FEATURING HUWAIDA ARRAF - South Africa has filed a genocide claim against Israel at the International Court of Justice (ICJ) at The Hague.

The official death toll has now surpassed 22,000 and Israel says it intends to intensify its campaign. The U.S. has been Israel’s biggest political supporter, supplying it with hundreds of millions of dollars of weaponry.
