SOUTH AFRICAN FM: WORLD AGAINST ISRAEL

South Africa’s foreign minister believes Israel will have a tough time convincing the world its bombardment of Gaza is just about stopping H*m*s. Too many innocent Palestinians have been killed for that argument to stand up, according to Naledi Pandor.

South Africa is laying out its case of genocide by Israel at the International Court of Justice, which is holding a two-day hearing. Yesterday it was told over 23,000 Palestinians have been killed at a rate of 250 a day.

Pandor also hit back at a slur campaign waged against her by Israel’s supporters, telling reporters: ‘Insults are the last refuge scourge of scoundrels.’ Her defiant tone in this clip summing up South Africa’s unwavering drive to stop the carnage.

Israel dismisses the allegations, saying its bombardment is a justified response to Hamas’ attacks on October 7th. America, which funds, arms and backs Tel Aviv, calls the court case ‘meritless’.

South Africa hopes the ICJ will order Israel to stop its bombardment as a provisional measure, before giving its final judgement.
