South Africa opened a case against the Gazan Genocide by Israel at the International Court of Justice in The Hague. 

The president said that - at this stage - it is not yet needed to ascertain to decide whether or not it is genocide, but only if the acts appear to be. 

The court found that Israel has committed such acts. 'At least some acts appear to be capable of falling with the genocide convention,' president says. 

The court ordered Israel to take measures to prevent and punish direct incitement of genocide in its war in Gaza.

"The state of Israel shall.... take all measures within its power to prevent the commission of all acts within the scope of Article II of the Genocide convention," the court said.
 

 Netanyahu and the IDF already have tweeted (yes, tweeted) noone (even a ruling) is going to stop them annihilate Gaza before this case took place tho. Doesnt happen often, but i tend to believe them on their word here. 

They also think that they won somehow (that genocide is not ruled) but they forgot to mention that that wasnt the stage yet for it plus that the acts are indeed ruled to be appearing as genocide.   

 Horrible indeed. 

 Twitter deboosted big Israel critics and simultaneously let two other things go viral (Taylor Swift and the AI pics outrage plus Ben Shapiro (known zionist) with the cringiest rap videoclip you will ever see in your life). 

At least some of these happenings seem to feel correlated and appear to be a distraction from the ruling and more, Matata says.
