To the Palestinian population and the impossibility of Distributing this limited aid while bombs fall this conduct renders Essentials to life unobtainable at this provisional measures stage as this court has made clear in The Gambia Myanmar case it is not necessary for the court to come to a

  1. This is the first time a country has taken a stand against this anti-human act. I am from India and every country in the world should condemn what Israel is doing. Who understands Apartheid better than the people of South Africa. My respect for this country has increased tenfold.

  7. Respect to south africa and Yemen for taking the world's attention on the genocide taking place in the holy land that has seen over 13000 children, 7 thousand women, 520 paramedics and 120 journalists get killed by US-supported israeli military in the last 90 days

  8. South africa is a Godless country. I know I live there.

    Israel isn't reponsible for Gazas' well-being. Their elected government, hamas, is.

  15. દારૂ ગોળો જેટલો વપરાયો😢😢😢😢😢😢?😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢પેલેસ ટાઇન 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢ઈઝરાઈલ / us / 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😮ન્યાય મળશે😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😮😮😮😮😮😮😮

  19. How ironic to get a Palestinian lawyer to represent South Africa.. 🤦🏻‍♂️ You see how these terrorists operate.. In fact South Africa is in a reverse apartheid state and the South African government are also causing genocide against its own people.

  21. What Netanyahu and Biden are doing to Palestinians is no different than what Putin is doing to Ukrainians. That don’t make sense

  22. British government more interested in keeping their Israeli friends ships safe, let’s be clear that the Houthi’s haven’t killed any civilians or shot at civilian ships

  27. SA, let's see another case against UK and USA and those voted against ceasefire in Gaza for supporting genocide against Palestinians. Also let's see separate one on UK and USA war crimes allover the world world. Also lets see a case on UN vetoe, and vetos policy, and non applicable resolutions that is in favour of Palestinians and Palestine. Thanks SA.

  30. She looks and sounds just like Lara Ravel.. I thank the Gods someone is FINALLY taking a stand against Israel and the inhuman atrocities they've long routinely committed against the Palestinians. South Africa has earned my respect.

  31. South-Africa ANC government is corrupt, stealing billions from their own people. Unemployment all time high, crime all time high. It’s a genocide in itself. Starving its own. hypocrites!
