South Africa have referred the Israeli govt to the prosecutor of the International Criminal Court.


Good on you SA

Long damn overdue!

The overwhelming hypocrisy of western values is overbearing.

Further proof the the ICC is nothing but a useful tool

Well even world justice is corrupt, if a nation have enough money to spread around, they could commit crimes against humanity and try to justify it to the common man after they pay off the people who suppose to be the standard bearers. Congrats to South Africa for taking action, however they might now be hit with a sanction.

They are standing on ANC principle of Justice as well as Madiba's fearless and full support/gratitude re PLO and Cuba.
But perhaps more importantly, elephant gats long memory. Dem armoured vehicle, high power hoses, and 'security' techniques
in 'Apart-Hate' SA were Israeli imports.
Das why Peter Tosh was willing to risk sabotage and give up a five hundred grand income rather than tour Israel.

ICC is a paper tiger!

Real jokers - ganging up against a small population of 16 million people, globally!

SA, why not send troops to Israel and let them join Hamas to fight?

They should put their troop where their mouth is and fight, that's the kind of support I respect!

Nice, they will face war crimes, they cannot use religious mythology as a defense.

Why you always have to come up with such things? So, glaring! Which Int'l organization ever join a fight on either side?
You know better, UN is the only armed int'l agency via troops volunteered by countries and we all know their role is to stand between the warring factions to ensure the peace holds. What you post up deh ain' sarcasm bro it is sup'n else.

I correct it fah yuh!

Hamas ideology is to wipe Israel off the map!

They are a front for most Muslim countries in the Arabian peninsula!

They want the entire land for bragging rights - the Al-Aqsa Mosque is for the rise and fall of many people!

Israel fighting for survival, Hamas fighting for freedom!

The Israeli position is us or them!

They should join together and fight Israel to stop the bloodletting!

They also have a willing partner in China and Putin!

Westerners too naive and fool-fool - playing the devil and savior of the world!

Sooner than later Hamas, ISIS, Hezbollah et. al will teach them a lesson!

You conveniently omitted that both the Israelis and the Palestinians subscribe to religious dogma which professes that they have a divine right to that land to the exclusion of all others.

And that they are each prepared to violently evict the other to enforce their title deed given to them by their magic dictator in the clouds.

100% correct!

I remember seeing a small Israeli Jewish boy telling a BBC reporter that the Torah specifically gives that land to the Jews.

He then proceeded to find the exact spot in his holy book where it was purportedly written and said to the camera "look...it's written right here that god gave us this land and that it belongs to us".

This is the kind of mindless infantile bullshit that will lead us to WW3.

And then you have the Muslim Palestinians who tell you that they have been there for thousands of years and their prophet took a bullet train from Mecca to Jerusalem and then rode a white horse into to the clouds to be with their celestial dictator.

Ergo, the land belongs to them.

Oye Vey.

No, my mantra is may the best man win! I called for the war for the spoils long ago!

That is not true, for the last 2000yrs. Palestine has been home to at least 3 religions. If you break down the different denominations of Christianity you could say even more beliefs.
Indeed in terms of numbers of disagreements over that time Christian denominations may have had more rows than those between Jews and Muslims. Christians even couldn't always
agree which one of them should be The Custodian for the keys to sites such as The Church of The Holy Sepulchre. Many disputes about custodial rotation, length of time etc.

That’s right, they all claim to have divine title deeds to the land bestowed to them by their friend in the sky.

The current dispute is now primarily between the Jews and Muslims.

The Jews have become a proxy for the Christian claim.

Yep, prior to '48 the three at least tolerated if not always respected each other and shared the land in relative peace.

Prior to 1917 the Ottoman/Turkish empire ensured that area was mostly inhabited by Turkish and Arab Muslims, especially after the last of the crusades.

But what we have now is a battle between the parties of god on each side who have succeeded in pushing the secular moderates into the minority and unto the sidelines.

Netanyahu is a Zionist far right fascist who will continue the illegal settlements until Gaza is completely annexed, and Hamas are a bunch of blood thirsty Islamist thugs who believe in religious martyrdom and that violence is only solution to the problem.

They both (Netanyahu and Hamas) need each other in order to remain relevant.
