South Africa’s 84-page filing says Israel’s actions “are genocidal in character because they are intended to bring about the destruction of a substantial part” of the Palestinians in Gaza.
It asks the ICJ, also known as the world court, for a series of legally binding rulings. It wants the court to declare that Israel “has breached and continues to breach its obligations under the Genocide Convention,” and to order Israel to cease hostilities in Gaza that could amount to breaches of the convention, to offer reparations, and to provide for reconstruction of what it’s destroyed in Gaza.
There has never been anything on the scale of Israel’s apartheid. There have been things like it that are absolutely abhorrent, like South African Apartheid and it’s inspiration, Jim Crow. But there has never been such a widespread, indiscriminate, long term genocidal apartheid.
