The White House on Wednesday slammed South Africa’s genocide case against Israel that was filed at the International Court of Justice (ICJ), one of the UN’s top courts based in The Hague.
When asked about the 84-page lawsuit South Africa has filed against Israel, White House National Security Council spokesman John Kirby said, “We find this submission meritless, counterproductive, and completely without any basis in fact whatsoever.”
If Israel is found guilty of genocide by the ICJ, it would implicate the US as it’s providing weapons and political cover for Israel’s operations in Gaza with no conditions or red lines. The US has also justified Israel’s attacks on civilian areas and has shrugged off the massive civilian casualty rate as the price of the operation.
The case against Israel could take years, but South Africa is asking the ICJ to immediately declare Israel is committing acts that could be considered genocidal and issue an interim order to halt its military operations, according to Haaretz. Hearings on the interim order are scheduled for January 11 and 12, and Israel is preparing to defend itself, signaling it is worried about the case.
The ICJ has no power to enforce its order for Israel to halt military operations or to take action if it determines Israel is committing genocide. But the ruling would deal a major diplomatic blow to the US and Israel.
South Africa has a strong case against Israel since over 22,000 Palestinians, mostly women and children, have been killed by Israel’s onslaught on Gaza in just less than three months. Over 50,000 Palestinians have been wounded, and nearly 90% have been displaced internally.
Genocide is defined by Article II of the UN’s Genocide Convention as “a crime committed with the intent to destroy a national, ethnic, racial or religious group, in whole or in part.” Intent to commit serious physical harm against a group needs to be shown to prove a state is guilty of genocide at the ICJ.
South Africa has included quotes from Israeli officials in its lawsuit that show Israel’s intent of “committing genocidal acts” or its failure to prevent them. When the onslaught first started, Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant announced a total siege on Gaza and said the Israeli military was fighting “human animals” in the enclave.
Another quote included in South Africa’s lawsuit is one from Israeli President Isaac Herzog, saying there are no innocent civilians in Gaza. “It’s an entire nation out there that is responsible. It’s not true this rhetoric about civilians not aware, not involved. It’s absolutely not true. … and we will fight until we break their backbone,” Herzog said.
“. . . but South Africa is asking the ICJ to immediately declare Israel is committing acts that could be considered genocidal and issue an interim order to halt its military operations,according to Haaretz.”
With respect, this is an absolutely crucial document in a crucial case related to this horror show. It would be good journalistic practice to at least skim the filing and report directly on its key contents, rather than simply citing other reports. It’s not hard to find.
The second paragraph of South Africa’s filing, before the introduction:
Emphasis added. The key reference is to “provisional measures.”
Really, everyone seriously interested in this matter should read the entire filing. It isn’t that difficult to assimilate the full 84 pages. At least it shouldn’t be.

John Kirby said, “We find this submission meritless, counterproductive, and completely without any basis in fact whatsoever.”
This is so fucking mendacious that it’s almost shocking, even for the shameless scumbag, Kirby.
Read the filing: https://www.icj-cij.org/sites/default/files/case-related/192/192-20231228-app-01-00-en.pdf
Thank you for saying it. I feel like I’m turning into an outraged lunatic, with each new bit of phuckery, so I’m trying to curb it.
Also, counterproductive to what? That’s just a stupid bit to add.
Also, counterproductive to what?
I think a little truth inadvertently slipped out. It would be counterproductive of the desired (by Israel & the US) extermination of Palestinians in Gaza.
What a surprise? What would you expect him to say?
I would expect him to be much more careful and less obviously preposterous. Apparently, though, the US and Israel aren’t bothering to make their statements and comments on the genocide even slightly believable. It’s the reckless behavior of people who think they can do and say absolutely anything with impunity. I think they are mistaken, a least as to the likely long term consequences.
“It’s the reckless behavior of people who think they can do and say absolutely anything with impunity.”
They don’t care about their souls. They denounced God a long time ago.
In a way, it’s slightly surprising they responded. I gave up cable propaganda a while ago, but have not seen any coverage of this online by msm. They are pretending it didn’t happen.
I was surprised he was so measured; he didn’t accuse South Africa of being anti-Semitic. Or accuse international law of being anti-Semitic.
Give him time…
What else does a defendant say? “Not guilty” is the standard plea.
“Not guilty” is different from “It isn’t happening; don’t believe your lying eyes.” The latter seldom works when the trier of fact is a jury and it virtually never works when it’s a panel of judges. What we’re seeing here is full-fledged contempt for what the world thinks or knows. The Biden administration clearly believes that it can support and enable the genocide of the Gazans with impunity. We shall see whether or not that’s actually the case.
The U.S. needs to be dragged before the court also. I suppose that is coming.
The South Africa lawsuit is definitely set up to hold all sorts of gov‘t officials accountable under the Yamashita Standard of Command Responsibility –
It can’t be done without consent of US government itself or else in case, US, as the state, is defeated militarily which means a war with unpredictable outcome and much greater disaster than Palestinian genocide. What most likely will happen, is the further shift of the geopolitical balance in favor of BRICS.
It can’t be done without consent of US government itself
I wonder what Trump will do..
That is simple. Trump approved Israel annexing East Jerusalem and Golan Heights. It is easy to guess which side he will be on.
That was then, this is now.
Bibi and his agent the First Son of Bitch – in law turned their back on him after the election and the Donald holds a grudge.
Trump will never support the Palestinians. He looks down on people like them. Trump said in November of last year: “There is no hatred like the Palestinian hatred of Israel and Jewish people”. Trump is also a hard liner on Iran.
And there is a good chance that Netanyahu will not be the prime minister in the future. If you are going to vote for Trump, don’t be surprised if life get harder for the Palestinians.
Trump looks down on everyone, all the same. It is part of his narcissism. It does not explain how he will deal with this issue. That is pure calculation of what and how he can manipulate the situation for his own advantage. As I just wrote above, this is no profile in courage, but it is not Biden/Blinken either.
This is now:
On the campaign trail, Trump has signaled a lack of engagement in the conflict, suggesting that he would “let this play out.” His one concrete suggestion? In an interview with Univision in November, he said that Israel needed to “do a better job of public relations, frankly, because the other side is beating them at the public relations front.”
Letting it “play out” is better than “finish them” and there is no disputing that Israel has lost on the PR front.
Letting “it play out” is finishing them. And his statement on “public relations” means he really gives a fuck about Palestinians(/s). And you can’t possibly think that he would have cut Israel off. He bashed Obama/Biden for not showing enough loyalty. Just like he did about them sending “blankets” to Ukraine instead of lethal weapons like he did. Stop defending that piece of shit.
Play out with how much of our help and cover? How much do we participate in the play? Those are significant differences.
We haveno idea what Trump would do, but we do know what Biden/Blinken are doing.
Still, that is a pretty sad, desperate, long range hope for children dying today.
I have an idea what Trump would do. He would be supplying Israel with help and cover just like Biden. There is no reason to think otherwise.
Letting it play out may well finish Israel, regardless of what he meant.
Yes, he’s an opportunist but at least he can see an opportunity and act on it. The other guy is completely befuddled.
Anyway if you know of a candidate that’s better than the other two please do tell.
Because at this point, I don’t see even a dark horse to lodge a protest vote for.
Saying “let it play out” while a genocide is in progress is hard for you to understand what he meant?
And EVERY candidate on my ballot will be “better” than Trump or Biden and I don’t even know who will be on my ballot yet.
Meanwhile:
https://theintercept.com/2024/01/04/cnn-israel-gaza-idf-reporting/
CNN RUNS GAZA COVERAGE PAST JERUSALEM TEAM OPERATING UNDER SHADOW OF IDF CENSOR
The Jerusalem bureau has long reviewed all CNN stories relating to Israel and Palestine. Now, it’s helping shape the network’s coverage of the war. WHETHER REPORTING FROM the Middle East, the United States, or anywhere else across the globe, every CNN journalist covering Israel and Palestine must submit their work for review by the news organization’s bureau in Jerusalem prior to publication, under a long-standing CNN policy. While CNN says the policy is meant to ensure accuracy in reporting on a polarizing subject, it means that much of the network’s recent coverage of the war in Gaza — and its reverberations around the world — has been shaped by journalists who operate under the shadow of the country’s military censor.
Trump is no less pro-Israel and anti-Iran than Biden and his gang.
Yet the Israelis never played the genocide card on Trump’s watch.
But they did get the JCPOA kiboshed on his watch. They got Jerusalem. They got the Golan Heights. They got the Abraham Accords. The got the most loyal ss kissing president they could have hoped for. But sure, Trump wouldn’t have allowed their genocide on the Palestinians. Trump loved the Palestinians after all.
The JCPOA was de facto kiboshed by Obama almost before the ink was dried. The Golan Heights were de facto in Israelis possession since 1967.
The Abraham Accords only codified what de facto already existed, rich Arab sheiks buying booze and partying in Tel Aviv.
De fact o the matter is ANYONE is better than Biden.
This is what happens whenever Trump gets discussed. When it’s pointed out that he was a piece of shit just like his predecessors and his successor, it’s on to him being a better piece of shit than his predecessors and his successor.
This is what happens when you point out that Trump has no new wars to his credit unlike his predecessors and present usurper.
Back to that. When in doubt let’s pretend the Don was a peacemaker. Never mind his participation in the old wars or his lifting of the rules of engagement in all of them. Same with the drones. And of course, never mind the sanctions. Fuck man, it was like Mother Therasa was in office.
You are dead wrong. Trump has no regard for the underdog regardless of the justice involved. He is a bully through and through, and has never had a good word for the Palestinians. But everything you said about his actions is true- and yet he finds himself opposed by them in the race.
My comment on Trump loving the Palestinians was sarcasm. I thought that was obvious.
The tyranny of small differences.
Biden and Blinken are Zionists of the old school, deeply committed life long believers in the extreme, as were their fathers before them.
Trump believes in little, certainly not Zionism. He exploits. He did exploit Israel issues.
What would Trump do now in different circumstances? That is hardly a Profile in Courage, but it is not the same as Biden/Blinken lifelong commitment to Zionist extremism.
You are sorta right.
If South Africa or Brazil, for example, starts issuing indictments and arrest warrants – then its likely all BRICs+ would honor them. Meaning 87% if the world off limits to those individuals.
It will only escalate the hostilities between US/NATO and BRICS. Probably it will escalate anyway. Unfortunately.
Wrong. The US is part of the 1948 Genocide Convention adopted by the UN.
The ICJ has jurisdiction over all nations, including the US, as part of the UN structure.
The US remained outside a different court, the International Criminal Court, and a different set of laws that it enforces.
“US is part of the 1948 Genocide Convention” – are you sure anyone of Biden gang cares about that?
Did Al Capone “care” about the law? Did the Unibomber?
It still came for them.
Those who serve for the state are protected by the state.
South Africa? Who are they to talk?
What was done about them is what will be done about Israel. It is now only a matter of when.
People who sing “kill the Boers”,have no moral authority to criticize others.
The Boers had to be stopped, their killing stopped, and their apartheid. Fortunately, it was not necessary to kill them all, just sanction their apartheid state out of existence.
Who are they to talk?
The can recognize apartheid when they see it – even if you can’t.
China,Russia,Hamas, and hHezbollah need to be before the wolrd court.
As prosecutors….
Be careful of what you wish for.
Keep dreaming!
I am sure, other BRICS countries will support South Africa. The rest of the world has to chose between US/NATO empire and BRICS. As time passes, it becomes clearer who is standing for democracy and justice and who has a criminal agenda.
The countries are also divided within themselves in both camps. And again, as time passes, the sympathy within almost all countries and in the humankind in general is shifting toward BRICS. It gives us hope that the humankind will be able to cope with this problem.
Kirby is true to form, he responded as was expected.

thx…and…besides posting antiwar – and online friends/acquaintances – the main “effort” is over:
now it’s just a q of working through the google doc, selecting 6 or 10 daily, plus the same note – though there’ll be a second note protesting non-supportive nations – which could be 10 words and have same effect of signifying ‘mass support including from US.’
gonna re-post future letters w/times…guessing 4 minutes per batch. best…
Turkey, Malaysia Back South Africa’s Genocide Case Against Israel
January 4, 2024
Save
The South African Foreign Ministry reportedly expects other countries to follow suit soon and express support for its case at the World Court.
The Turkish Foreign Ministry and the Malaysian Ministry of Foreign Affairs have announced that they support the case.
Turkish Foreign Ministry spokesperson Oncu Keceli said Wednesday those responsible for killing tens of thousands of Palestinians in Gaza since Oct. 7 “must be held accountable before international law.”…
The Malaysia Ministry of Foreign Affairs said late Tuesday that it “welcomes the application by South Africa instituting proceedings against Israel… concerning the violations by Israel of its obligations under the 1948 Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide in relation to Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.”
A spokesperson for the South African Foreign Ministry told The Jerusalem Post that it expects other countries to soon follow Turkey and Malaysia’s lead and back its case.

Jordan backs South Africa ICJ genocide file against Israel over Gaza atrocities
Jordan’s foreign minister said on Thursday that Amman will back South Africa’s submission filed at the International Court of Justice that accuses Israel of committing genocide against Palestinians in Gaza.
Ayman Safadi on Thursday said that Amman will be preparing the necessary legal documents in consultation with legal experts to support South Africa’s file, and will also coordinate with Arab and Islamic countries on the matter.
Last week, South Africa filed a case at the ICJ saying that Israel has violated the 1948 Genocide Convention throughout its air and ground assault on Gaza that has lasted three months.
https://www.newarab.com/news/jordan-backs-south-africa-icj-genocide-file-against-israel
Awesome, thanks!
Kirby is such a piece of shit… I’d love to see him in prison.
Lol, poor guy, prison orange after that high-end wardrobe of his, doubtful we’ll be seeing that, DC’s naturally immune to accountability 🙂
The US members of government cannot see any genocide taking place. When the CIJ declares Israel guilty, and it should if it is to have even a shred of respectability, will they admit their incompetence to hold public office and resign en mass. Ah, that would only happen if they had any self respect, but they have clearly shown that they do not.
1/ Again – Husseini’s X post (in my last post) on how you can urge nations to support South Africa’s case against Israel genocide:
Sam Husseini@samhusseini
A volunteer…put together a…document to reach out to countries critical of Israel so they back up South Africa’s #InvokeGenocideConvention at the ICJ:

Dear Belize and Bolivia Representatives,
Greetings, I am an American citizen writing to desperately ask for your help stopping Israel’s genocidal killing of Gazans by doing whatever you can to support South Africa’s case in the International Criminal Court.
I know this concerns you too, because I see both your governments have already called Israel’s US-supported behavior genocide, and cut diplomatic relations with Israel. Thank you!
Also, please know that, here in the US, I and others are working hard to say no to the US and Israel’s ghastly brazen war crimes.
Sincerely,
abramawicz [complete name posted in sent letter]
Right on!!!
Thank you, abramawicz. I’ll get started on these letters as well.
The Zionists hired Alan Dershowitz to represent them. Yes, that guy: https://twitter.com/i/status/1742903493445169585
He has always been a lobbyist and a despicable person.
They love to use that word : “radical.”
I think it’s pretty radical that they can get away with raping teenage girls and commiting and justifying genocide, but hey, that’s just me….
I think condemning Hamas will become a requirement like taking the oath of affirmation in court. Do you solemnly swear to condemn Hamas....
Rejectionist Hamas has brought untold suffering upon the People of Gaza and plenty for Israel.
And as it turns out, Israel was backing them all along. Otherwise, the genocide would be a harder sell.
I’m just waiting for them to come across the right HillBilly:
Condemn Hamas?!?
Yeah I’ll condemn Hamas for not putting their foot up yer ass sooner, cause if it were my kids, yer grandpappy’d be tasting shoe leather.
May Dershowitz burn in hell.
And I find your mouth and how loose your lying lips are, offensive. Do you think people are stupid? That 90% of the world saying something is wrong makes Israel right? You fooled nobody after your illegal wars for the self created crisis on 911, and Isreal is fooling nobody after theirs. Murder is murder, and genocide is genocide. There is no gray area here jack ass.
US lies “offensive”
imo, that reaction – anger and disgust on a world scale – is what’s shaping up now:
Like Israel, the US actually now has little choice but to double down denying and rationalizing genocide – making its complicity – its ‘equal guilt in Israeli war criminality’ – complete.
Even if the US ICJ President managed to undermine the case (South Africa has the power to appoint a judge, which may prevent that)…
…the justice denied will inspire more international anger, disgust, and action.
Well the truth of the matter is he’s not speaking to me. I’m speaking truth to power, he’s speaking power to truth.
what
Yes,and Hamas committed murder.
Ok, so that gives the civilized world the right to do the same on a level 100 times worse? They allowed this to happen, they had ample knowledge to stop it, just like our government did on 911, and chose not to, to advanced their own agenda. I see the same here.
our government did not let 9/11 happen.
our government made 9/11 happen.
Definitely, Zionists belong to a civilized world but unlike our civilization, their civilization is anti-Christian. Hamas (they say it was a local branch of Hamas which acted without permission of Hamas headquarters) triggered an escalation of the clash of civilizations. Israeli authorities took the bait. Now all the world is excited and involved one way or other.
Christians have had many wars among themselves,many persecutions, and often have shown lack Christian behavior.
Wars and persecutions are the result of betrayal of Christian ideals by elites. Also it is a result of the ignorance. On the other hand, without Christianity, all the world would be like Israel and Gaza.
Tell that to the natives in the New world worked to death in mines a certain religious group
Yes,humanity was really well served by Christian clergy who enslaved the Native Americans and worked them to death in gold mines, and clergy who ran the rat lines for escaped Nazis and Croat war criminals.
Definitely not a genocide (/s) .
….. Far-right activists chanted slogans cheering for the death of an 18-month old Palestinian outside a courthouse in central Israel as the late toddler’s family walked near them following a hearing Tuesday.
Referencing toddler Ali Saad Dawabshe, killed in a 2015 arson attack carried out by Jewish terrorists, right-wing extremists chanted “Where is Ali? Ali’s dead,” “Ali’s on the grill” and other hate slogan…..

….the baby who was burned alive is now part of depraved Israeli marriage rituals, where they take photos of him and stab it as a symbol for all Palestinian babies they want to burn and kill. Ben Gvir, now a top member of Netanyahu’s government, has joined in this genocidal ritual:…..

John Kirby Calls Putin Depraved, Gets Emotional About Ukraine War’s Cruelty
https://www.newsweek.com/john-kirby-calls-putin-depraved-gets-emotional-about-ukraine-wars-cruelty-1702346
Same f*cking guy says this:
“We find this submission meritless, counterproductive, and completely without any basis in fact whatsoever.”
About this:
South Africa has a strong case against Israel since over 22,000 Palestinians, mostly women and children, have been killed by Israel’s onslaught on Gaza in just less than three months. Over 50,000 Palestinians have been wounded, and nearly 90% have been displaced internally.
And that doesn’t even include that 1/4 of the population is on the verge of starvation or that the spread of disease is rampant with most of the medical facilities destroyed by the IDF.
here is the take-away = “over 22,000 Palestinians, mostly women and children, have been killed by Israel’s onslaught on Gaza”
He’s a Fed. In their eyes, international laws are nothing more than tools to promote Neo-Con interests abroad. The same as federal laws chief function is to promote the interests of oligarchs at home.
Kirby knows he’s a liar .. another soulless apologist for mass murder.
, “We find this submission meritless, counterproductive, and completely without any basis in fact whatsoever.”???
“ Denial, panic, threats, anger – those are very human responses to feeling guilt”
Joshua Oppenheimer
“ “Someone who refuses to see the truth will accept the lie.” Well.”
— Gena Showalter
Then they wonder why (in their words): “There are actors out there that would do us harm.” The implication is that we never harm and are totally innocent of any wrong-doing EVER.
How will the Zionazis rig this? … Seth Rich and Jeffrey Epstein spring to mind immediately??
Hamas was influenced by the Moslem Brotherhood,who were influenced by Nazism-so who are the Nazis here? Facts,.
did you just try to equate muslims with nazis who literally hated every body except for blue-eyed blondes? wow i thought you were smarter than that.
i guess not.
Hamas and the Muslim brotherhood do not represent all Muslims.
How?
how what?
Facts:
Netanyahu: “Anyone who wants to thwart the establishment of a Palestinian state has to support bolstering Hamas and transferring money to Hamas,” Netanyahu told a meeting of his Likud party in 2019. “This is part of our strategy – to isolate the Palestinians in Gaza from the Palestinians in the West Bank.”
“Bezalel Smotrich, leader of Israel’s Religious Zionist Party and the current finance minister: The PA is a liability and Hamas is an asset. On the international playing field in this game of delegitimization, think about for a second, the PA is a liability and Hamas is an asset. It’s a terrorist organization. Nobody will recognize it, nobody will give it status at the ICC [International Criminal Court] and nobody will let them push resolutions at the UN [causing us to] need an American veto,” Smotrich said in 2015.
Look, the Warzaw ghetto had resistance fighters, so any civilian casualties have to be seen in context.
Hmm, I don’t think the Izzies would accept that argument. But of course, whatever is good for them is acceptable, whatever is bad for them is not acceptable. Truth and lies and logic are just tools to be used or discarded. Massive ethnic cleansing is a peace operation.
And Joe Biden knows he needs donations and big-media support to win re-election.
Warsaw resistance fighters did not enter Germany,they stayed in the death trap ghettos and were only on the defensive.Absolutely no comparison.
US doesn’t recognize ICJ… So, why is it crying…?!
You’re thinking of the ICC not the ICJ.
America doesn’t recognise the right of the ICC to try American generals for their warcrimes. It does recognise the ICJ which is an older and more integral part of the UN structure.
I stand corrected…!
The Biden regime in Washington DC is getting deeper and deeper in its immorality. Now it denies the Israeli genocide of thousands of women and children in Gaza. It says that it is “completely without any basis in fact“.
On what planet do those people live?
If people can deny that Oct 7 was not a pogrom,then….
It was a prison break
So cutting off fingers had heads is a prison break? Oh,wait,I guess prisoners are fond of raping.
Every accusation is a confession. What you describe is how Israel was established, not what Hamas did.

Not really.
Very much so. These rape claims against Hamas militants aren’t even accusations, they’re just insults. No one who personally knows any Arabs or Muslims actually believes such drivel. Israel is an out of control genocidal war machine that’s determined to drag America into its own destruction.
Rabies.
You’re living in a Zionist bubble and don’t know any Arabs or Muslims, and it’s because of the support of people like you that Israel is blowing off the limbs of young children & massacring their families to steal their land.
The planet of the US Federal Government, champion of the oligarchs, enemy of humanity, and all around cancer on an otherwise great country.
I suggest you refuse to collect social security-it is paid for by that very government.
By the time I retire it’s probably going to cover the cost of a can of tuna a month
He saw “1950” and thought you were already retired. That’s just one of his ways of justifying the US taxpayers annual $4 billion donation to the little parasite.
So you support the Ukraine parasite, the border parasite,the university parasite..
I don’t support any foreign aid. But nice deflection. Again.
They live in Imperial Zioconia on the planet Impunity. They had a license from G-d to kill their enemies, but it may
The ICJ order Russia to halt it invasion of Ukraine in March 2022. So how did that work out?
“We find this submission meritless, counterproductive, and completely without any basis in fact whatsoever.”
Translation: “We are mad that people are trying to enforce international law in a rational and neutral manner. We wish the whole world would adopt our “rules based order” instead where the “rules” are the Neo-Cons can do no wrong. And Russian man bad. And Chinese man bad. And Persian man bad. And Gazan man bad.”
“Rules based order” = “my way or the highway.”
This attempt to schoolmaster millions of South African citizens who know from experience what their government is talking about is at least gross if not deliberately insulting. It is no wonder that Biden is losing African American votes.
Hopefully he’ll lose almost all of them.
Just repeat their words back to them — Israel’s leaders are so arrogant, cocky and to-the-bone racist, that they publicly talk about genocide and forced relocation of Palestinians. That should prove “intent” beyond a shadow of a doubt.
As if Hamas and Hezbollah are not bigoted.
Hamas and Hezbollah are actually resisting occupation.
Propaganda that teaches hate and destruction is not a tool of resistance fighters,they are monsters. They deliberately provoked Israel, full well knowing the response,perhaps to break up Saudi-
Israeli detente.It is your so called resistance fighters that have cost 22,000 Gazan lives and massive Gazan homelessness.
I yield to your point Jake, I do.
The best way to avert WAR of any shape or size, is by utilizing Peace.
Isn’t that what Ukraine is doing but you don’t support it. Hmm, I wonder why.
What a bunch of losers US politicians are. They dragged us through Vietnam for a decade (was there ever any explanation for why we spent a decade killing Asians?), and the same people started every useless and illegal war since then. Isn’t it time we demanded the ouster of the neocons and warmongers? If we keep electing these morally corrupt paranoid degenerates, we are complicit.
Keep digging Joe. I’ll be happy to cheer you on.
Of course they say this. They are proper co-defendants, and equally liable to the same justice.
It will come for them.
I saw this phrase in another post, to state the obvious, it captures the utter criminality and the habitual lies of Israel:
“Israel’s inhumanity toward the people of Gaza, the incomprehensible suffering, the radical injustice.” I should add, with the insane support of the us , insane read zionist.
Nothing would give me greater pleasure than to the see the Zionists and their American LACKEYS in the International Court , infact the Americans should have been in the International Court decades ago with their constant war mongering and war crimes .
Nothing would give me greater pleasure than to see the woke at the new mount Mckinley detention center.
Quack quack quack
The obviousness of Israel’s genocide campaign only shows that with only one nation filing charges (South Africa), Israel has the world in its bloody greedy financial pocket!
Yes they control China,Russia,India, Brazil-all larger and wealthier countries.
