The Israeli legal team dismantled today South Africa’s case, one false accusation after the other!
South Africa tried to use the people of Gaza as legal human shields to protect Hamas’ crimes.
By supporting Hamas, South Africa itself is in violation of the anti genocide convention!
I am incredibly proud to be part of this amazing team!
“South Africa is using Gazans as human shields,” is certainly a new talking point we haven’t encountered yet.
(Source.)
Hamas is using me as a human shield right now, actually.
The things people say to keep up appearances… Israel mounted a god-awful defense. It wasn’t even a defense, just a long list of excuses for why they were allowed to besiege and carpet bomb Gaza.
they did offer up 2 technicalities that could invalidate the case if the judges are biased enough.
I saw a supercut of one of the Israeli lawyers say Hamas for 30 seconds.
They didn’t dismantle anything… All they said is Hamas this, Holocaust that, isreal has a right to self determination, look at the babies that Hamas killed.
Not once did they provide evidence that the allegations were false…
The propaganda runs so deep that they think they literally have a god given right to bomb Gaza and all the civilians therein to dust, and anybody who can’t see that is clearly willingly ignoring the evidence because they sympathize with Hamas
If this case doesn’t go anywhere that the ICJ, ICC and The West as a whole have lost the last bit of credibility they had left. I hope every country in the Global South sees it and decides to say: enough is enough. Because why not? We now see on live tv that The West can do whatever it wants and no one will be held accountable. Words can not describe how disgusted I am by all of this.
Most coherent zionists
This has some real “peaked in high school” energy about it.
Like the guy who was captain of their high school footy team and always has to relate everything back to that one time they won the big game. It’s like using “human shields” as a deflection of criticism worked once for Israel, so they’ve been coasting on it ever since, and have used it every time.
The legal team being a bunch of crackkkers with soulless eyes is entirely fitting. If there’s any justice, someday each and every one of them will face trial for their actions in defending genocide.
Kind of unrelated but why are they wearing those goofy wigs? I was already confused when I watched the live stream.
It’s a British legal tradition. The ones wearing the wigs are probably British. I know that the bald guy is for sure.
Edit: I am reading about how these wigs came to be a trend and it looks like it’s because of syphilis.
But they’re in the Netherlands?
They have syphilis in the Netherlands too.
Ha ha!
Uh, do they know what “human shields” means? (They should, it’s an old fascist tactic – as we saw in Ukraine).
Me, reading the first 6 lines of the tweet: “Wow, what an idiot. Clearly just some guy with no legal training.”
Me, reading the last line of the tweet: “Wait, wait, wait. FUCKING WHAT?!”
They only have a handful of accusations, so there’s a lot of recycling.
and as the real human shields, israel is shooting against them without a doubt
Settlers are literally human shields.
are these Israel’s lawyers or the judges, I can’t really tell
Lawyers.
well, that’s at least better than the alternative
Alot of
