Support South Africa’s case against Israel at the International Court of Justice

Why this petition matters

The signature box may be found on the top of this document.

We the undersigned applaud and fully support South Africa’s referral of Israel to the ICJ (International Court of Justice) for its genocidal crimes against the Palestinian people in Gaza. We hope that this action will lead to some form of international action that will put an end to the suffering of the people of Gaza, and also lead to achieving justice after two months of incessant war crimes by Israel which have led to 21,000 deaths so far.

According to Al Jazeera.com ‘In an application to the court on Friday 29th December 2023, South Africa described Israel’s actions in Gaza as “genocidal in character because they are intended to bring about the destruction of a substantial part of the Palestinian national, racial and ethnical group”. The acts in question include “killing Palestinians in Gaza, causing them serious bodily and mental harm, and inflicting on them conditions of life calculated to bring about their physical destruction,” the application said.’
