The humanitarian catastrophe being inflicted on the people of Gaza clearly demonstrates the morals and brutality of the current Zionist government and its Western sponsors. What sort of regime demolishes apartment buildings full of civilians, crushing entire families in the rubble? Israel has levelled whole neighbourhoods and killed thirty thousand this way. The survivors are left homeless and starving, denied the basic necessities of life; clean water, food, fuel, shelter, medicines and electricity.
For the past five months, Gaza has been subjected to what I would call a genocidal assault and the destruction of civilian infrastructure; schools, churches, mosques, hospitals, bakeries and thousands of homes. Not a single Western government has spoken out in condemnation of the daily massacres. But a nation that once freed itself from apartheid oppression with the help of world opinion, did have the courage and humanity to challenge Israel. South Africa brought the matter before the highest court in the world, the International Court of Justice at the Hague, accusing Israel of violating the Genocide Convention.
On January 26, the World Court ruled that it is ‘plausible’ that Israel has committed acts that violate the Genocide Convention. Israel’s Zionist regime must now confront what it has done and account for its actions in Gaza. This ruling will also affect countries like Australia, Britain and the US, who are currently providing support for Israel’s assault on Gaza. There will now be increased scrutiny of Israel’s conduct in its treatment of the Palestinians to see if it is in breach of the Genocide Convention, and countries supporting or enabling Israel’s actions will likewise find themselves liable to charges of complicity in the crime of genocide.
Indeed, our prime minister has become the first Western leader to be referred to the International Criminal Court for investigation into whether they have aided or supported Israel’s actions in Gaza, and bear any individual criminal responsibility, by Australian law firm, Birchgrove Legal. This is an invidious position for a nation that claims to respect human rights and the rule of law.

All they have to do is release the hostages and rid Hamas from their lives, until that happens Israel will hunt them down and dispose of them, simple.
