You know you fucked up when South Africa accuses you of genocide.
They are still butthurt that Israel voted for them to get sanctioned for the crime of Apartheid
I'm pretty sure the current government, who fought against apartheid, is not "butthurt" about the previous government being sanctioned for apartheid.
What, with an ANC-dominated government, are you delirious.
If you want to be jaded about things then chalk it up to the ANC trying to capitalise on anti-apartheid sentiment to distract from the utter state of disgrace their corruption has caused.
Eh, SA has been a shithole for a while. The ANC has become stupid corrupt and is doing a speed run to ruining the country.
They are just trying to pretend they are better.
I think we (the U.S.) should also be named in that charge.
I think it's best to limit the case to Palestine
South Africa is a country that has made apartheid illegal and is still fighting the hangers on. Apartheid did not work and only served to cause wholesale suffering for the overwhelming majority who were effectively imprisoned or enslaved in their own country. Shamefully, it seems that some commentors here support apartheid.
Zionism has the same dream of an ethno-state that Nazists had. They're one and the same.
Can the ICJ do anything to Israel? As far as I'm aware, neither Israel nor Palestine have pledge do to submit themselves to the ICJ.
Palestine is not recognized by the UN as a country so am guessing they cant even if they wanted.
i mean palestine not being recognised as an independent nation wouldnt mean that the actual place, or leople there are not recognised as existing or being part of a country
but also
if im understanding this correctly, the UN recognises palestine as an independent state to the extent that it actually can but ultimately has no control over whether individual member states actually recognise it as an independent state
but does that qualify it to sign international treaties? that's the question? Also who govern the Palastinian state? Fath or Hamas?
South Africa is quite close with Iran, so this shouldn't be too surprising.
Not throwing "anti-semite" around? I guess that's a progress.
