Has Israel's Impunity Been Destroyed By ICJ And ICC? Prof. Heidi Matthews Gives Masterclass
Вставка

- As the International Court of Justice orders Israel to cease its Rafah assault - and the International Criminal Court's chief prosecutor requests arrests warrants for Israel's leaders - is time really up for Israel's genocidal campaign?
Joined by the brilliant legal scholar Prof. Heidi Matthews who explains all.

Well they're not wrong they've been impune for a while now. If thats a word.

So who will hold ANC South African gouvernment accountable for the crimes against South African citizens..if they dont care about their owm citizens do you think they care about palestinians

Yeah ! True that !
The great efforts to call the criminals out is starting to take effect, we must be strong and continue till Palestine is free

Mr. Jones, your devotion to the cause of justice is bringing fruit. Well done
Their agression is out of desperation
And viciousness. And greed.
And religion.
Netanyahu s desperation? Is real had and probably still has many avenues to a peaceful coexistence with the Palestinians and its other neighbours. It preferred hate
Israels impunity has been destroyed not only by the ICC and the ICJ but by all the people who spoke up against the genocide LONG LIVE THE PEOPLE
Thanks for your work! You are indispensable!
Thanks Owen for making this material available quickly in an understandable and organized manner
Before Oct 7 no mainstream media was talking about the atrocities israel was committing against Palestinian children. if Oct 7 didn't happen, most people on the planet would have no idea about the nightmare Palestinians have to endure since 1948.
If the Israeli government had responded proportionately international sympathy would be on their side - but instead they have made themselves a pariah

How about next week, ok?
Whether it's large scale or not is irrelevant. It's whether a Genocidal situation had been perpetrated. Clearly it has.
What evidence do you have that a "clear Genocide" has taken place?
Even Hamas overinflated figures have deaths at 1% of the population. That constitutes a Genocide? After the UN was forced to "correct" it's figures 2 weeks ago Hamas combatants could be as much as half of that number.

👍🏻🎯 Something so many are "shocked" to find out. Lol. Could have picked up any book on The Troubles or modern Ireland. Guess most internet experts only think of Guinness, Lucky Charms, & the "drinking holiday" in March. As someone who spends a decent amount of time at a friend's place in rural, southeast Ireland it cracks me up what Americans who call themselves "Irish" actually know about the country*. They are finding out, after decades, just one tiny reality of much of the Citizens of the ROI & the North & are calling out Ireland with ZERO knowledge to base their strong misinformed opinions. Pathetic. Wonder what they would think of the relationship between Republicans(not the GOP people) & Gaddafi.
*Went into a new "Irish pub" that recently opened & was billing itself as the "only real Irish pub" to ask if they would be showing any of the weekends GAA provincial matches. They stared at me until I said, "hurling? Gaelic Football? Camogie?", only to have the manager say she'd never heard of either but that they would have soccer & baseball. 😵💫

Canada needs to stand on it's own and not parrot the US! Abstaining from the most recent vote and now chiming in is too late. I am disgusted with my country's leadership. Additionally, quietly - or not so quietly - we supply parts to the US to make the armaments they send for these heinous crimes. This HAS to stop!
@@lily-roseaziz130 You are right. I have made the change. Thanks for pointing out.
I am wondering why the UK and the US are not adjoinined to the genocide case. Are they somehow innocent in aiding and abetting these crimes?
Dear Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau & Members of Parliament,
Please accept our email into the Official Record. As constituents in the Toronto-Danforth riding, we are also "horrified" and devastated by what happened in Rafah on Sunday night - an Israeli airstrike triggered a fire in a tent camp in the southern Gaza city that killed 45 Gazans and injured 250 people - many were severely burned. Despite the ICJ ruling on Friday that the offensive must stop, Israel is blatantly ignoring international law with horrifying consequences.
It is unacceptable for Canada to remain on the sidelines while Israel carries out daily massacres of Gaza's civilians. We are deeply concerned about the lack of action on an arms embargo against Israel, despite a motion that passed with a majority in the House of Commons in March, 2024. As Canadians, we condemn our government’s complicity in the atrocities the Israeli state is committing against innocent Palestinians. As our Liberal Member of Parliament, we are calling on you and your government to revoke all military export permits and impose a two-way arms embargo on Israel immediately.
We also ask that Canada agree to execute eventual arrest warrants should Prime Minister Netanyahu or Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant ever visit North America. If Canada respects the independence” of the ICC, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has a legal obligation to co-operate fully with ICC investigations and prosecutions in accordance with the Rome Statute, which is the basis of the ICC’s authority. (The ICC has made it clear member states like Canada, do not have discretion to “choose to co-operate with the Court … on the ground of a disagreement with the Court’s interpretation and application of the Statute.”)
How many more massacres in Gaza will the Liberal government tolerate before it acts on the ICC and ICJ's orders to arrest Netanyahu & Gallant and stop this genocide, as the body count soars to 36,000 dead Palestinians. It is absolutely shameful that Canada is not leading by example, as it did when defending the sovereignty of Ukrainians from Russian military aggression. There cannot be two extremes to justice - hiding behind the criminality of Israeli apartheid only implicates Canada further in those crimes.Thank you for your attention to this urgent matter and we await your response.
Sincerely, Davis & Rhonda Costas-Mirza
Toronto-Danforth
Dated: May 28th, 2024.
“So there is some spin swirling around the world right now about this”. Israel has always been very diligent with its informational war, around the world. When Netanyahu is removed, there will be an investigation and a better history will be written.
You never know. They want rid of NETANYAHU anyway , it would surprise me if they threw him at the ICC/ICJ saying the whole genocide War thingy was down to him! ie throw him to the howling dogs.
