International Court of Justice hearing arguments over Israel's war conduct in Gaza
The United Nations top court is opening two days of hearings Thursday morning into Israel's military operations in Gaza. The International Court of Justice will consider a request by South Africa for the court to order Israel to withdraw from the southern Gaza city of Rafah to protect civilians there. This is the fourth time that South Africa has asked the court to take emergency measures regarding Gaza.

No member of hummus is currently charged with crimes.

That's because we expect that kind of behavior from sand people (no I don't mean from Star Wars). First world nations are supposed to be better, not stoop to their level. Keep in mind Jesus would have you roll over and take it because if you die a just death you go to heaven, which is far more important than this temporary place of residence we all inhabit. I'm just saying we adopt a code of military conduct and stick with it, not dismiss it every time you get upset enough to want to not care.

You can't be serious. The ICJ has no jurisdiction to bring a case against Hamas or Palestine bc THEY ARENT UN MEMBERS!!! SMH Israel is a member, so any member state of the UN can sanction another member for failing to abide by UN international law they agreed to upon JOINING!!! Come on this isn't funny you not knowing this or anyone not knowing this. It's your world!!! YOU SHOULD FULLY UNDERSTAND HOW IT FUNCTIONS.

Wrong. This particular arm of this war was started at the end of the 1940s by Israel. The entire war was started by the jews the day they wrote themselves into the bibble as "the chosen ones". This is just a continuation of their holy war/crusade.

I'm sure Jesus would love your spite.
South Africa will most likely fail because of the US federal government's vocal support for and financial support of Israel. Keep in mind that the US federal government contributes approximately 22% of the ICJ's budget, making it the largest contributor. Other countries, like China, contribute around 15.25%. When money talks, there is no justice. Nonetheless, kudos to South Africa for trying to prevent genocide.
It’s time for nations to start quitting the un because it’s flawed. It’s time for reporters to quit going to press briefings in which they are lied to constantly.it’s time for the world to come to an end not literally but boycott every product every service every event so we can have a restart like they did with the Boston tea party
Why you get the bad guys as soon as possible. Blame almost always lands on the good guys in the end.

A massacre is the 34,000 dead who the vast number of are so beyond identification that they can't be sorted into a proper group. You're basing your opinion on a reaction by an oppressed people rather than the occupation and the government that funded the very organization that is now labeled a terrorist group. Context matters!

@@Caballeroshot Welcome to Middle Eastern warfare. Your shocked and appalled reaction is exactly what the Palestinians just like other Muslim based nations have in the past expected and wanted. They know that such images run counter to your western morals and in your thin skinned and narrow view of the world you will demand that such acts not take place no matter how much it harms your own cause or costs in your own people's lives or those of our allies. They do this because they know that you assume they share the same morals and definitions on things as you do. But we have decades of proof that they don't share our morals or definitions. Where we see civilians they see human shields, logistics forces, intelligence gatherers, messengers, and most importantly propaganda material. Because instead of fighting a hundred tanks all they need is a reporter, bombed out building, and a crying or wounded child to stop those tanks. Considering that Israel has to their great disadvantage allowed the existence of refugee camps that only serve to pump out propaganda to aid the Palestinian war machine but also publicly announcing their attacks again to their disadvantage. So how about you grow up and stop crying over the bodies of your enemies and stop allowing yourself to be taken advantage of?

Thank you for sharing this amazing and very informative video on South Africa's request for emergency measures following the Israeli war in Gaza. I kindly and politely inform everyone that Jesus' judgment on the nations mentioned in Matthew 25:31-46 and Joel 3:1-16 is the answer to all world crises. It is also important for all of us to note and understand that the Kingdom of the Holy Trinity and the Day of Judgment are between us and among us. PEACE. --- Merci d'avoir partagé cette vidéo étonnante et très informative sur la demande de mesures d'urgence de l'Afrique du Sud suite à la guerre israélienne à Gaza. J'informe gentiment et poliment tout le monde que le jugement de Jésus sur les nations mentionné dans Matthieu 25: 31-46 et Joël 3: 1-16 est la réponse à toutes les crises mondiales. Il est également important pour nous tous de noter et de comprendre que le Royaume de la Sainte Trinité et le Jour du Jugement sont entre nous et parmi nous. PAIX.

Two wrongs don't make a right and there is a difference between a terrorist cell that doesn't follow international law anyway and a government that chooses not to minimize civilian casualties. Most of the people being killed are not terrorists and not part of Hamas. How would you feel if your neighbor five blocks away was a terrorist that you had no prior knowledge of and your house was leveled with your family inside while you were out trying to find food for them? Killing is bad, and killing civilians is the worst. Gaza is a 25 square mile area. How hard would it be for the Israeli military to go door to door and eliminate the threat using squadrons of riflemen? They have the aid of the entire world at their disposal. Do you not see anything wrong with this picture? Lol.

Why this double standard when it comes to Israel? As if over 70 years of illegal occupation and settlements by Israel isn't responsible for creating this mess. There's plenty of red paint throughout this conflict. However, the fact remains that the pre-eminent obstacle to peace is Israel's colonisation of Palestine.

The Jewish people were there, forced out in 79AD at which time the so-called palestinians moved in, being nothing more than squatters. Israel was recreated following the end of WW2, at which time the so-called palestinians WERE GIVEN LAND OUTSIDE OF ISRAEL for their own country. Instead of doin the right thing, they have chosen to be a problem for seventy years. But I get it, you’re an antisemite.
