• 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.

      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.

          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.
