My condolences to the millions Tibetans, Uyghurs, and Southern Mongolians who lost their lands, identity, and dignity
and now become genocide victims of the Chinese regime.
Free Palestinians
Thank you South Africa… The almighty bless you people always… Free Palestinians
"Hamas turned Israel against them – the Israeli government has turned the world against Israel". This is one of the best words I've heard this week. I have JEWISH friends I grew up with the age of 10 years old, protesting for Palestine here in North America. They will NEVER go back to Israel and are disgusted with the way the government has handled the horrible actions of Oct 7th. But what the Isareli government has done is no better – in fact has been significantly more damaging. The war was against Hamas, not the innocent people they've killed. May the hostages be free and the people of Palestine finally get the state, control, and their rights to DEFEND THEMSELVES!
So what's the punishment for Israel if you find them guilty?
I live in China. Everything is miserable here, but no one dares to complain.
We Chinese hope the Hong Kongers, Tibetans and Uyghurs won't live like us any longer.
Seriously, if there is next life, I wish to be born in any other country, except China.
With same success SA could come up with idea of flat earth. Just a bunch of lies and crap.
If Israel had genocidal Intent, Gaza and Hamas wouldn’t be there today.
The highest and the last degree of corruption is using laws for oppression and injustice. Let’s see how far we have gone on this path??
In the human societies
IT IS NOT JUST THE CONSCIOUS EVIL ACTIONS OF ONE MAN THAT LEAD TO DISASTROUS RESULTS,
It is also the
small
cowardly
spineless
complacent
non-actions
that exist in each and every one of us,
all the time.
Every man is guilty of all the good he did not do. …
To the living we owe respect, but to the dead we owe only the truth. …
Long live South Africa!
For sure, Israel committed genocide crimes and atrocities against innocent civilians people in GAZA, Palestine ??.
Thank you South Africa. Thank you
Palestinian people are defend less and the world must stand with them for their freedom.
Thank you south Africa we love you???
Our goverment "is reviewing the case carefully" LMAO
Thanks South Africa
Is Global News too cowardly to report all the statements demonstrating clear genocidal intent – the South Africa document has NINE pages of them. I can't wait to hear Israel's defense for those statements "You must remember what Amalek has done to you, says our Holy Bible", "We are fighting human animals…" etc.
Do they dare to bring China to ICJ? So much of hypocrisy out there….Israel didn’t start the war
Laughable coming from a country holding hands with Putin.
So ridiculous
A week ago, multiple Israeli (state-sponsored) broadcasters like Haaretz published talks of ‘voluntairly’ deporting palestians to the state of Congo. During the Second World War, Germany originally planned to send the Jews to Madagascar, when that didn’t work out, they proceeded to their final solution. This is not any different, if this doesn’t count as genocidal intent, then I dont know what would.
Right now, genocide is being justified as human shields, ‘safe zones’ are repeatedly targeted.
Pretty much every leader in the West has accused Vladimir Putin of genocide against the Ukrainian people, yet all is blind when it comes to their allies.
Hamas’s actions are deplorable and unjustifiable, but it’s becoming painfully clear that Israel has used this event to push forward its agenda of mopping up the land ‘from the river to the sea’
Israel never started the wars
How much is Iran paying South Africa to do this?
Saying only thr court can stop it….. laughable with what guns and ammo
Sorry where is palestine?
Obviously.
This FAKE court of globalists have NO authority over ANY SOVEREIGN NATION. Take a hike!
South Africa is where honourable Nelson Mandela fought against apartheid. His words were’The world is not free till Palestine is free’
Real culprits to come and grab someone else’s land and declare themselves as ‘chosen people of the land’. They are devils in human form who are land thieves.
Thank you South Africa standing bravely on the side of justice. History will remember positively on this.
South Africa ???????
Thank you South Africa, bless you always ??????
South Africa has been paid substantial amount of money by Iran to initiate genocide case in icj
The spirit of Nelson Mandela lives.
Freee free palestine ??
Ashamed that Canada hasn’t joined SA in this
If you can't back up justice with the necessary means, you're basically a bag of hot air, carry on!
Good job SA ?
NOBEL PRIZE FOR PEACE to South Africa ?? in 2024
google "South Africa Failed State" and let the results speak for themselves.
I don't see how one can be held accountable for atrocities without the other. Both groups really mucked this one up while proving those who desire power should be the last to have it.
Does anyone really believe Israel would abide by any finding against it. Who is going to enforce this? Laws and court decisions without enforcement are useless to the people who need them most.
The World is not blind to see whats happen in Gaza , The World have a owne Mind to think who is The Agressor , everyone in This World must say that is a Genocide , Genocide , Genocide
