South Africa's genocide case against Israel sets up a high-stakes legal battle at the UN's top court
South Africa has launched a case at the United Nations’ top court alleging that Israel’s military campaign in Gaza amounts to genocide.

South Africa’s 84-page filing says Israel’s actions “are genocidal in character because they are intended to bring about the destruction of a substantial part” of the Palestinians in Gaza.
It asks the ICJ, also known as the world court, for a series of legally binding rulings. It wants the court to declare that Israel “has breached and continues to breach its obligations under the Genocide Convention,” and to order Israel to cease hostilities in Gaza that could amount to breaches of the convention, to offer reparations, and to provide for reconstruction of what it’s destroyed in Gaza.

Biden for prison 2024. Then the Democrats can finally run a decent candidate
The democrats will just pick another stinker. How do you think we got Biden in the first place?
The two party system needs to be fixed before we will see any actually good candidates.
What other stinkers do they have to continue the Clinton lineage?
Pete Buttegieg. Metaphorically. He may not literally be part of that heritage, but he's 100% part of their Blue Dog Democrat way of thinking.
