A two-day public hearing of South Africa’s genocide case against Israel at the International Court of Justice has concluded.
South Africa laid out a list of genocidal acts by Israel on the first day of hearing on Thursday – while Israel defended itself on Friday.
Now, the court has begun deliberations.
It will decide whether South Africa’s case is strong enough to issue a provisional measure to stop the Israeli military’s attacks on Gaza.
So, what’s the likely outcome of this case?

What about south africa itself who kills a day more than thousands and xenophobia 😢
It’s clearly indicated genocide of innocent unarmed people with world’s most advanced weapons is really our world fooled by Israel, either All agencies fake Human rights rules by evil Israeli Liers by birth
Salute to south Africa for raised the voice for innocent people of Palestine
Basic law in the society: Loyal one always suffer 😢
Harsh reality: Under the dark USA is trying to buy those Judges and also the Judgement
The was no intention to genocide by Israel and facts on the grounds in the field are not genocide but victims of an unfortunate and tragic war and complicated conflicts situations.
Can someone please explain to me why evidence of a dispute between the two states is a necessary prerequisite for icj to have juristiction , it’s clear there’s a dispute , genocide yes genocide no =dispute ?
This has begun from 7 century when turkies nomads from Asia settled on Slavs lands. Since that time khazars after destroying not only Rus Slavs people and others .
suffering Palestinians ? because of Israel? the world is completely mad.
How come Zelenskyy Ukraine 🇺🇦 president never being politico or following Ukraine tradition as Zelenskyy as jew always and his home language is Russian. Zelenskyy became as president and for two his presidency years during the conflict since 2014 Zelenskyy never made Ukraine army stronger before full invasion. He is also jew ?
All lies snd stings!!!
Im a disgusted South African. The motive behind ANC going to ICJ is more sinister than the whats happening between Israel and Palestine. All I see is stupid people
Corruption distraction tactics by ANC
This is going to depend on the USA whether Israel will abide by the ruling or not, if the US continues to supply israeli with weapons even after the ruling, than all this would have been for nothing. The US doe’s have a history of ignoring the International Court of Justice when it’s comes to it judgements. It obvious that Israel will lose the case. The problem here is the US government which continues to support Israel.
In the first years of the collapse of the Soviet Union, the Western Block was like a god of death. Now they have a balancing block between Russia and China so that the god of death has turned into a circus clown, including Israel. It’s all just propaganda or media battle.
israel are liars…
How can anyone negotiate with an opposing party , when the party does not show itself in human form?
Who, or What, is the Opposition?
Can anyone see , speak to, take a decision with an Ideology?
Where does one expect to sit with an ideology?
In hundreds of tunnels built under schools, homes, hospitals, nursing homes, churches?
Any one of the “so called experts”, can supply an answer, I would presume.
Stop running awsy from TRUTH.
TRUTH will catch up with you….
ICJ is antisemetic they will claim if they lose. 😂😂.
Why dont SA take the US that promotes abortion to ICJ. Millions of babies die everywhere. You hypocrites
Why are arab nations not the first ones to ICJ
As long as Israel is backed by the US, nothing much will change. Don’t forget S Africa was freed because US could no longer prop up the apartheid nation. What an ironic twist of events.
Do you think anyone believes you, you fat overweight coward? Don’t you realise the international community sees straight through your lies now?
For a people that claims the Germans committed such horrific acts against you, it appears you don’t have an issue doing the same to another group of people to steal their land, and to say you are God’s chosen people is utter BS, as if God would support the killing of innocent men, women, and children. And to say that God gave you Palestine is another fabricated fallacy, as you broke every rule in God’s Book. God didn’t give you Palestinian land, it was the British after WW2 and you even killed some of the British as a sense of gratitude.
The best hope for peace would be a single state for both Palestinians and Jews. For the probability of success to be improved, the population pressure cooker must be reduced: 80% of Palestinians could be taken in by Muslim cousin nations. An equal amount of Jews could migrate to NATO nations (except for Turkey). The remaining Palestinians and Jews could be offered housing in the new unified state by lottery. Call the new state Abraham if you like.
Based on the industries, and robots God is the responsible about everything
Israel Guilty of Genocide.
palestinians guilty of crimes against humanity
Satan and his followers are trying hard to destroy ISRAEL,,, THE APPLE OF GOD’S EYE❤
I thought it was telling that the words of the Israel government were used against them. Airtight I’d say, but we know justice doesn’t always work this way.
We have to have hope. The Palestinian people are counting on it ❤️🩹🇵🇸
Excellent job, bravo, South Africa 🇿🇦 🙏🏼🇵🇸
Justice for Palestine free, free Palestine 🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸
Is it a genocide or not?
Of course it is!! What makes you think this isn’t genocide, bombing hospitals, killing about 25,000 civilians, etc .What else is left to make you think it’s not genocide? That’s the most stupid question ever made by all these people. People lack common sense these days, nothing else to say 😶🌫️
nope..its not a genocide but a war.. started by palestinians government hamas, but they can stop it at any time and take responsibility for their actions.. but they want chaos.. as they say…
If it was armed conflict,why killing civilians? If it was armed conflict why broking food electricity, food water and everything to Palestinian civilians? Why occupying gaza for 16year the territory which is not theirs? We hear that we see that bombing civilians can not be accepted by un bias law. The world know the truth but we are waiting it to be announced by the court of law.
The world is watching
False protrayal of being a victim is no defence.
yes..hamas has to take responsibility for their actions and stop to play victim
Military conflicts cannot be settled in courts. The end is usually surrender, annihilation, or ceasefire.
Nothing will result, excepting what is already apparent. Someone(s) gave the Leftist/Socialist/Marxist/Communist ANC a shitload of money to go and lie their pants off in the ICJ political arena. The ICJ is one of those expensive, if not particularly useful political arenas created and run by the “Red/Green Cabal”. Though most of the actually literate world can already see the Islamist BS behind this. We need to shut down the Useless Nations UNGA jerk offs of Islamist Jew Hate. And then take a look at who should and should not be allowed to join the next International Communications Forum. Say “Howdy” to that al-Thani Emir Master of Al-Jazeera!
It is deeply disappointing to observe the actions of Arab, Asian, Latin American, and North American governments in this particular situation. Viva South Africa!
Extraordinary claim by this disgusting man that the genocide convention only applies fir the benefit of Jews. Laws do not apply for Jews. They have special rights to do anything they please, commit genocide included. As a lawyer he dares to humiliate himself in front of the international court of justice. Does it mean that the ICJ is just a joke on the people of the world? If it is we are in deep trouble. The world us lawless… until the “Global South” sweeps this filth out.
Amazing that none of people that were killed in Gaza were combatants! … Only civilians! … Al Jezira! Pathetic Fake News! 🤮
Humans are against humanity. Is War an act of God or an act of humans? If or no, why? Share your thoughts please.
Throw a way
Did small children attack Israel?
Hamas (palestinians) raped, tortured and killed small children as well… they decided to start a war and the decided to go on with the war.. its in the palestinians hands to stop at any time… its that easy
No one Country will spell it out. Nothing is different if we can all see it black and white. What intents is been waiting on again. Thanks the Aljazeera press men and women all these pictures and graphic vidoes will notbe out for the Whole World to see. We needs to stop playing with words a d Face the raality of What Nathayah and is crew has done committed Genocide. FACTS ARE FACTS. IF it is Truly ase,f Denfence why are they killing the Aljazeera press men and women. They are part of military too or Hamaz is hidden under their press uniform while recording the events. To Nathayah and Co Hamaz is inside tge hospitals playing with medical gadgets there at the refugee camp sleeping with them them thes same Hamaz iswith the civilians in their privates homes or residential areas. Thats was Nathayah unexcusable excuse for destroying and killing almost everyone in Gaza north east south or west including schools and hospitals. What kind of human does these to fellow human other than a Devil monsters in Human form. I sincerely hope justiced will be served. Palestinians will be FREE at Las Ameen t
Seriously taken out of content with Isreal ACTIONS. You are very funny man from Dublin . Mercy after Deaths is what that women is talking about. Israel is not going to stop they made their Intentions known to the World already. They felt untouchable they had violated many International Laws already. Othetwise they will not be at International courts today. Too much lies. If Israel should get away with this. We might as well forget the International courts and united Nations. Every county will do its own things without any interferance any gerdeem country or countries. Based on the view of Dublin and southAfrican petsons on this panel.
Garbage! What do you do, when you discover a breast lump or a cancer invasion within your body part?
Do you watch it spread over the whole body?
That’s what Israel is doing to Hamas, how do you define such evacuation from your body part? Wickedness.. 😮
If you don’t call this genocide, I don’t know what is.
Israel is so good at play victim
funny..i thought the same about the ever complaining palestinians who always blame anybody else for their problems… 🙄
A chance for ICJ to prove that it is neutral and stands for justice and does not act pro Israel like US and EU.
Pro Israeli media.
South Africa God is with you
Here in PNG
If I were to comment as a partly lay man I would say that both sides had presented their arguments in an exceptional and high standard which is again and again called unprecedented. However upon watching both sides’ arguments I think, above genocide Convention and ICJ jurisdiction , the Court should determine a minimum point of morality. A minimum point of morality will eventually pave way to provisional measures and render a common understanding between Israelis and Palestinians. Thank you.
Why is it often overlooked that during the early 1900s, there was a conflict between the British and South Africa known as the Anglo war? In this conflict, the British detained the wives and children of white farmers in concentration camps, resulting in the tragic deaths of 27,927 individuals, including 1,676 men, predominantly those too old to be on commando, 4,177 women, and 22,074 children under the age of sixteen. Despite historical references to this event, it seems to be consistently omitted from YouTube comments. Is this intentional neglect, or is it overshadowed by the focus on Apartheid as the primary historical topic? Should there be acknowledgment and accountability for the actions that transpired in 1900?
Double stardard!
Biased comments 🤣
To be Australian and hear this poor excuse for a man make an argument against humanity for money makes me sick to share a country with such a dispicable person. Did anyone notice his attempts to intimidate the Irish lady while she read her damning evidence to the court? my hat off to her for not cowering like Australia, or other nations have, in denouncing such evil. My applause to all who stand opposed & united, despite race, colour or creed, against barbarity and total corrupted disregard for humanity.
Why is the HAMAS’ terroristic genocidal intent against the Jews not in the conversation?
South Africa’s regime are nothing but little puppets for Iran….The Regime cannot even control Serious and violent Crime in their own country where more than 27000 people were murdered in less than a year. Where thousands of Women and children are raped each month……where basic services are non existent. Where forced blackouts and the electricity is switched off by the Regime each and every day. Where Corruption and Nepotism is rife. Where the ruling party has stolen billions and forsaken it’s own people. And now suddenly they the regime have money to pay their debt’s ……what a co-incidence.
Don’t trust the ICJ DOUBLE STANDARD THEY ALL BELONG TO USA CONTROL
THIS PEOPLE IS ALL MONEY
How can ICJ NEEDS YEARS TO COMFIRMED ISREAL GENOCIDE AS IT HAPPEN IN EVERY WORLDS EYES
Comfirmed this a double standards. THAT going to happen in ICJ, LOOK WHAT THIS HUMAN RIGH. GUY HAVE SAID. VERY STUPID LAH WHAT KIND OF HUMAN RIGHT PEOPLE IS THIS, I THINK HE IS BLINE AND STUPID
who build the wall i guess palestinians trapped themselfs.. so stupid…
Israel propebly wondered why palestinians build a wall around the tiny area they liked so much they left their origin grounds
Gaza must have been a glorious place if u wanna defend it by such a big wall that Israel owns
Payed for by American people
amd germany is trying so hard to make peace with their history.. they r allowing another genocide… second time on the wrong side of history again
even putin seems to be a good guy if u look at Israel
mentioning Nethanjahu will have the same response as mentioning hitler or stalin
I want to ask the panels of ICJ if they will allow the terrorist to enter into their homes and massacre their families will they stand quite and look or they will defend themselves? Note that when go against Israel you are against God and you know the result.
@ 00:22:50 WE MUST ADD THAT UNTIL THE SULTANS MOROCCAN EMPIRE TREATIES ARE ADHERED TO SUCH AS THE SULTANS MOROCCAN EMPIRE TREATY OF 1880 MADRID, PARAGRAPHS I AND 2, ARTICLE 15 THE 1906 ALGERCIRAS AND THE 1836 ACTS/TREATIES BY THE MOROCCAN EMPIRE STATES AND UNSEAT THE U.S. WE ARE ALL AT RISK…!!!(1.17.2024…)
…PLZ FORGIVE OUR BOLDNESS, …EVEN THE 1945 U.N. CHARTER IS A RESULT OF THE SULTANS, BEFORE HE STEPS DOWN TO BE THE KING OF THE KINGDOM OF MOROCCO IN 1956, AND THUS ABANDONED THE GRANDE MOROCCAN EMPIRE TO THE MOROCCAN MOORS TO RESURRECT THE GRANDE MOROCCAN EMPIRE STATES…!!!(1.17.2024…)
The evils 👿 never accept his fault more denied.🥺
Netanyahu’s genocidal intent is clear, he and his allies are war criminals
If one holds one country accountable for genocide then all countries that committed such atrocities should be held accountable and that is a long list !
Pathetic zionist lying a hole
Genocide for defending themselves from terrorists! What has this world come to?
There is no defence can be presented in the icj court against what south Africa presented with merit and evidance that the world witnessed. Israel intent of genocide is proven by s Africa
😂😂😂😂
Pls file against genocide case against srilanka government who did genocide against tamils in north srilanka in 2009
Srilanka also doing same thing against tamils from 1980s
God has the final say.
the court takes years to decide but everyday 300+ dies, until ICJ decides 100k + will die but it will not be enough at that time to clarify the crime…
Don’t ever work against Israel .you work against yourself .don’t dig holes .justice will prevail
Germany defends Israel 😂😂😂😂, Alolf Hitler did the crime!!!!, politics has no limit
STOP GENOCIDE.
STOP GENOCIDE.
STOP GENOCIDE.
STOP GENOCIDE.
I appreciate the efforts of the lawyers and South Africans for their valuable defense of humanity.
It took few days to issue arrest warrant for genocide against President Putin. Its just a reminder.
Israel had nothing else to say but just play the victim card. Their arguments were dissatisfying and senseless. What’s more? They lacked professionalism, one of the lawyer’s papers were disorganized and he was laughing over it in front of the jury members. None of them provided any evidence against the allegations made against them. Many pictures they showed of the victims were repeated many a times on screen. Besides, the statistics provided by them cannot be found anywhere. They were just selective in even preparing their speech which didn’t cover all the accusations but only some of them and that was not even compelling.
Massive respect for South Africa 🇿🇦 for being audacious enough to take the initiative!
Justice will be served, Ameen.
Love and prayers from Europe. ❤
Absolutely very Affirmative defense and South African should expect the question of jurisdiction south Africa missed before file application.
On merit Genocide require to prove intent, Isreal convincingly demonstrated that South Africa failed to show this requirement. If south Africa could put facts that Israel was in Gaza before October 7 the Hamas action on October 7 was retaliation that could have justified as Israel had intent to committing Genocide. Unfortunately Israel wasn’t expected to deal with hamas on October 7 that absent of knowledge is enough to deny the Genocide.
Top quotes by Harold Wallace Rosenthal..
Americans have not had a presidential choice since 1932. Roosevelt was our man; every president since Roosevelt has been our man.
Prior to 1968, the gullible gentiles could take a one dollar Federal Reserve note into any bank in America and redeem it for a dollar which was by law a coin containing 412 1/2 grains of 90 per cent silver. Up until 1933, one could have redeemed the same note for a coin of 25 4/5ths grains of 90 per cent gold. All we do is give the goy more non-redeemable notes, or else copper slugs. But we never give them their gold and silver. Only more paper,
The United Nations is nothing but a trap-door to the Red World’s immense concentration camp. We pretty much control the U.N.
Anti-Semitism does not signify opposition to Semitism. There is no such thing. It is an expression we Zionists use effectively as a smear word used to brand as a bigot, like you guys, anyone who brings criticism against Jews. We use it against hate-mongers.
It is a reality that we have complete control of organised Christianity. Almost anywhere, completely. We ‘Jews’ must become lawyers so we could control and strangle the courts, we should become teachers and leaders in all the churches.
These elites, preferring to work in private, are rarely found posed for photographers, and their influence upon events has therefore to be deduced from what is known of the agencies they employ.
We are the necessary element since we expend nothing. Management can create its own capital — the profits. Its business would grow and profits increase. Labor would prosper as well, while the price of the product would remain constant, the prosperity of industry, labor and management would continually increase. We Zionists glory in the fact that the stupid goy have never realized that we are the parasites consuming an increasing portion of production while the producers are continually receiving less and less.
We have castrated society through fear and intimidation. Its manhood exists only in combination with a feminine outward appearance. Being so neutered, the populace has become docile and easily ruled. As all geldings in nature, their thoughts are not involved with the concerns of the future and their posterity, but only with the present toil and the next meal,
We continue to be amazed with the ease by which Christian Americans have fallen into our hands. While the naive Americans wait for Khrushchev to bury them, we have taught them to submit to our every demand.
We have put issue upon issue to the American people. Then we promote both sides of the issue as confusion reigns. With their eye’s fixed on the issues, they fail to see who is behind every scene. We toy with the American public as a cat toys with a mouse.
Most zionists do not like to admit it, but our god is lucifer…and we are his chosen people…
where is ysser arafat.. hes supposed to be the none complaining to this corructpt ICj.. is south africa a deveolped country where theres no criminality orin juntice happen?
nothing all of them are the west slaves
Morally grotesque performance art by South Africa, their entire society is falling apart and instead of fixing their own house they do nothing more than express their deep antisemitism in bringing this action. It is pure paranoid hysteria to call this war in Gaza a genocide. There is no intent here, their intent is security which the Palestinains absolutely refuse to provide. The best defense is a good offence, and the Palestinains are doing this through their SA mouthpieces. The ANC, Hamas and Hezbullah live and breath through their permanent victim entitlement. Peace and a 2 state solution have been offered multiple time, always rejected by the Palestinians. Israel may be guilty of disproportionate response and even some instances of war crimes, which the leadership of Israel may and most likely should be charged with but genocide is a joke! ask yourselves if the palestinians put down their weapons what would Israel do? They would remove Hamas from Gaza and let the Palestinians try to live in peace, most definitely behind an even taller fence, and then ask yourself if the Israelis put down their weapons what would the Palestinians do? They Palestinians would slaughter every Jew in an actual genocide. Read the Hamas charter and you will see exactly who has the genocidal intent. And by the way if Genocide is the prime directive of Israel then Gaza would be more radioactive than Chernobyl. Get a grip, This is a pathetic joke. Israel isn’t going anywhere, but the ANC will be gone in a year and Hamas will be an ineffectual joke. All Hamas wants is a high Palestinian body count so that a world run by sad little liberals will gang up on big bad Israel and do their dirty work for them. My heart goes out to the common people of Palestine who are more badly abused by their terrorist usurpers than the right wing nut jobs running Israel.
We don’t have years for a decision, world leaders care not about humanity
more than a decade before a final decision was issued.
Israel owns the courts through the US in all countries.
23,000, most are women and children, so where are the men??..they run leaving their family? Of course not, obviously they are members of Hamas.
Hassan, I do not think you listened do the Israel defense with an open mind.
Hassan, did you watch the various slides the Israei lawyers displayed? You are biased.
Israel was threatened with 5000+ rocket fires on 7th Oct, 2023 by Palestinians knowing very well that there will be consequences. It is childish for them to play victim card after strike back. Only Palestinians to be blamed and not Israel for taking counter offensive. Now, it is foolish for people to support Palestine without condemning Palestine and taking adequate measures to ensure Israel’s safety. Can any of these idiots fighting to punish Israel, give assurance for safety and well-being of Israel? Can they give a permanent solution which is acceptable for both the parties?
The conversation is blunt but this women is not letting the people finish there statement
Israels intent is so clear they tried to erase all that proves there intent they have bombed there historical sites houses of worship librarys there schools museums there homes hospitals they even cut there power stopped food and medicines from coming in water the injured have no medicine to operate they mowe the lawn which means every now and then they go into gaza and kill arrest and hold foronths or years with no charges even reporters are getting killed and as for Germany they have done 2Genocides nimibia at the turn of the century and the jews
Is ICJ has the power to arrest Natanyahu if he was found guilty in the case against him filed in the ICJ? Even Putin of Russia was free until now for there wete no police power like the.ICJ. Who will enforced the law to arrest him?
Lelo podcast
As human beings we have to respect each other’s rights and no one has the right to kill anyone by any means, they have to prevent the slaughter of innocent people
Al Jazeera shouldn’t preempting a court case.
The ANC are hippocrites. Right here in AFRICA. islamist terrorist are committing a genocide of AFRICANS in Congo .Nigeria. Niger. Mozambique .Congo. and they don’t care bout AFRICAN lives.
