International courts have served as forums for accusations against Israel
THE UNSANCTIONED Durban conference in 2001 designed to expose and excise racism and xenophobia from the international community, ended up being a festival of hatred and racism against one country: Israel
Despite the withdrawal of both the United States and Israel over contentious language equating Zionism with racism, the “apartheid” and even genocidal rhetoric against the Jews and Israel has persisted, emboldening efforts to delegitimize Israel on the international stage
The international courts have served as additional forums enabling accusations of war crimes and genocide against Israel and “lawfare” campaigns to delegitimize the Jewish state
In December 2023 South Africa, later joined by other nations, turned to the International Court of Justice (ICJ) to make unfounded accusations of genocide against Israel
That case underscores the United Nation’s politicization and reflects a troubling willingness to disregard factual evidence
Even those within the UN establishment, such as genocide expert Alice Nderitu, faced repercussions for opposing the case, illustrating the systemic bias prevalent within the organization
At the International Criminal Court (ICC) in November 2024 arrest warrants were issued for Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and then-defense minister Yoav Gallant, claiming that they were responsible for war crimes allegedly committed during ongoing military actions against Hamas
Simultaneous warrants for Hamas leaders were issued posthumously, somehow equating the terrorist organization that had carried out the October 7, 2023 massacre and kidnappings with the democratic State of Israel which complied strictly with international law in its counter-terror operations, preventing civilian deaths in Gaza by issuing warnings by flyers and allowing humanitarian aid to enter
