- Colombia has requested permission from the International Court of Justice to intervene in South Africa’s case against Israel for genocide in Gaza, aiming to protect Palestinian safety and existence.
- The ICJ has ordered Israel to ensure timely food supplies to Gaza and previously instructed Israel to refrain from actions under the genocide convention and to prevent genocidal acts against Palestinians, which Israel denies, attributing its actions to targeting Hamas rather than civilians.
Is this the genocide case started by south Africa? Isn’t south Africa currently supporting Russia?
They don’t support Russia in any way that is conceivably comparable to how the US, UK, or Germany are supporting Israel. There is no equivalency.
Yes they fucking do https://www.nytimes.com/2023/06/12/world/africa/south-africa-russia-us-lawmakers.html
Fucking hypocrites.
That’s a shaky, unproven allegation for something that is far far far far faaaaaaar less intense compared to the West’s support for Israeli crimes.
It has nothing to do with Russia. It’s a formal process started by South Africa (who have a long-standing interest in Palestinian human rights because of Apartheid). They have so far been formally joined by Nicaragua and now Colombia.
A bunch of other countries have expressed support and may join at a future date, including Ireland and the African Union.
Every second we spent talking about Palestine is time we aren’t talking about Russia. Do the maths and u try pretebd u care about saving the maximum number of human lives possible and u will find that Palestine means nothing compared to the Russian threat.
Agree. That’s why Israelis should cease fire immediately, dismantle the occupation and apartheid, recognize Palestine and pay reparations. So we can focus on what’s actually dangerous to world peace.
Let’s focus on the small little distraction fish while the big fish is getting away Scott free.
genocide: small little distraction fish
War crimes maybe genocide nope. Genocide requires intention the soldier civilian ratio is almost identical to that of comparable heigh density warfare.
No, we can talk about both and palestine situation is a lot worse.
I can give u 37504418 reasons why the Ukrainian situation is more important.
Yes they do and Russia is happier than ever. The more that people talk about Israel/Gaza, the less they talk about the Russian strategy in Ukraine being mass murder, rape and torture of civilians.
Wow, those are some serious mental gymnastics, if you think people are only upset about a literal genocide as some sort of distraction.
Still, if that’s what you and @muntedcrocodile genuinely believe, I’d expect you both would be posting articles on the Russian invasion of Ukraine and drawing the kinds of attention you want for that issue.
But when I look at your profiles, neither of you appear to be doing that.
I haven’t posted a single thing for anything on this account go find my .world account and u can see all the Russian shills I argue with.
Okay I went and had a look at it, you’re still not posting any articles. You need to contribute more content on Ukraine if you want people to talk about that content.
The threads part of the fediverse is small, it doesn’t get the paid political astroturfer shills and bots that reddit gets. Most people on here are real people holding real opinions.
You’re not going to win more attention for Ukraine by telling people like me that we are somehow pro-Russian just for caring about a genocide.
So endless arguing with people who are pro Russia and up voting most posts I see pales in comparison to posting about it. Would you be satisfied if I wrote a bot to spam the fediverse?
I’m not saying ur pro Russia I’m simply saying that Palestine is a distraction by every metric and of a magnitude insignificant to that of russia.
Did u know that the civilian solder death ration in Palestine is almost identical to all city based warfare. Is it a war crime probably but then again there are hundreds of those in every war, is it a genocide no.
I know for a fact that’s completely false. The civilian death toll in Gaza is much higher than in comparable conflicts. You’re clearly regurgitating fake facts from Israelis or something.
In fact the Gaza death toll in 5 months was 1.5% of the population (hald of whom are children). For comparison in 2 years the Bosnian Genocide death toll was 3% of the population.
Look I was sympathetic to you wanting people to talk more about Ukraine but trying to derail other conversations and denying a genocide is not cool.
I’m interested in human rights of all kinds and I’m going to talk about all of them as much as I want.
