- Colombia has requested permission from the International Court of Justice to intervene in South Africa’s case against Israel for genocide in Gaza, aiming to protect Palestinian safety and existence.
- The ICJ has ordered Israel to ensure timely food supplies to Gaza and previously instructed Israel to refrain from actions under the genocide convention and to prevent genocidal acts against Palestinians, which Israel denies, attributing its actions to targeting Hamas rather than civilians.
It has nothing to do with Russia. It’s a formal process started by South Africa (who have a long-standing interest in Palestinian human rights because of Apartheid). They have so far been formally joined by Nicaragua and now Colombia.
A bunch of other countries have expressed support and may join at a future date, including Ireland and the African Union.

100,000,000 people live in Iran.
Yes. They fund Hamas. They are religiously chosen to lead a new Islamic Caliphate headquartered in Jerusalem, they think.

Agree. That’s why Israelis should cease fire immediately, dismantle the occupation and apartheid, recognize Palestine and pay reparations. So we can focus on what’s actually dangerous to world peace.
Occupation requires an opposing military force.
Apartheid requires minority rule over the majority.
Consider this post the dismantling you’re waiting for.
Occupation is what every country in the world calls the situation.
Apartheid is what apartheid scholars, human rights groups, South Africans who went through apartheid, Israeli peace organizations and Palestinians (you know, the people directly affected) are calling the situation.
Your little attempt at dictionary lawyering is no argument.
I went to school with some of these apartheid scholars and don’t value their opinions.
Wow, for someone who went to school in 1940s Butterworth, South Africa, with Desmond Tutu, you must be extremely tech savvy to be writing on Lemmy. What an awesome old person you must be.

No, we can talk about both and palestine situation is a lot worse.
Rediculous, shallow take.
We don’t set global policy based on how sad the news makes small44.
