Nothing justifies genocide


Lawyers representing South Africa have concluded their three hours of detailed descriptions of what South Africa says is a very compelling case of genocide that Israel is now committing in Gaza before the International Court of Justice (ICJ).

South Africa is asking the ICJ to quickly decide on urgent provisional measures to order Israel to stop whatever it is doing in Gaza.

The descriptions of genocide present the most detailed and most gruesome of genocides in recent history.

To my mind, the three-hour oral presentation of the South African case against Israel can be summed up in three words: Nothing justifies genocide.
