Let no one forget.
Extend the indictment to all these hypocrites and sociopaths for active participation in the ongoing genocide.
The 1948 Genocide Convention was immediately abused to perpetrate more genocide. ‘Israel’ was founded the same year. It’s only this year (2024) that Israel is finally being indicted for its crimes. Israel’s crime isn’t really genocide, which they’ve been doing for decades. Their crime is doing it too quickly and too obviously, so much so that the International Court of Justice cannot remain blind.
South Africa has filed an 84-page case against ‘Israel’, which we’ll cover highlights of here. What SA has done is collect the genocidal acts, open incitement, and horrific results that we’ve all seen for the past three months. Israel has destroyed millions of years of human life in that time, razed Gaza just as they said they would, and traumatized an entire population, half of them children. Hell, they’ve traumatized the world, which is why South Africa is making this filing.
I’d say it’s a useful collection of links, but I don’t hold out too much hope for international institutions doing anything. Law without enforcement — like words without deeds — is ultimately moot. South Africa’s filing is good, but the Resistance has to deliver their own summons, with RPGs and an army of orphaned youth.
An Introduction To The Introduction
The 1948 Genocide Convention might as well be ‘Israel’s’ Constitution. They have openly committed every act for decades now. The South African case, emphasizes three points out of five, focusing on the past three months. Those points are “[A] killing Palestinians in Gaza, [B] causing them serious bodily and mental harm, and [C] inflicting on them conditions of life calculated to bring about their physical destruction.” We’ll go through them one by one, but I think it’s worth reproducing part of the South African introduction at length:
Israel has engaged in, is engaging in and risks further engaging in genocidal acts against the Palestinian people in Gaza. Those acts include killing them, causing them serious mental and bodily harm and deliberately inflicting on them conditions of life calculated to bring about their physical destruction as a group.
We’ve all seen this happening and we’ve also seen Israeli officials, leaders, and citizens openly inciting genocide, not to mention American and European leaders and citizens. It’s basically a big colonizer pogrom, live-streamed globally. Incitement is usually the hardest thing to prove in a genocide case, but not this time. As they say in the Big Short, these guys aren’t confessing, they’re bragging. As the case goes on:
Repeated statements by Israeli State representatives, including at the highest levels, by the Israeli President, Prime Minister, and Minister of Defence express genocidal intent. That intent is also properly to be inferred from the nature and conduct of Israel’s military operation in Gaza, having regard inter alia to Israel’s failure to provide or ensure essential food, water, medicine, fuel, shelter and other humanitarian assistance for the besieged and blockaded Palestinian people, which has pushed them to the brink of famine.
Intent aside, there’s also what’s happening. Gaza is destroyed, almost everyone is displaced, and Israel has purposefully targeted hospitals, bakeries, sanitation, and energy to kill as many people as possible. As the case continues:
It is also clear from the nature, scope and extent of Israel’s military attacks on Gaza, which have involved the sustained bombardment over more than 11 weeks of one of the most densely populated places in the world, forcing the evacuation of 1.9 million people or 85% of the population of Gaza from their homes and herding them into ever smaller areas, without adequate shelter, in which they continue to be attacked, killed and harmed. Israel has now killed in excess of 21,110 named Palestinians, including over 7,729 children — with over 7,780 others missing, presumed dead under the rubble — and has injured over 55,243 other Palestinians, causing them severe bodily and mental harm.
Israel has also laid waste to vast areas of Gaza, including entire neighbourhoods, and has damaged or destroyed in excess of 355,000 Palestinian homes, alongside extensive tracts of agricultural land, bakeries, schools, universities, businesses, places of worship, cemeteries, cultural and archaeological sites, municipal and court buildings, and critical infrastructure, including water and sanitation facilities and electricity networks, while pursuing a relentless assault on the Palestinian medical and healthcare system.
Israel has reduced and is continuing to reduce Gaza to rubble, killing, harming and destroying its people, and creating conditions of life calculated to bring about their physical destruction as a group.
This basically covers it. It’s an open-and-shut case if it weren’t still an open wound, and ‘Israel’ hadn’t bombed all the hospitals to keep people bleeding and dying from infections. The deaths from starvation and disease will at least double the current count and Israel is doing this on purpose. They are bombing and starving a population of largely children to death in front of the whole world, traumatizing everyone with eyes and a heart.
We’ll go through the case point by point, but make no mistake. Nobody’s coming to save these people. The brave Axis of Resistance is liberating themselves, while these judges merely deliberate.
A) The Killing
I’m just going to reproduce the Genocide Convention in each section because it’s short.
In the present Convention, genocide means any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such:
For highlights I rely on @hanoooonz, who describes herself as a “Palestinian, lawyer, certified hater (she/her),” which is more qualified than me. I merely add commentary as a rando Sri Lankan, in solidarity.
The first charge is killing, which one can know from the topline number of 30,000 and climbing. I remember saying 10,000 just weeks ago, which shows you how insanely bloodthirsty the Israelis are. As in any war — many more will be killed be deprivation and disease, which Israel is ‘strategically’ doing. This isn’t a normal murder case, it’s a mass murder in progress. As the filing notes:
And as Ms. Hanoooonz, esquire summarizes“Approximately 1 in every 100 people has been killed. 1 Palestinian in Gaza is killed every 4 minutes. Hundreds of multigenerational families have been killed in their entirety, with no remaining survivors.”
I hate the fact that these individual lives lost have to be put in pithy statistics to elicit sympathy. They are people and each death is a universe. As the Holy Quran (ie, Allah) says,
I feel like Israel has killed humanity a thousand times over. The highlighted part about men executed in front of their families is just one example. Israel and America have executed tens of thousands of people in front of the whole world. And they’re still going.
B) The Trauma
In the present Convention, genocide means any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such:
The second part of the Genocide Convention being used by ‘Israel’ as an instruction manual is causing them serious bodily and mental harm. Everyone in Gaza is traumatized, and everyone in the world by watching this happen. Children being amputated without anaesthetics, children are self-harming in constant fear, and adults that have to be there with them, somehow trying to make this all make sense and keep their own sanity. It’s impossible. I talk about the children, but women and men have no less right to bodily and mental integrity. The traumatization is total.
As the case states (via Hanooooz), “Children are telling us that they would rather die than continue living in Gaza right now.” And Israelis are gloating about it. “Images of mutilated and burned corpses are circulated in Israel via a channel called ’72 virgins — uncensored.’” Not to mention the social media of Israeli soldiers and citizens. It’s really ugly.
Proving intention once again, hospitals have been targeted over and over, while Israel mainly runs from open combat. The suffering is the point, and American weapons have been utilized to maximize the atrocities. This is just a textbook genocide, civilians being rounded up, stripped and led into stadiums, tortured and executed or just disappeared. And Israel brags about this. As if these are victories. They are losing the war and winning the genocide. It’s really cowardly.
C) The physical destruction
In the present Convention, genocide means any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such:
Israeli Crime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said, “we will turn Gaza into an island of ruins,” which is precisely what they’ve done. The singular image of the ‘conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction’ has been Israel’s repeated and targeted attacks on hospitals. As the case states:
Israel has bombed doctors in their wards, in their homes, ambulances on the street, sniped patients in the halls. Just absolute lack of humanity, designed and planned (people had meetings about this!) to make Gaza unlivable.
The dead cannot even rest! Israel digs up and defiles the bodies! Israel bombs people with massive American munitions which damage limbs if not life, and then forces those people to undergo amputations without anaesthesia! Pregnant women must undergo c-sections without anaesthesia. And this is all intentional. The horror, the horror. The cruelty and the calculation.
Israel has also targeted and destroyed ‘life-sustaining infrastructure’ in general. Homes, every single university, schools, teachers, professors, mosques, churches, ancient buildings and new. As the case states, “Across Gaza, Israel has targeted the infrastructure and foundations of Palestinian life, deliberately creating conditions of life calculated to bring upon the physical destruction of the Palestinian people.”
What ties this all together is the open and frankly insane incitement. This is just a sample and there’s more being added every day.
They’re not even trying to hide it. This is a genocide in plain sight. Only justice remains blind.
D/E Preventing birth and stealing children
Finally, we’ll briefly discuss the two parts of the Genocide Convention South Africa doesn’t rely on, though these atrocities are also happening. Killing the unborn or being born, and stealing children.
In the present Convention, genocide means any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such:
E) Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group.
As we’ve seen, bombing hospitals and leaving incubators to die and horrifyingly decompose certainly prevents births. As does forcing mothers to undergo c-sections without anaesthesia, and bombing maternity hospitals, and sniping them in the streets, and preventing them from having access to clean water and food.
Israeli soldiers have also kidnapped Palestinian children. The full horror of what they’re doing is yet to be known. But I think we’ve seen enough. The Genocide Convention warrants prosecution for any of these acts. And ‘Israel’ has done them all.
Conclusion: No Conclusion
Read the case yourself, or read through Hanooooz’s highlights. Or just trust the evidence of your eyes, ears, and heart. Blow through the fog of war blown by the colonial media, trying to incite another genocide against ‘merciless Savages’,long after everyone knows better. This is the most well-documented genocide in human history and it’s happening live and 24/7. People are losing their lives every day, in front of us. It’s a global act of terror, brought to you by Israel and America, and they’ve already gotten away with so much. And this case won’t stop it.
At best the International Court of Justice will write an injunction (to further hear the case), which no one will enforce. Because international institutions are a farce, because the ‘rules-based order’ is precisely the violation of international law, and because — as Gramsci put it — the old world is dying and the new world still struggles to be born.
There is no conclusion in this text, only a litany of contusions upon the human soul. There is no resolution from these institutions, that will have to be won by the blood of many more martyrs — some fighters, some fallen — may Allah receive them all. While South Africa has done yeoman work in documenting the reason for resistance, it’s all a (literally) dead letter without works. Without the praxis of resistance. Hence it is not enough to condemn the offenses of Israel while also condemning the brave fighters defending these people.
So let me add some clarity the South Africa filing doesn’t. The filing also (lightly) condemns the Al Aqsa Flood of October 7th, and it shouldn’t. That act of great bravery was Palestinians breaking out of their concentration camp to attack their captors and take hostages to get the release of so many more. The Israeli response was to turn their concentration camp into an extermination camp, in front of the whole world. They were fighting the slow-motion genocide of the Palestinian people over genocide, and Israel accelerated the process in response.
To support Palestinian freedom and condemn their freedom fighters is uselessness and moral cowardice. The Palestinians are a peaceful people who have known nothing but genocidal war since the colonizers dumped their guilt and greed upon them, in 1948. The cunning colonizers violated the Genocide Convention as soon as it was written and they will never listen to reason. They have to be resisted by any means necessary, a lesson the Palestinian people have learned most painfully, written in so much blood and suffering.

A series of violent explosions rocked the military base in the US-occupied Conoco oilfield in north-east Syria on 12 January, following a large rocket attack, Sputnik’s correspondent reported.
According to the correspondent, the attack “destroyed the base and its surroundings. American air defenses tried to confront the missile attack with their ground and air anti-aircraft weapons, to no avail … the American occupation army’s air force and helicopters, in the meantime, began flying over the skies of the towns surrounding its bases” in the oilfields of Conoco and Al-Omar.
The attack comes just days after US forces carried out live drills near the Conoco base, aimed at training for potential attacks on the facility.
The Iraqi resistance has yet to confirm the attack.
On 11 January, the Iraqi resistance announced an attack on the US base of Al-Shaddadi in north-east Syria.
The Islamic Resistance in Iraq, a coalition of Iraqi resistance factions which banded together in October, have been striking US bases with drones and missiles in both Iraq and Syria. The attacks come in solidarity with the resistance in Gaza and in rejection of US support for the Israeli assault on the besieged Gaza Strip.
They also aim to speed up the withdrawal of US forces from Iraq, which the government of Mohammed Shia al-Sudani is trying to facilitate diplomatically.
However, Washington continues to show no intention of withdrawing from Iraq, and has responded to the attacks on its occupation bases with violent airstrikes on Iraq and its capital. Several have been killed in the US strikes.
130 attacks have targeted its bases in Iraq and Syria since October.
The Iraqi resistance has also carried out strikes on Israeli territory, including the occupied Golan Heights. The latest Iraqi attack on Israel was announced on 12 January, just shortly after the rocket attack on the Conoco base in Syria.
“The Mujahideen of the Islamic Resistance in Iraq, using appropriate weapons, attacked at dawn today, Friday, a Zionist military target in the occupied territories, near the Jordan River Park (north of the Sea of Galilee),” the Islamic Resistance in Iraq coalition said on Friday afternoon via its media channel.
“The Islamic Resistance confirms that it will continue to destroy enemy strongholds, and we promise you more,” the resistance coalition added.

Confronting Israeli tank, practically with bare hands. Who's the David today? (TGP screenshot)
In Conrad’s masterful novella, Kurtz, the central figure, becomes a monster. He is driven to madness by the futile effort to inflict his arrogant Western dominance on the uncontrollable mystery of primordial Africa and, in the end, he abandons his own morality and descends into cruelty and murder. The point, for Conrad, was that the inflexible arrogance of Western racist prejudice, immersed in alien, indigenous reality, had to produce disaster.
The creation and evolution of Zionist Israel has, similarly, driven that evil, illegitimate, apartheid state to madness in its genocidal assault on the Palestinian people of Gaza. The Zionist program, facilitated by cowardly, amoral England was, from its inception, to violently dispossess and eradicate the Semitic people whose ancestors had lived in Palestine for hundreds of years.
Psychology has long known that when a subject is intentionally injured, the abuser will try to justify its evil by blaming the victim. So it has been with Zionist Israel from its beginning with the Nakba in 1947-8. As with South Africa, Israel’s vicious cruelty has become undeniable and unconcealable to the world. Their shameless bleating of anti-Semitism in defense of murderous infamy has failed, since what they are and what they do, is obvious, and profoundly offensive to all religious and ethical Jews. Judaism is a religion; Zionism is a Nazi political scheme.
Nations watch passively as Palestinian innocents are butchered, terrified into complacency by the threat of massive regional and perhaps even world war should they militarily intervene. Whether this stasis can hold is doubtful as the strain of inaction in the face of racial murder increases. The United States’ posture as chief backer of Israel’s evil, makes it the determining factor in enabling Palestinian genocide. This will have consequences at home.
As America has degenerated morally, and decomposed for the profit of bloody Capitalism, our government, such as it is, has followed the fixed trajectory of empires. It is now as totally indifferent to the welfare of its people as Rome was, or Stalin’s USSR. Like all empires, its vast powers exploit its subjects and their resources for the obscene enrichment of its ruling Money Oligarchy. The aspirations and the needs of its disempowered citizenry are routinely, contemptuously spurned, and because The Empire knows how deeply it has indoctrinated them, it has lost all fear of its torpid people. If its full bore backing of Zionist genocide continues, it will be forced to re-assess this position.
For generations, but increasingly since WWII, America was able, through financial and military dominance, and with its cultural eminence based on victory over the Axis powers and enormous commercial output, to urge, bully, and coerce the world to bow to its might and obey. Its status as sole dominator and absolute hegemon in world affairs has eroded and been dismantled over the last twenty years by a long series of astonishingly inept and spectacular failures of force and will which have cumulatively reduced its status in the world and bared the unchallengeable reality that The American Empire is not only in decline, but is already an egregious, obvious disaster desperate to retain a semblance of what it is not, and can no longer ever be.
Along with its monumental pratfalls in Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, and Syria, and its proxy war in Nazi Ukraine that has resulted in the bloody obliteration of that sink of corruption, the floundering, feckless Imperial elite has elevated a series of grotesque, lackey incompetents. In the next Presidential election, Americans are given the choice between a vulgar, bellowing, criminal Mussolini, and a sleazy, fatuous, criminal simpleton, long gone in senility. One of these specimens will be the face of The Empire and its exalted “leader”, and quite possibly the last one. The nation is so blind, cruel, conflicted, and bankrupt morally and financially that cataclysmic meltdown is likely and even probable.
Two dangerous, ultimately ruinous lines of policy are certain to be implemented regardless of which of the subhuman monstrosities is placed as hood ornament on the Imperial Clown Car.
In the international sphere The Empire will embark on ever more perilous lunatic adventures, based entirely on inflamed ego and total incomprehension of strategic realities, that will dramatically increase the chances of triggering a world war from which only its catastrophic, crushing destruction can result.
In the national context, inevitable resistance to tyrannical political control will augment and enforce a punishing, pervasive and savage repression and domination of the people, and the brutal stifling and cancellation of Constitutional rights that have already been viciously curtailed, to be justified by our ruling criminals as higher patriotism to preserve their unravelling, moribund system.
These psychotic Hail Marys will bring nothing to The Empire but prompt and immanent disaster, and yet their implementation is now certain and unavoidable. The Empire will have its way.
Zionist Israel, an illegal, rogue state from its beginning, founded on the bodies, blood, and lands of its invaded victims, is living out the role of conquering abuser, as Kurtz did in Conrad’s novel, following the same ineluctable vector into madness.
The United States, though even more vicious and imperial in its origin and growth, had no inevitable role in the horror in Palestine but chose to play it. By nurturing, supporting and sustaining Nazi Israel, it is partaking electively, as it is in Ukraine, of madness by proxy. To any mind alive in the last century, this is no surprise.
America pioneered the Heart of Darkness.

The above clip was captured from an ABC World News report,(Dec 1, 2023).
The barbaric Israeli bombardment of Palestinian civilians in Gaza, with US and EU backing, has finally proved too much for hundreds of millions of people across the world, including people in the benighted West, who are seeing, for the first time, what is usually hidden or distorted about the true workings of the US empire and its complicit client states, such as Israel.
This clip by a US TV network (ABC News), normally a stalwart propaganda asset for the status quo, like the rest of its ilk, shows a civilian population under attack by the cowardly Israeli Air Force, with the consequent indiscriminate death and suffering of untold victims—women, children, animals, and the horrid chaos that such attacks always create. This clip (similar reporting is appearing on other mainstream media) is by no means unbiased, nor is it even good (it still fails to provide the vital historical context), but it is a damn sight better than what these entities have been serving the Western public literally for generations, making the current tragedy inevitable. Maybe the Palestinian genocide, paid with the blood of countless innocents, has finally punctured the West's disinformation bubble. If so, it may have opened the road to real liberation for this extremely heroic people, and much of the rest of humanity.
What prompted this departure from the cynical censorship approach we still see applied to Ukraine?
Probably a combination of things, powerful enough to even break ranks—to some extent— with Israel's elaborate and ubiquitous lying machine. Basically, the crimes are so huge and depraved that the Western media could not simply ignore them or put them through the usual disinformation massage. They would have lost the last shred of credibility they retain after practically a century of "reporting" on the world through the lens of the oligarchs. Furthermore, the internet (which could not be shut down entirely at this point) and other social media technologies, including the ubiquitous smart phones, were supplying rivers of images and text to platforms outside the US/EU/NATO's power to suppress. For another, the Arab/Islamic world itself now has its own information platforms (Qatar's Al-Jazeera, Iran's PressTV, Hezbollah's Al-Manar, etc.) all of which are beginning to reach significant audiences, while often collaborating with growing media in Russia, China, Venezuela, Cuba and other sovereign nations, in addition to seeing their materials reproduced in thousands of non-commercial anti-imperialist websites around the world.
The preceding to simply remind our audience that humanity is engaged in an epochal battle of communications that the rising multipolar, sovereigntist anti-imperialist side cannot afford to lose. Let humanity NEVER forget that it was the corporate media, the corrupt mass communications system owned by criminals, billionaires and oligarchs (I'm repeating myself!), that helped lay the groundwork for Israel’s Genocide in Gaza, as well as the massive human tragedy we witness in Ukraine.
The "Western press"—primarily US media—is so appallingly bad that even journalistic teams inside Israel itself, a half-demented, corrupt state, are able to come up with better examples of vital information, even in the midst of a fascist fanatical war, than the bought mediocrities "bringing the news" to American homes every day. Do you doubt it? Just think of this. In this very segment, clipped by TGP from a longer (but still pitifully inadequate) segment on the Israel aggression on Gaza, there is passing mention of the immensely important fact that Israel's leaders were informed way in advance that Hamas was indeed planning an assault in the near future. I'm almost certain this datum flew over the heads of about 99% of the US public. Nor was there much interest at ABC in the fact that the Israeli leadership had planned an air campaign on Gaza with all the deliberate precision of a certifiable psychopath on an exterminating mission. Read it all here, with stunning images, thanks to the folks at +972 Magazine, journalists who define themselves as fighting apartheid :
Permissive airstrikes on non-military targets and the use of an artificial intelligence system have enabled the Israeli army to carry out its deadliest war on Gaza, a +972 and Local Call investigation reveals.
So yea, the pathetic Western TV networks and other legacy media, social media, etc, have a long way to go to qualify as moderately useful, let alone honorable. Their complete control by plutocratic cliques and intel assets beholden to the capitalist/imperialist system makes their conversion to supporting genuine democracy and service to the people a virtual chimera. This means that the US population—along with other publics throughout the West—will have to regain and defend their information space, their mental sovereignty, from those who deviously captured it: the international 0.01% and their flunkies in all spheres of pseudo-democratic power.

Alastair Crooke: Israel’s Uncertain Future
Please make sure these dispatches reach as many readers as possible. Share with kin, friends and workmates and ask them to do likewise.
Danny Haiphong • Alastair Crooke
PLEASE ALLOW A BIT OF TIME FOR THE TWEETS & VIDEOS TO LOAD
IS ISRAEL LOSING? THE TRUTH ABOUT GAZA'S TRUCE W/ ALASTAIR CROOKE!
Danny Haiphong Danny chats with former British diplomat Alastair Crooke, an expert in Mideast affairs, and geopolitical blogger, on the prospects for peace and justice for the long tormented Palestinians. His conclusion is that Israelis and Palestinians are both locked in a long-term revolutionary struggle with mutually exclusive goals, the Israelis committed to build a biblical "Greater Israel" at the expense of all Arabs, and the Palestinians sworn to create an independent state in the old lands of Palestine, currently occupied by transplanted settler colonialist Jews. Crooke sees no short-term resolution to this conflict, unless the greater powers intervene, which could precipitate WW3. As things stand, the US is the only major power capable of pushing the extremist Zionists in power toward some compromise with the Palestinian resistance without detonating Armageddon. Either way, Crooke believes Israel's very existence is now being decided.
APPENDIX: The release of many Israeli hostages has been a p.r. disaster for Netanyahu's regime.Not to mention the wholesale slaughter of children.
The "human animals" show way more decency than the "civilised Israelis". The images don't lie.
Compare this release of Israeli hostages held by Resistance for 6 weeks and the release of Palestinian prisoners, most unjustly jailed for years and tortured incessantly before being set free.@Israel "only democracy" my *ss. Bunch of genocidal, racist maniacs. #GazaGenocidepic.twitter.com/QPPFliBo7I
