South Africa’s Minister of International Relations and Cooperation, Naledi Pandor, has warned that nations backing Israel could soon face legal repercussions in international courts.
Speaking at a mosque in Claremont, Cape Town, a speech later published by the MEMRI institute, Minister Pandor expressed: “I feel that I’m doing what I’m doing from too safe a position. I wish I were shoulder-to-shoulder with the men and women in Rafah. That’s where I feel I should be. We have been denied that opportunity by the circumstances of geography and thus we must do what we can.”
Pandor cautioned that “those countries and officials who continue to arm and fund Israel’s war machine will be liable for prosecution as well.”
She emphasized that “Civil society organizations will certainly take up such cases and hold those who facilitated genocide accountable by taking them to court.”
She also revealed that a class action lawsuit is being prepared “against all foreigners who have been serving in the IDF. A group of 140 international lawyers are working on this case. They are very carefully identifying each of these non-citizens of Israel, including South Africans, who have been fighting in Israel.”
Pandor pointed out the troubling reaction of the US Speaker of the House Mike Johnson to the ICC prosecutor’s decision, quoting him: “America should punish the ICC and put Karim Khan back in his place.” She added, “He said that if the ICC can threaten Israel’s leaders, then we know America will be next. Our answer is: ‘Of course!'”
Who gave this ape so much power?
Coming from the country with so much corruption that the power companies are forced to hire private security in the hopes that they would be able to stave out enough theft to keep the rolling blackouts from surpassing 24 hours straight.
Oh and the planned ethnic cleansing of white folk that they scheduled in 2017 until The Donald called them out for it.
Yeah absolute beacons of virtue.
“I wish I were shoulder-to-shoulder with the men and women in Rafah. That’s where I feel I should be.”
We agree! So make yourself and everyone else happy and go there.
