It’s the fake narrative that’s sparked the endless mayhem across college campuses nationwide: Israel is committing genocide in Gaza. Pro-Hamas activists have harassed Jewish businesses, harangued lawmakers, and, in some cases, assaulted Jewish students. It’s absolute mayhem at Columbia University, where students have established a quasi-terror camp on campus. Similar acts in support of radical Islamic terrorism have sprouted up at Emory, UT Austin, USC, and NYU.
The genocide narrative has been thoroughly debunked by commentators who are both liberal and conservative. Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin also said there’s zero evidence of such a crime as Israeli forces continue operations to eradicate Hamas. And now, Joan Donoghue, formerly of the International Court of Justice, elaborated further on South Africa’s January Provisional Measures Order, which alleged Israel was committing genocide, seems to have stuck the final dagger into this fake narrative. On BBC, Judge Donoghue even seemed relieved that she could further elaborate on the ruling, saying South Africa’s claim was not plausible:

Judge Donoghue left the International Court of Justice in February, but her announcement this winter for sure poured gasoline on the genocide claims, which she now admits don’t hold water.
Judge Donoghue: Some of the acts alleged by South Africa to have been “committed by Israel [in Gaza] appear to be capable of falling” within the provisions of the Genocide Convention.

Note: people should be cautious to celebrate or denounce any aspects of these findings until the entire order is delivered.

Judge Donoghue is now reviewing the findings of major international organizations on the extent of devastation, death and dire humanitarian conditions in Gaza caused by Israel’s operations.

Now she cites Israeli President Herzog’s statement saying there are no innocents in Gaza.

Donoghue: The right of Palestinians in Gaza to be protected from acts of genocide are clear.

Court finds “urgency… real imminent risk” that irreparable damage will be done to Palestinians before genocide case concludes. Court finds it is necessary for court to indicate measures to protect the population based on South Africa’s pleadings.

Court calls for immediate unconditional release of all hostages held in Gaza.

16-1 the court rules Israel must cease and punish statements of incitement.

This ruling from the ICJ is a massive legal defeat for Israel and its premiere defenders, the U.S. and Germany. The question now is enforceability and whether the U.S. will openly trample international law in an effort to continue aiding Israeli crimes against Palestinians.

I wouldn’t have a problem if it was true. Palestinians are Arab nazis. Google Hitler and the Grand Mufti if you don’t believe me.
All those “Palestinian” deaths. The graveyards must be HUGE. Why doesn’t MSNBC show pictures of the graveyards full of dead “Palestinian” people? The LITTLE graves? Where are they? How can this be anything but a LIE? IT IS A LIE! Just like “Palestine” is a lie…
Without lies, Islam dies.
Propaganda designed to make the Israeli military response look excessive instead of the measured and limited as it was! Look to the lies from “that ever trusted source” Hamas, is the causes of the civilians deaths either real or make believe. And still the over 200 hostages of various ages are unreported.
This is a bullshit article, can’t believe you people – how can you justify intentionally killing Children. Vietnam wasn’t even this bad. I’m unsubscribing. Bye
I learned an adage many years ago that’s more true now than any time in history….If the arabs lay down their weapons, there would be peace. If the Israelis’ laid down their arms, there would be genocide.
