The Hague Day 2 -Israel Rejects Accusations of Genocide in Gaza.

Friday the 12th of January 2024 was day 2 at the Hague also known as the “Peace Palace” where the International Court of Justice (ICJ) convened to deliberate on the unfolding crisis in Gaza for the second time. The proceedings commenced yesterday at the behest of South Africa, with the accusation that Israel is perpetrating genocide within the Gaza Strip.

Yesterday the 11th of January, the South Africa Legal team had the opportunity to plead their case as reported by the Expose and today the legal team for Israel responded.

The Response From the Israel Legal Team.

Israel rejected the accusations brought by South Africa to the International Court of Justice (ICJ) that its actions in Gaza amount to genocide. In a second day of a public hearing at the world body in The Hague, Israel’s legal representatives claimed South Africa’s case was “unfounded”, “absurd” and amounting to “libel”, and said Israel sought not to destroy a people but to protect its people and their arguments revolved around its “right to self-defence” following the attacks by Hamas on October 7.

The Israel legal team also argued that there was a lack of evidence to prove ‘genocidal intent’ and has asked the International Court of Justice to dismiss the case.

Inevitable Fatalities and Suffering

Christopher Staker, a lawyer representing Israel, said, “The inevitable fatalities and human suffering of any conflict is not of itself a pattern of conduct that plausibly shows genocidal intent.” Additionally Malcolm Shaw, a professor of international law representing Israel, said the case relates only to charges of genocide, which “stands alone among violations of international law as the epitome of evil”.

If the charge of genocide is levelled incorrectly, “the essence of this crime would be lost”, he said. Shaw added that such evidence was lacking in the arguments South Africa presented a day earlier. The Lawyer argued the attack on October 7th 2023 required Israel to defend itself.

The same lawyer also accused “someone has shuffled my papers”

The Arguments from South Africa

However, South Africa’s legal team had provided overwhelmingly devastating evidence of genocide against the Palestinian people on day 1 at the International Court of Justice at the Hague as reported here yesterday. Source

A Living Hell

Irish lawyer Blinne Ní Ghrálaigh, who was part of the South Africa legal team, has been praised for he stunning speech against the Israeli conduct in Gaza said “The first genocide in history where its victims are broadcasting their own destruction in real time in the desperate, so far vain hope that the world might do something.”

Binne Ni Ghrálaigh who has previously worked on The Bloody Sunday Inquiry, Gaza (14 years ago) and Genocide hearings v Serbia and also worked as the lawyer for the Colston Four, presented her argument beginning

There is an urgent need for provisional measures to protect Palestinians in Gaza from the irreparable prejudice caused by Israel’s violations of the genocide convention the United Nations.

She continued “The Secretary General and its Chiefs describe the situation in Gaza variously as a crisis of humanity, a living hell, a blood bath a situation of utter deepening and unmatched horror where an entire population is besieged and under attack denied access to the essentials for survival on a massive scale. See Video Below.

Understandably, many people will be thinking that even if Israel are found guilty that nothing will change and although, it may be assumed that Israel would simply ignore the icj as it has done before, this is not the case according to International Law Professor at the University of Illinois College of Law, Francis Boyle, who had read the pleadings from the South Africa legal team prior to the proceedings.

Through the professors judgement, knowledge and experience, he argues that South Africa will win a cease an desist order against Israel for genocide against the Palestinian people in Gaza and according to the professor, this will have significant consequences.

For instance, Israel would be suspended from the UN, and Palestine could be recognised as a UN nation, and no UN nation has been destroyed and Israel could also have sanctions against them and individuals could be prosecuted for war crime. (see video for more).

If Israel is found to be committing genocide, it would not only have implications for Israel but also the states who are supporting the the attacks against the Palestinians, without whom they would not be possible.

“This is Anti – Jewish”

The use of the same old tropes were used in the Hague today, as have been used for the duration of the attack on Gaza. However, “This is wrong according to Jewish Law, not only International law” says Rabbi Dovid Feldman from outside of the Hague yesterday.

23,210 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli forces during the sustained attacks over the last three months at least 70% of whom are believed to be women and children and some 7000 Palestinians are still missing, presumed dead under the rubble, we heard from the Hague yesterday.

We have all seen the absolute horror show in real time, pictures of innocent people maimed, bloodied, suffering, homeless, orphaned, dead. To find this all too horrific, abhorrent, and intolerable and to show our support for the people of Gaza does not equate to antisemitism.

The attacks on the innocent people of Gaza are inhumane, if the ICJ do not order a cease and desist after the three months of devastation in Gaza, what message does this give other despots?

The American’s should do their own dirty washing, re genocide, before they question how other countries handle theirs: CDC Expected Huge Increase in VAERS Reporting of vaccines injuries and deaths.
The contract states that they were expecting up to 1,000 VAERS reports to be filed per day, with up to 40% of the reports being serious in nature:
According to the contract, VAERS had been receiving an annual average of 53,000 reports in recent years, so in contracting for up to 1,000 reports per day, the CDC was already anticipating that the COVID vaccines might generate nearly seven times as many reports as all other vaccines combined (a 600% increase), with a rate of serious adverse events that could be up to 8 times higher.
The initial total amount specified (with options) under the contract with Eagle Health Analytics was $5,925,388.58 or $7,077,054.90 “with all options” (which presumably includes the extension of the VAERS work through July). This amount also includes the CISA project assistance. However, it does not include the increased hours in the Oct. 29 revision, nor the increase for the V-SAFE pregnancy registry work. However, I have not been able to find the contract in any Federal contracts database. Perhaps one of my readers will have better luck.
How Much Did All of This Cost?
The amounts paid out under the contracts with General Dynamics were redacted. But according to this site, the initial amount paid was $9.45 million, with $4.4 million added in late February, and then an additional $16.3 million tacked on in early March. In March of 2022 there was an additional $5.2 million added, though it’s not clear for what since the contract had presumably expired by then. (Best guess is that General Dynamics continued some or all of its work on COVID VAERS reports with Eagle Health brought in for additional support.) Grand total? $35,425,642 of your taxpayer dollars.Military Revealed as Top Funder of Gene Drives; Gates Foundation paid $1.6 million to influence UN on gene drives 2016 December 4, 2017
(VAERS records 1% of all injuries and deaths, so multiply figures given by 41 (x41) to arrive at 100% numbers
1,000 VAERS reports Daily x 41 = 41,000 Injuries or death recorded for $5,925,388.58
But Grand total? $35,425,642 paid which is roughly 7 times the initial contract paid – in America ONLY = 7 x 41,000 = on a sliding scale up to 287,000 injuries and deaths from the Covid vaccines EACH DaY and that was acceptable then in 2021, to continue the vaccine program to 2024?
https://christine257.substack.com/p/there-were-no-covid-19-vaccines-close?utm_source=%2Fsearch%2Fgeneral%2520dynamics&utm_medium=reader2
AND these deaths and injuries have continued to increase daily since 2021 – so conclusion:
The ModRNA vaccines which contain Moderna’s Covid-19 virus #CTCCTCGGCGGGCACGTAG injected into the bodies of those who volunteered to have them, have so far killed and injured millions if not billions around the world and now The International Court Of Justice ignores that and focuses on Israel instead?

Yes, the vaccines are just part of the noise. Politicians are puppets for their global handlers that they do not even really believe exist. Politicians are just as easily mind controlled as the sheeple population who walked straight into the ‘vaccine’ trap, as they did the 911 trap triggering endless wars, the climate change lies….. This is all about a transfer of wealth from wealthy countries to the global elite, who are also being handed the reins of power and control over us through evil UN and other entities.

The global elite know that the minion politicians, scientists, teachers, doctors, nurses, journalists… just blindly follow to keep their jobs, but as narcissists they all believe they are leaders saving humanity and the environment. This type of behavior is almost expected these days, this is why media such as The Expose and Rebel News are under so much corporate and political attacks to destroy them, because truth is a threat to their agenda of global domination.

What truly saddens me is so many fall for the narrative. There might be a few countries who are less poisoned, however, the system is about selection by the filth. Believing we actually have choice is no different to believing in fairies.

What we see is designed to divide us, to see our fellow humans as enemies instead of the filth, who are our true enemies. To my mind things would be boring if we didn’t think differently, we learn from and teach each other if we open our minds some.

Hamas is a terrorist organisation and launched 5000 missiles into Israel (using US weapons) and if anyone thinks the country should not respond to this act of warfare to defend their country, need their head examined. Even Egypt wont accept Palestinians. Israel is a structured defence force with the issue of targeting a terrorist organisation who use civilian women and children as shields. The legacy media report civilian Palestinian dead and injured the fault of Israel when it is Hamas that killed them. Hamas will behead any westerner and jew if they can get away with it. Especially the brainless LGQTABCD lot sympathetic to an organisation that will kill them quick sticks.

We have a completely mind controlled sheeple western population addicted to vapes, alcohol, cigarettes, drugs, medications, consumerism, gambling to food as lazy fixes. These lazy minds also buy the legacy media’s political narrative to divide and conquer. The latest is sympathy to Hamas terrorists that will behead any Jew or Westerner given the chance with their plan to have full global dominion.

The sheeple population no longer understand good from evil, right from wrong. They have begged to be vaccinated, beg government to hand our financial wealth and sovereignty to corporate welfare in the name of ‘saving’ the environment and humanity, allow their children to hear drag queen story time and gender reassignment, will happily send 10 billion cars into land fil for ‘EV’s in absurd beliefs they are environmentally friendly… These are the same sheeple population as scientists who create pseudoscience climate change to keep their jobs, peddle untested toxic gene therapy drugs they deceptively call vaccines to keep their jobs…. I could write a book on the stupidity of humanity, who in the west now hate having freedom and will enforce masks and lockdown mandates for their ‘safety’ without giving any intellectual thought of the cost to freedoms. National average IQ levels have plummeted in my lifetime, it is not going to get any better as more of the population are incapable of critical thought. Lastly, Jews were in their homeland Israel 3,000 years ago before Palestinians were invented 2,000 years ago by the Roman Empire to persecute Jews and Islam was invented 1,000 years ago to eradicate Jews off the planet.

Do you really think it was an accident that Israel was amongst the first and most heavily mRNA vaccinated? If you look at Deagels depopulation maps and look online for a Jewish population by country, you will find eerie similarities – where Jews live is almost a carbon copy for where mRNA ‘vaccines’ were distributed. One notable exception is Russia and Ukraine, but the globalists have them at war with each other in a multi-pronged battle to destroy mostly Westerners and Jewish populations.

When push comes to shove, and you get rid of the noise of global chaos this is really about good versus evil, or believers in Christ and believers in the Anti-Christ. Colour of skin, country born, religion, are simply the variables that can be used to pit one against the other to keep us divided and living in chaos.

This shows how Netanyahu funded Hammas to avoid having a Palestinian state.

I can see straight through drivel and lies when I see it. This is a a 100% biased hit piece deserving of a mainstream media award. It stuns me that someone can be on this site and yet absorb that unsubstantiated rubbish.

So you can see through drivel and lies can you? Then you must be able to see through the Israeli lies. Here is a bit of reality for you –

“Video Shows IDF Shooting Unarmed, Loitering West Bank Palestinians, Killing One”.

Note – “the IDF’s fatal shooting of Palestinian-American journalist Shireen Abu Akleh in 2022, which eventually ended in a mere apology and no charges against soldiers” – no charges.

Hamas is a resistance group fighting against occupiers and oppressors who are stealing land. For decades, the Palestinians have been treated with brutality, beatings and murder.

Patricia Harriti, and not for the first time, shows one-sidedness in favor of the Palestinians, and of course the massacre, the slaughter of children, women, and the elderly in their homes by Hamas is not mentioned, after all, she is an example and the reason that Europe is conquered by Islam, she supports murderous terrorism that is worse than the Nazis and ISIS. When one day the historians ask how the enlightened Europeans gave their home to the Muslims, you can read the writings of Patricia Harriti

You and Rhoda are why i love the Expose Patricia. Bless your hearts, you’re stuck between a rock and a hard place.

Guilty of looking for confirmation bias recently myself. Sadly that’s what most actually want, their personal thoughts justified.

Your job isn’t justifying people who already have some idea of what’s happening, it’s presenting evidence which might awaken others. Think you do a great job of that.

Really think we’re all watching horrific theatre, because the Scum are operating from a position of unexpected weakness, not strength, from their point of view.

They’ve planned it for millennia, spent so much time conditioning us to believe they’re our saviours, from the evil they’ve wrought. Genuinely think most people are at least pretty awake and the Filth have burned their boats, they have even less choice than we do.

Sure they’d love to return to the Old Normal for a while but no longer have that option.
