Virtual visit of the International Court of Justice (ICJ) – YouTube<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Dozens of South African immigrants to Israel protested against their former country\u2019s government on Friday, standing with their new home against political and legal attacks from South Africa\u2019s ruling ANC party, highlighted by accusing\u00a0Israel of \u201cgenocide,\u201d last Thursday in the International Court\u00a0of\u00a0Justice (ICJ)<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe demonstration is not against South Africa or its people, but against its disgraceful government. I am proud to stand here as an Israeli, but I am ashamed of the government of my homeland, for stooping so low. It is a danger to Judaism,\u201d said David Kaplan, an attendant of the event.<\/span><\/p>\n

Former Knesset member Ruth Wasserman Lande, who was raised in Cape Town, South Africa before moving to Israel for military service, living in Israel since, added \u201cJustice is with us, the ruling party of South Africa has sold its soul to Iran.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The protest in Ra\u2019anana in central Israel comes a few weeks after Israel was forced to stand trial at the International Court of Justice in The Hague against charges of \u201cgenocide\u201d in its current defensive war against Hamas in Gaza. The charges were filed by South Africa\u2019s government, a noted friend of Hamas leadership and outspoken critic of Israel and the Israeli government.<\/span><\/p>\n

In South Africa\u2019s case against Israel, the country alleges that the IDF is acting \u201cgenocidal in character because they are intended to bring about the destruction of a substantial part of the Palestinian national, racial and ethnical group.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The suit came as both countries are signatories to the 1948 Genocide Convention, passed after the Holocaust and with the goal of creating proceedings to ensure no genocide like what happened to the Jews of Europe occurs in the future.<\/span><\/p>\n

Israel said South Africa was acting as \u201cthe legal arm of Hamas,\u201d and called the charges \u201cbaseless,\u201d especially as the country has been noted to take unprecedented steps to protect civilians in the war. Furthermore, the war began after Israel was attacked by Hamas terrorists on October 7, when they invaded southern Israel, murdering more than 1,200 and taking hostage over 240.<\/span><\/p>\n

The ICJ refused to grant South Africa\u2019s wish of calling for an immediate ceasefire, but nevertheless ruled to investigate the genocide charges and called on Israel to \u201ctake all measures within its power to prevent the commission of all acts within the scope of [genocide].\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Even this past week South Africa continued its attacks, calling for the defunding of Israel, with Foreign Minister Naledi Pandor saying \u201cThis necessarily imposes an obligation on all states to cease funding and facilitating Israel\u2019s military actions.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
