Edit| According to the snow under the jade pass
On December 29, 2023, a lawsuit filed by South Africa with the United Nations International Court of Justice caused a heated international discussion: accusing the Israeli government of committing genocide in the Gaza Strip!
You know, "genocide" is arguably the most serious accusation in the world today, not to mention that the target of the accusation is Israel, which has been claiming to be a so-called "victim" for decades.
After the news spread, global public opinion could basically be said to be overwhelmingly in favor of South Africa. Only one country is more anxious than being accused of genocide. That is the United States, which is everywhere accusing other countries of "genocide". When asked what he thought of the matter, a State Department spokesman said, "How come I didn't see the Israeli genocide?"
Article 2 of the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide, adopted by the United Nations in 1948, defines "genocide" as follows:
"Intentionally destroying, in whole or in part, a national, ethnic, racial or religious group, committing one of the following acts:
1. Killing members of the group.
2. Causing serious physical or mental harm to a member of the group.
3. Deliberately subjecting the group to a certain living condition in order to destroy all or part of its life.
4. Enforcement measures intended to prevent members of the group from having children.
5. Forcibly transfer children from the group to another group. ”
Let us take a look at what Israel has done in the Gaza Strip since the outbreak of the new round of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict.
After the outbreak of the new round of conflict, Israel bombed and completely blockaded the Gaza Strip, and notified the United Nations on the 12th local time, requiring "about 1.1 million civilians in the northern Gaza Strip to evacuate south within 24 hours." ”
When the Israeli army entered Gaza, for those Palestinians who were unwilling to relocate, they forced them to relocate with guns to their heads, and some people wanted to keep a key as a memory, but Israel directly blew up the house, leaving only a door for others, and later took a video to mock: "Why don't they open the door?"
Why bomb houses, and how can the Israelites build beautiful new houses in this "God-given land" without blowing them up?
Moreover, even the relocation to the south of the Gaza Strip at Israel's request was not safe, and the refugee camps, the United Nations, and third parties such as Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) were bombed by Israel.
In the past three months, the news coming back from Gaza has been so sensational. Pregnant women who had caesarean sections without anesthesia, patients waiting to die in hospital intensive care units where power was cut off, doctors who had to give up their babies in incubators to retreat, "Daddy is in another world, we are in another world, is it our fault for feeling the cold? We just want to get a warm night's sleep...... I hope Dad can take us with us" Gaza girl......
The biggest blow to people was a quote from the Palestinian Ministry of Health: "In Gaza, a child dies every 10 minutes." ”
Of course, none of this matters to Israel, because in their eyes these children are also "Hamas".
What is even more excessive is that Israel has never made a secret of its genocidal intentions. "The weak collapsed, slaughtered and erased from history, while the strong, for better or worse, survived," Netanyahu said. ”
"I have ordered a total blockade of Gaza, no electricity, no food, no fuel, no water, a blockade of everything, we are fighting humanoids, we act accordingly," said Israeli Defense Minister Yoaf Galant. ”
Eliahu, a former IDF official, said: "There are no innocent civilians in Gaza, 2.5 million people are all terrorists. There are no innocent people in Gaza, so the strike does not need warning. ”
This is a truly organized, systematic genocide.
As Palestinian Representative to the United Nations Mansour said: "Life is at stake, every life is sacred, please save lives! Save lives!"
However, all the drafts calling for an immediate ceasefire between Palestine and Israel were rejected by the Americans. Because of the presence of the United States, the authority of the United Nations has been called into question as never before.
No, the United Nations has done its best within its mandate, and even the General Assembly has spoken out on many occasions. A number of United Nations staff have already died in Gaza, and the Secretary-General of the United Nations has even risked being bombed by Israel by personally running to the Rafah crossing to deliver life-saving supplies to the people of Gaza.
However, the Security Council, which was able to make effective resolutions to cease fire between the two sides, has not been able to do so because of the presence of the United States.
Even if Israel is genocidal, the United States does not care, after all, the United States directly exchanged the scalps of the Indians for money, and Israel is still a small amount compared to it.
Israel's crimes can be said to have caused the wrath of the people. In December last year, Yugoslavia filed a lawsuit with the United Nations International Court of Justice alleging the Israeli genocide.
The International Court of Justice in The Hague accepted the accusation and decided to hold a public hearing on 11 and 12 January this year.
The Israelis were furious at this, and they saw themselves as the victims: we never wanted to move the Gazans to the sea, but only to move them to the great desert of Egypt, how can it be called genocide?
And the United States, which has always protected Israel, is not surprisingly on Israel's side this time.
According to a report by the Russian Sputnik news agency on January 3, when asked by US State Department spokesman Matthew Miller "how do you think South Africa filed an Israeli genocide with the United Nations International Court of Justice in The Hague", he said:
"Genocide is undoubtedly a heinous crime, one of the most horrific crimes a person can commit, and it is prudent to make accusations. As for the position of the United States, we have found no actions that characterize genocide. ”
Later, he hypocritically stated: "Washington will continue to analyze war crimes and crimes against humanity and considers humanitarian assistance to Gazans to be a priority." ”
Rats have skin, but people have no etiquette! People have no etiquette, what is the point of not dying?
Rats have teeth, but people have no end! People have no end, why don't they die?
A rat has a body, but a man is rude! A man is rude, and he is not dead?
