The second day of South Africa’s case against Israel at the International Court of Justice at The Hague saw Israel take the stand, defending against accusations that its government is committing genocide against Palestinians in Gaza. South Africa is demanding an emergency suspension of Israel’s aerial and ground assault on Gaza in front of the United Nations’ highest court. From The Hague, we hear from Diala Shamas, a senior staff attorney at the Center for Constitutional Rights, the organization that sued President Biden in November, accusing him of failing to prevent genocide in Gaza. Shamas recaps the two days of hearings and discusses other avenues for holding Israel accountable. “Whether it’s at the ICJ or whether it’s in federal court in the United States, we’re really looking to government to do everything that they can to uphold their duty to prevent an unfolding genocide,” says Shamas.

  1. Why can't some people just shut their mouth when they don't know what they are doing and talking about??? Why don't we just open our eyes and use our ears to listen and our others' senses to understand what is exactly happening in the entire world???

  2. This lady is not presenting an unbiased view and South Africa should put its own house in order before pontificating .. u have to look at their real motives..

  3. MAHIRAF gumawa ng mga batas na mali…after a few decades ay mga kabataan din ang mag sa suffer! Dahil sa katangahan ng kanilang mga bobong magulang!

  4. The argument the defense lawyer for Israel makes in this clip is totally irrelevant. Whether Israel wanted the conflict or is not is irrelevant because what the judges need to decide is whether what the Israelis did once the war started constituted genocide, regardless of why the conflict actually started and who wanted it. Also, whether South Africa is arrogant in acting as the conscience of the world, again, is totally irrelevant because what matters is the fact that it is suing, that it has filed a lawsuit and that needs to be addressed and not the character of South African plaintiffs.

  5. The Jew hatred socialism news outlet spelling hate against a country who never done bad things to the world

  6. Sana maging anghel kayo ng planeta, na taga pagpatunog ng pakakak ng Diyos, para sa pagkondena ng kasamaan at pagkawasak watak ng sangkatauhan… May sariling puso ang batas na makatarungan.. hinde basta basta nakikinig sa sigawan at hinaing ng mga pokpok na babae!

  7. Ang pag gawa ng batas.. hinde kinukuha sa awa…o galit ng personal na damdamin na nakikita ng mata… Ang pag gawa ng batas ay DAFAT na alam ang side effect nito sa future… Yong DAFAT bumubuo ng mga salitang makakabuti sa buong mundo..hinde sa isang milyon lamang.o maging sa isang lahi lamang…. Kase international law ang dfat pinaiiral! Ang tunay na batas ay tungkol sa kaayusang totoo at hinde sa pansariling nasa lamang.. dahil gusto lang yumaman ng ilang libo o ilang milyon kaya… Bilyon ang dami ng taong dfat ikonseder… Dahil mahilig ng mamasyal ang lahat sa bawat bahagi ng planeta..

  8. Dont tell lies as Unied Nation justice providers blamig genocide Germany did Japan did violated or America dropped atoms bombs dropped over two Japani cities therefore United Nations justifying cruelty of israeli Army Air Forces and israeli Navy doing as genocide on Palestine people

  9. O que gosto deste canal e como tenta passar imagem de humanista!😂

  10. As we look in in, we see that israel got a lot of powerful people back in them up.🫵🌅💯💯💯 Guess what the people will make sure you pay. Africa seeing it and 🇺🇸america saw it To be precise all you have to pay for your crimes ☝️🌅💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯

  11. The lying taking place in this is disgusting… everyone just put your blinders on, nothing to see here….

  12. What new thing do you want to hear
    If you have been attacking me for the pastb20yrs, should i not defend myself for the past 20yrs

  13. The South African president shook Putin's hand recently, so that is all you need to know about South African politics, allegiances and interests. Don't believe these hypocrites

  14. Just compare the amount of killing carried out by the United States and its ally Israel with that carried out by Islamic groups accused of terrorism.

  15. The Israeli defence representative," I'd lost a page…"
    ," someone has shuffled my papers…."
    Divine justice
    FREE DIGNIFIED PALESTINIANS

  16. The average Israeli does not know the extent of Israel's draconian policies against Palestinians in the West Bank, and how they are treated like second class citizens there. This is just like how you do not know that Hamas leaders have called for the Killling of ALL Jews around the world. THAT is true genocide. (you did not know about that because the pro-Hamas media is hard at work controlling what people see and hear. )

    You also did not know that there were no Israeli troops in Gaza before the Hamas attack in October 7th. Why? Because Israel forcibly REMOVED hundreds of JEWISH families from their ancestral homes in Gaza in the year 2000, specifically to allow Palestinians in Gaza to rule themselves. They had the docks, they had water and electricity coming from Israel, and they had the large border crossing with Egypt. The US and EU also gave BILLIONS of dollars to Palestinian groups throughout the last several DECADES in order to help them. But Hamas made videos of themselves BRAGGING about using that money to buy weapons. They made videos showing themselves digging up the $100 million water pipping system that the EU donated to them in order to make rockets. And Hamas continued to preach HATE and death to their population. And Hamas continued to fire rockets into Jewish civilian towns, where there are women and children. Make no mistake, Israel's policies towards the Palestinians in the West Bank are awful and apartheid. But it is HAMAS who started this war. It is HAMAS who are trying hard to perform genocide.

  17. Defend its self , are we blind ? Brainwashed or what ….everything is recorded and videos are all over the internet . Shameful
    The world has to stand together against those who believes they are about the international law if there is any left

  18. America MUST STOP supporting ISRAEL militarily and NO African States should engage with Israel in anyway

  19. Truly sickening…..Israel's reputation will not recover EVER…the USA will continue as a dying Empire, and the UK is finished…

  20. ICJ become STUPID board.. There is no smock without fire… wake Up everybody… wash your brain with true value

  21. I have heard a child defend to escape punishment
    But here israel is inviting punishment from Almighty for their sins

  22. The most corrupt government in the world takes Israel to court? Its laughable. And now the bankrupt, corrupt ANC party has enough money suddenly to launch their campaign for the next elections, literally billions? Follow the money. The ANC or South Africa as you like to call them, does not stand for the majority of South Africans. They have been bought and paid for by their buddies Iran or Russia. They dont give a farthing what is happening in Gaza just as they dont give a farthing as to what is happening in their own country and the crimes against humanity that they are guilty of.
