GERMANY - Decision Against Israel at ICJ

Germany, an early defender of Israel against allegations of genocide in Gaza at the International Court of Justice, has pulled support as it faces its own charges for aiding Israel.

Germany will no longer intervene on Israel’s behalf, a spokesperson for the German Foreign Ministry told reporters.

The U-turn comes after the German government rejected South Africa’s claims as “baseless” in January 2024, saying they amounted to “political instrumentalization” of the 1948 Genocide Convention, a treaty that outlined the crime under international law in the aftermath of the Holocaust. It said it would file an intervention on Israel’s behalf.

But when that deadline arrived, Germany was not among the countries weighing in. It said it could not wade in without compromising its own ICJ case, filed by Nicaragua later in 2024, that alleges that Germany violated international law by supporting Israel in the Gaza war.

Commentary: What is genocide? “Genocide is the deliberate, systematic, and planned attempt to destroy a specific group of people based on their nationality, race, ethnicity, or religion. It involves killing members, causing serious harm, creating unlivable conditions, preventing births, or forcibly transferring children” (Google AI Overview).

To be brutally truthful, that is how all nations—particularly in the colonial world—were established: Kill the Indians, take their land.

That was practiced throughout history. However, it climaxed in modern times with Nazi Germany, which deliberately encouraged and practiced the killing of Jews regardless of their origin, age, or proven ethnicity.

Yad Vashem, the Holocaust memorial in Israel, has come up with over 5 million names of the 6 million murdered during the Second World War.

When doing research, one quickly notices that those who intend to commit genocide particularly include Palestinian Arabs, Hamas, Hezbollah, the Houthis, and a number of Arab nations. What is their slogan? “From the River to the Sea, make Palestine free.” Free of what? Obviously, free of Jews. It can’t mean politically free, because actual democracy is practically unknown in Islamic nations. Quite surprisingly, virtually no one has challenged their publicly stated intention to eradicate Jews in the land of Israel.

For Germany not to support Israel in the ICJ genocide case, is most horrendous when considering the Holocaust, perpetrated by Germany.
