"The government can’t handle corruption, lack of food water and electricity shortages and lack of safety in RSA but has time and resources to front for Iran a mega oppressor of human rights. ANC lost it."
Hanoch Maskalchi commented:
"Good move. The president of RSA failed at ICJ and positioned RSA with Iran, Hamas and Hizbolla all corrupt and racist regimes with genocidal intentions and dids. ANC lost it completely."
Hanoch Maskalchi added:
"Luckily ICJ rejected the false accusations of genocide made by ANC and refused to tell Israel to stop the war. The president made a huge political and moral mistake siding with Islamic jihadists the worst enemies of the world."
Netizens jubilant as Israel loses face at the ICJ
Briefly News previously reported that the International Court of Justice has ordered that Israel does what it can to prevent the killing of Palestinians. It has also ordered Israel to allow humanitarian aid to flow into Palestine. Netizens were jubilant and celebrated the judgement as a landmark and historic moment.
According to Eyewitness News, the ICJ voted by 15 votes to 2 and passed the judgement that Isrle stop killing Palestinians. This does not translate to a ceasefire order, but it also means that Israel must allow humanitarian aid to reach the Palestinian people. South Africa took Israel to the ICJ and opened a case of genocide against Israel.
The international community applauded South Africa for its step as South Africa sent a solid legal team to represent the nation. Israel applied to have the case dismissed, and they lost the application.
