Law and Humanity Buried in Gaza Rubble 19/02/2024

Adila Hassim, advocate of South Africa’s high court, presented the case for why Israel’s actions can be clearly construed as genocidal.  https://thewire.in/world/israel-south-africa-genocidal-acts-icj

Genocidal acts

Israel continues to exercise control over the airspace, territorial waters, land crossings, water, electricity, electromagnetic sphere and civilian infrastructure in Gaza, as well as over key governmental functions. As the honourable minister has said, entry and exit by air and sea to Gaza is prohibited with Israel operating the only two crossing points.

Gaza, which is one of the most densely populated places in the world is home to approximately 2.3 million Palestinians, almost half of them children.

For the past 96 days, Israel has subjected Gaza to what has been described as one of the heaviest conventional bombing campaigns in the history of modern warfare. Palestinians in Gaza are being killed by Israeli weaponry and bombs from air, land and sea.
