarians held as hostages in HAMAS’ dungeons. At least 10% of Israelis have Hungarian and American origins. They are HAMAS’ victims.
So is the entire world.
