PANDOR: STOP FUNDING ‘PLAUSIBLY GENOCIDAL’ ISRAEL!

If someone’s actions are deemed ‘plausibly genocidal,’ should you keep funding them? South Africa’s foreign minister thinks not. Naledi Pandor has urged all nations to stop funding Israel while it wages war in Gaza.

Her message comes after the International Court of Justice ordered Israel to prevent its troops from committing genocide - and to take steps to improve the humanitarian situation for Palestinians.

The ICJ ruling stopped short of demanding a ceasefire, and has not yet ruled on the core of South Africa's case - i.e., on whether it’s actually committing genocide. But the court said it did find it plausible that Israel’s actions could amount to that.
