BREAKING: GERMANY TO INTERVENE IN THE ICJ ISREAL BEING TRIED FOR GENOCIDE CASE
German government has announced its intention to intervene in the genocide case South Africa brought against Israel at the International Court of Justice.
“On the 7th of October 2023, there was a great deal of terror in people's lives in Israel. The brutal brutality of Israel fell, it became difficult and lasting. This is the name of Hamas in Israel. Israel will be able to help you with the information you need.
In view of Germany's history and the crime against humanity of the Shoah, the Federal Government sees itself as particularly committed to the Convention against Genocide. This Convention is on other devices, which "don't need" them. We firmly oppose political instrumentalization.
We know that different countries view the Israeli operation in the gas strip differently. This is where the international community is located in Israel and the federal government firmly and expressly rejects the genocide. This accusation has no basis.
The Federal Government supports the International Court of Justice in its work, as it has done for many decades. The Federal Government intends to intervene in the main hearing as a third party.”
Here's a local Jewish media outlet reporting on what took place, complete with extensive photo and video evidence. I highly doubt they'd be so open about it if they knew 'child rape and child sacrifice rituals' were taking place there.
Again, like the 'aliens invade Miami' story, I suspect that this 'extreme wild guess' tells us more about the state of mind of the accusers than the accused.
Guillermo Moreno appeared on C5N and paralyzed the panel when he assured links between businessman Eduardo Elsztain and Rosario's "dirty money".
As it could not be otherwise, Guillermo Moreno left explosive statements after his participation in the cycle Duro de domar of C5N. The former Secretary of Commerce did not hesitate to link businessman Eduardo Elsztain with the "dirty money" of the city of Rosario.
Specifically, Moreno gave the version that the luxurious towers located parallel to the Paraná River were built by Elsztain and that they "are unoccupied".
The recent statements made by Foreign Minister Diana Mondino plunged Argentina into another dispute with its main trading partner, China. It so happens that the official touched on a very sensitive issue for the Asian nation: its dispute with Taiwan and the principle of a single nation-state in which all are part of that single national entity.
In short, Mondino's reception to Taiwanese diplomacy is to recognize the sovereignty of the island over the dispute with China, something that would not have gone down very well in Beijing and that will surely bring negative consequences for bilateral and commercial relations, but a more urgent point is the swap that the country maintains with China, vital for the reserves and the national debt.
Nice nod to the propaganda, though Nazi Germans didn't use gas chambers.
I think it's important to situate the Genocide Convention and South Africa's case within socio-legal context in which they operate. I think it will help explain the dissonance between people's excitement at South Africa's arguments and my more cautious view
For starters, we talk about how difficult it is to prove "intent". This is not "natural". It is the result of political processes that made genocide difficult to prove. I've said before: genocide is common; findings of genocide are not. That's not "good" x.com/Alonso_GD/stat…
Genocide is how the world order was (is) created. Most national foundational myths involve genocide. US's "Wild West", Argentina's "Conquest of the Dessert", European "mission civilisatrice" - all genocide. (And all would be hard to prove under the Genocide Convention)
This is bc when the term "genocide" was created states were careful to make sure it would cover the Holocaust (and now Rwanda), but not Jim Crow, and not colonialism in Africa, etc. Only the most obvious genocides could be genocide, not my national mythos!

So this brings us to South Africa's case. It needs to prove that genocide is the "only reasonable inference" from Israel's actions. This is difficult no matter what, because, like South Africa said in its presentation, most genocides are not pre-announced and advertised
This is why Israel made sure today to argue that 1) its genocidal statements were misconstrued and 2) it is taking measures to safeguard civilian wellbeing. It specifically asked "would a genocidal state would go to these lenghts if what it wanted was to destroy the group?"
So, South Africa's job is more difficult than just saying "look, just *look* at what's happening". It needs to convince the Court to deduce this intent from the overall context of the operation. That even these humanitarian measures are part of the genocide
In essence that if you know that 2 million people are starving and you knowingly give them insufficient food/water, while your soldiers kill them on sight and bomb them in "safe places", then you should conclude that your intent is to destroy them despite these measures
But is that the "only reasonable inference"? Israel will argue it is not. At some point, if it gets desperate, it may even concede that the other reasonable inference is an intent to comit war crimes, but not genocide - that is enough: there is no jurisdiction for war crimes...
This is why South Africa has also claimed Israel is not trying to prevent its soldiers from comitting genocide or punishing its officials who incite genocide. Because Israel winning the main claim sort of means Israel will lose the other two
Of course, there is a scenario where South Africa prevails. But it is not a scenario a colonial and Eurocentric international law was created for. South Africa's case is sort of subversive of the sysem in this way
To be clear: this is not bc ICJ Judges are just realpolitik agents of their states. They are serious competent jurists. But they do operate within the socio-legal context of an int'l law that conceives genocide a "once in a lifetime" crime that ought to be very difficult to prove
Int'l law is not an "even playing field", not because there is any kind of conspiracy, but because it was born out of colonialist principles, not to enable liberation. South Africa is challenging this, and they may succeed, but they don't have it "in the bag"
So I guess, don't be pessimistic, but be cautiously hopeful rather than confident
The Wall Street Journal: "Israel will try to seize the border with Egypt"
"Israeli officials informed Egypt about a military operation that is planned to be carried out soon in the Philadelphia area"
Megatron: Egypt announced a few weeks ago that this is a red line for them and will mean a declaration of war by Israel.
But considering President Sisi's cowardly nature in the past, the Egyptian army will likely just sit back and watch.

According to Wikipedia in Reparations Agreement between Israel and the Federal Republic of GermanyAmid all the heated discussion surrounding Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s submarine affair, there’s a question that’s gone unanswered: Why didn’t Netanyahu claim Germany’s debt to Israel under the reparations agreement? Payment of the debt would save the Israeli tax payers about $2 billion in the submarine and ship...
So Germany has been forced? Or they are gladly?The Reparations Agreement between Israel and the Federal Republic of Germany (German: Luxemburger Abkommen, "Luxembourg Agreement", or Wiedergutmachungsabkommen, "Wiedergutmachung Agreement";[1] Hebrew: הסכם השילומים, romanized: Heskem HaShillumim, "Reparations Agreement") was signed on September 10, 1952, and entered in force on March 27, 1953.[2] According to the Agreement, West Germany was to pay Israel for the costs of "resettling so great a number of uprooted and destitute Jewish refugees" after the war, and to compensate individual Jews, via the Conference on Jewish Material Claims Against Germany, for losses in Jewish livelihood and property resulting from Nazi persecution.[3]

Namibia rejects Germany’s Support of the Genocidal Intent of the Racist Israeli State against Innocent Civilians in Gaza
On Namibian soil, #Germany committed the first genocide of the 20th century in 1904-1908, in which tens of thousands of innocent Namibians died in the most inhumane and brutal conditions. The German Government is yet to fully atone for the genocide it committed on Namibian soil. Therefore, in light of Germany’s inability to draw lessons from its horrific history, President @hagegeingob expresses deep concern with the shocking decision communicated by the Government of the Federal Republic of Germany yesterday, 12 January 2024, in which it rejected the morally upright indictment brought forward by South Africa before the #InternationalCourtofJustice that Israel is committing genocide against Palestinians in #Gaza.
Worryingly, ignoring the violent deaths of over 23 000 Palestinians in Gaza and various United Nations reports disturbingly highlighting the internal displacement of 85% of civilians in Gaza amid acute shortages of food and essential services, the German Government has chosen to defend in the International Court of Justice the genocidal and gruesome acts of the Israeli Government against innocent civilians in Gaza and the Occupied Palestinian Territories.
Germany cannot morally express commitment to the United Nations Convention against genocide, including atonement for the genocide in Namibia, whilst supporting the equivalent of a holocaust and genocide in Gaza. Various international organizations, such as Human Rights Watch have chillingly concluded that Israel is committing war crimes in Gaza.
President Geingob reiterates his call made on 31 December 2023, “No peace-loving human being can ignore the carnage waged against Palestinians in Gaza”. In that vein, President Geingob appeals to the German Government to reconsider its untimely decision to intervene as a third-party in defence and support of the genocidal acts of Israel before the International Court of Justice.
