This article is completely false. South Africa delivered its evidence for the case on May 16, 2024. The ICJ cannot make public announcements if no evidence is presented. Announcements are on the website of the International Court of Justice, which also includes 13 countries that have joined South Africa's case against the Israelis. The Israelis don't allow any investigation in Gaza. That is why they stopped automatic visa applications for all UN officials. They even banned foreign journalists in Gaza despite a request by the CJP and 60 news organizations. The Israelis want full control over information. The source adds only "(comma) wants delay" in its headline, prompting the suggestion that South Africa wants a delay while writing in the atricle "the accused state that wants a delay." The Israelis have not filed a request for a delay. The source writes: "The number of civilian casualties among the Palestinians is exceptionally low, compared to other conflicts." When it comes to all Gaza Wars, it is the opposite. None of the previous Gaza Wars have reached such a staggering high number of more than 41,000 deaths and more than 94.000 wounded. It claims "...with an enemy that hides among civilians, and does not wear a uniform" Combat videos posted by the military wings of Hamas and collected by us constantly show deserted and destroyed urban areas. Then, a recognized regular army is obliged to wear uniforms to distinguish themselves from civilians. Hamas, however, can operate in accordance to articles 43 & 44 of the Additional Protocol I of the Geneva Conventions, that its members carry their weapons openly during attacks and deployments. It is not recognized as a regular army but as resistance. The rest of the article is also misinformation. Now, who is the author? The Dutch name of the source is in English "New Israelite Week Magazine". It claims to be an opinion and cultural magazine. They appear not to know that even opinions must be verifiable, correct in wording, and accurate. It starts with the name it is carrying. "Israelite" refers to a tribe with that name. The name is also misused by Netanyahu when he says, "Remember what the Amaleks did to us." He actually claimed that Israelis are Israelites attacked and murdered by Amalekites, a tribe that lived in the Negev Desert. That's how the Palestinians became painted as Amaleks (= Amalekites) who attacked Netanyahu's "Israelites." The ancient story tells the other way around: Israelites came from the south (Sinai). They attacked the Amalekites and murdered women, children, and the tribe's livestock. The Israelites were driven into the Kingdom of David, who in return drove the tribe into the direction of the hills where the Jesubites lived. It is now Jerusalem. |
