Tourgeman argues that Israel has the right to defend itself
Tourgeman, continuing her presentation, says many of South Africa’s claims of Israeli military misconduct are “simply false”.
This includes South Africa’s claims that Israel’s military has set out “extermination zones” where people in Gaza can be targeted on the basis of their location, Tourgeman says.
It also includes accusations that Israel is utilising artificial intelligence software to decide on military targets, which Tourgeman dismisses as being based on an unreliable media report. UN chief Antonio Guterres last month said he was “deeply troubled” by reports that the Israeli military has been using artificial intelligence to help identify bombing targets in Gaza.
Tourgeman again slams South Africa’s request that the court order Israel to cease military operations in Gaza.
This would set a dangerous precedent, she says, that “sovereign states under persistent attack, whose citizens are held hostage, cannot defend itself or its citizens”.
“There is no international law to this effect,” she adds. “It is inconceivable that there would be.”

Little girl Hind was murdered and they investigate themselves. 6 years old trapped and then slaughtered. Defend that if you can. WCK workers slaughtered ... How did that happen ?

International conventions are clear, if you are placed under forceful military occupation, your right to resist including with the use of force is accepted. You would too if you were them.

they can lie all they want the world has seen the videos with thier own eyes,
You are still talking about negative 7th October and same things over over again.
This lady is absolutely right
What about horrific conditions you have suppressed Palestinian for 75 years brutal siege for decades .what about innocent children your kidnap and hold them without any legal trial . Many thousands defacing in dungeons . Don't twist your land grab occupation into victimhood. War is because you have usurped rights of millions of people under your brutal force & now that you have been challenged, you're rattled
Self-defense is not anyone's private property and it is not the sole right of Israel only. Palestinians are oppressed by Israel for eras / decades. They also have such right. To eliminate the possibility of another 7th October world must pay attention to the rights of Palestinians and should not maintain a double standard.
Israel is no longer in a war against Hamas, they're in a war against humanity.
