E13 South Africa's Genocide Case Against Israel

Send us a text With death tolls rising on all sides, Israel's military operation in Gaza to rescue it's hostages and root out the Hamas terrorists that attacked it on October 7th continues to grind on. As imagines of Palestinian suffering reach audiences around the globe, South Africa has brought charges of genocide against Israel, claiming that the suffering of Palestinians isn't a tragic but inevitable result of Israel exercising its right to self defense, but instead a deliberate plan to destroy them as a nation. To unpack this, Francis Boyle (PhD) and Professor Amichai Cohen share their insights on the merits of South Africa's case, the role of the International Court of Justice, and how this case and recent rulings by the court will impact events moving forward. Francis Boyle (PhD): https://law.illinois.edu/faculty-research/faculty-profiles/francis-boyle/Professor Amichai Cohen: https://en.idi.org.il/experts/1491contact the show: [email protected] Support the show
