“These are the words of our founding president, Nelson Mandela. This is the spirit in which South Africa acceded.” – South Africa is taking Israel to the International Court of Justice in a historic move on charges of genocide. The two-day public hearing, which started today, is expected to put significant pressure on Israel, crippling Western governments’ backing of Israel’s war in Gaza.
South Africa’s genocide case against Israel marks only the second time in the history of the Genocide Convention that one state has tried to prosecute the atrocities of another. The trial, live-streamed worldwide, will provide a stage for the investigation of Israel’s genocidal intentions case.
South Africa’s speakers presented an extensive catalog of Israel’s crimes, with harrowing evidence, pictures, videos, and reports documenting the systematic extermination of Gaza. Powerful statements drew parallels between South Africa’s historic struggle against apartheid and that of the Palestinian people.
Israel is likely to argue that its killing of more than 23,000 people in Gaza is in “self-defense.” Experts say a sentence in this case could take three to four years.
