South Africa has filed an application at the International Court of Justice to begin proceedings over allegations of genocide against Israel for its war against Hamas in Gaza, the court said on Friday.

South Africa accuses Israel of being “in violation of its obligations under the Genocide Convention” in its application and argues that “acts and omissions by Israel … are genocidal in character, as they are committed with the requisite specific intent … to destroy Palestinians in Gaza,” according to the ICJ.

You have got to be kidding 🙄

This from a country that is likely to take all private property from an ethnic minority and may exterminate that minority. In today’s world, it makes perfect sense.

Sure sounds like the South Africans would love to take the Gazans into their country to live.

They say that like it's a bad thing...

Could be a Babylon Bee headline.

I used to buy the rare South African Chenin Blanc. No more.

Ironically, the average Gazan might be an improvement on the average ANC member.

The “Palestinians” are free to surrender or at least have peace talks at any time they want.

Those South Afrika azhos don’t have any “standing”. TELL ‘EM JUDGE!

“… it makes perfect sense.”

As does all the “heads” of every department in the hierarchy at the UN!

Unimaginable, in a sane World.

South Africa? I remember years ago when the news media went into hysterics when it was believed Israel and South Africa had co-developed a nuclear weapon!

I wrote a short story and posted it here a long time ago:

Thank you. I was thinking of the Vela (Hotel) incident as soon as I read the title. Just double-checked - 1979 as I had remembered.

You got to keep in mind who’s running that country now.

Sounds like the prefect destination for Hamas refugees. We should oblige them.

Following the historical example of Haiti and recent actions from Rhodesia I am not surprised. The whites are fleeing SA in numbers and leaving the uber intelligent and diverse population to further take that country down into the cesspool. It is already dangerous for whites to travel there in SA unarmed or without protection. The legacy of the tire necklaces persists.

I figured it must be a joke too. A poor one at that.

[vpintheak]

A corrupt racist regime like SA, SHOULD have zero standing.

Netanyahu would never accept that. He wants them all in the West
