The opening session at the International Court of Justice with excellent
initial presentations from the South African Delegation of expert Judges
(of various backgrounds):
Video (4 hours) https://webtv.un.org/en/asset/k11/k11gf661b3
Case before the ICJ (84 pages) https://www.icj-cij.org/index.php/node/203394

BRIEF ANALYSIS:  The brilliant presentation by the South African Team  is a
very, very strong case in my opinion and the opinion of non-engaged global
legal experts (and anyone who have seen the genocide unfold live). The body
of evidence to be presented is overwhelming and it connects so many
statements of intent to genocide from all high level officials of
theIsraeli govcernment with action son the ground. For example "Defense
minister" saying we will starve them and demnyy water and medicine for 2.3
million with actual execution. Video of Netanyahu addressing soldiers and
invoking Amalek (biblical enemy that Israelites were told by God to kill
all their women and Children) is paired with videos of soldiers bragging
about killing women and children and also invoking "Amalek". Eight South
African judges are great minds and the evidence is overwhelming.

I do not underestimate Zionist legal team led by Justice Barak and
including dozens of lawyers to find some loopholes & exaggerate them. They
cannot say this but I can: the lead of the Israeli team himself (Aharon
Barak) was head of the Israeli High Court that ruled against international
law and even refused to force implementation of its own rulings (e.g. that
called on Israeli army to allow the return of the villagers of Icrit in the
Galillee). He also holds racist views and expressed them (but again this
does not need to be brought up), the case has overwhelming merit. But more
importantly the ICJ was pressured politically before and there is now I am
sure a frenzy of pressure on each of the governments of the judges and the
judges themselves especially by the US which shielded Israel for decades
from International law and should be on trial with Israel). That is why
other countries, the Islamic resistance forces, Fatah/the Palestinian
Authority (whose foreign ministry was not doing enough and should have done
much more and restructure and remove all corrupt ambassadors and promote
ambassadors like Husam Zomlot), media sites, and ALL people of conscience
should do more physical support, cosponsor, collate documents, videos, and
material to support bringing to justice the criminal regime members not
just at ICJ but globally.  That is why we need to write to governments to
pressure them not to succumb to Zionist lobbies and to use this opportunity
to save Israel from itself. If they love Israel, they should allow case to
be judged neutrally based on the overwhelming body of evidence and not flex
muscles which if they (God Forbid) succeed would mean the end of
International law and the "might-makes-right" becomes the rule for
everyone. Racism/Zionism will lose either way but the military might will
be much worse (no winners in wars). Lastly I think those who supprted teh
genocide should be troied. Incidentally even without genocide charge
sticking (thhis may take months), Biden and Blinken and other US officials
CAN AND SHOULD BE TRIED for violating US law: The Leahy Law, the Foreign
assaistance act; the Arms Export Control Act, the Conventional Arms
Transfer Policy (NSM-18 of Feb. 2023), The US War Crimes Act of 1996;  and
international treaties and conventions which were adopted by the US and
thus become national law (e.g. Geneva Convention, Convention against Racial
Discrimination and Apartheid). Need lawyers to pursue. Please help.

I know this is already long, but three relevant PROPHETIC quotes:

"If the state of Israel aspires to perceive itself as a democracy, it
should abandon once and for all, any legal and ideological foundation of
religious, ethnic, and demographic discrimination.  The state of Israel
should strive to become the state of all its citizens. We call for the
annulment of all laws that make Israel an apartheid state, including the
Jewish law of return in its present form" (Israeli artists' Declaration,
2002).

"We came and turned the native Arabs into tragic refugees. And still we
have to slander and malign them, to besmirch their name. Instead of being
deeply ashamed of what we did and trying to undo some of the evil we
committed...we justify our terrible acts and even attempt to glorify them"
Nathan Chofshi, Jewish Newsletter, New York, 9 February 1959, cited in
Erskine Childers, 'The Other Exodus' in Spectator, London, 12 May 1961

"I should much rather see reasonable agreement with the Arabs on the basis
of living together in peace than the creation of a Jewish state. Apart from
practical consideration, my awareness of the essential nature of Judaism
resists the idea of a Jewish state with borders, an army, and a measure of
temporal power no matter how modest. I am afraid of the inner damage
Judaism will sustain, especially from the development of a narrow
nationalism within our own ranks, against which we have already had to
fight strongly, even without a Jewish state."Albert Einstein, on April 17,
1938, in a speech at the Commodore Hotel in New York City.
