THE TERM GENOCIDE BEING WEAPONIZED
January 13, 2024From INSIDE the ROOM:
No photographic equipment was allowed in the court room so I used paper and pen as well as eyes and ears to record the events that I observed as Israel’s defence team took the floor yesteray to present the case for Israel in its genocide case brought against it by the Republic of South Africa.
As Israel’s defence was called to begin by the President of the court, Judge Joan Donoghue, it became apparent that their line of argument was going to follow the same debunked, dispelled, unacceptable, unbelievable, unverified line that Israel has been pushing since Oct 7.
Tal Becker, who delivered Israel’s opennig statement, tried to convince the court and the world that South Africa had sullied the word “”GENOCIDE”” by accusing Israel of such a heinous crime whch should only be reserved for the most “”barbaric actions””.
He went on and on but the fact that he and all zionists and anyone defending or supporting Israel’s unconscionable and disproportionate attacks on the civilians of Gaza as “”BARBARIC”” is THE PROBLEM!
I almost coughed in shock when I heard him say that but didn’t want to get thrown out so swallowed my disbelief.
There were many moments like this for me yesterday as I sat in the court room WITNESSING the FALSE and MISLEADING information Israel was using to defend its BARBARIC actions.

English Script:
Tal Becker: The Genocide Convention was not designed to address the brutal impact of intensive hostilities on the civilian population. Even when the use of force raises, quote, very serious issues of international law and involves enormous suffering and continuing loss of life, end quote. The convention was set apart to address a malevolent crime of the most exceptional severity. The attempt to weaponize the term genocide against Israel in the present context, does more than tell the court a grossly distorted story, and it does more than empty the word of its unique force and special meaning, it subverts the object and purpose of the convention itself with ramifications for all states seeking to defend themselves against those who demonstrate total disdain for life and for the law.
