'Israel’s' genocide disinformation campaign comes crashing

"Israel’s" failed attempts to project alternative facts on Gaza, and attack the jurisdiction of the ICJ, are both admissions of guilt.

    'Israel’s' genocide disinformation campaign comes crashing (illustrated by: Zeinab El Hajj, Al Mayadeen English)

It is an aftermath that has left the Israeli occupation and its warmongering ranks on edge. A sight to behold.

Look back to South Africa’s impassioned defense of Palestinian rights, liberties and self-determination at the United Nation’s top court. The reverberation of truth and fact continues to shoot down "Israel’s" pro-genocide disinformation campaign in Gaza and motivate more opposition. An 84-page submission to the International Court of Justice (ICJ) underlined the extent of Israeli violations under the 1948 Geneva Conventions, and its unmistakable push to create dehumanizing conditions on-ground to reinforce genocidal atrocities. 

The aftermath features growing opposition to "Israel’s" global campaign of denial: Indonesia and Slovenia have backed further ICJ proceedings against "Israel", and pro-Palestinian voices within the EU are widening fissures with the bloc’s occupation apologists. Even German public sentiment is beginning to strike a damning contrast to the complicity and criminal bias of Berlin’s own foreign policy attitude towards the Gaza genocide. 61% of public voters have expressed criticism and stand opposed to "Israel's" genocide, pointing to a soaring Palestinian death toll. The occupation army’s conduct has been slammed as “unjustified.” 

Taken together, "Israel’s" failed attempts to project alternative facts on Gaza, and attack the jurisdiction of the ICJ, are both admissions of guilt. As many nations and their public come out even more openly to back critical legal cases against the genocidal regime, "Israel’s" global campaign of denial is set to suffer significant blows in the short and long-term.

First, many countries are using "Israel’s" ICJ humiliation as a launchpad for stronger genocidal scrutiny and accountability. Convergence is rapid as well. All this is important, because a key enabler of "Israel’s" systemic massacres against Palestinians in Gaza is the assumption that "Israel" can normalize genocidal violence and still escape international isolation. Vital trends make clear that such a false assumption is set to face an unprecedented reckoning.

For one, Iran is laying the groundwork for preparing documentation that identifies the country as a third-party in the same proceedings initiated by South Africa at the top court. Ground-up support from lawyers in the United Kingdom and United States is also at the heart of separate war crime cases against London and Washington for sponsoring Israeli atrocities in Gaza. ICJ’s interim measure on the case in the coming days could even force pro-Israeli allies such as Canada to give in to rising resistance at home, and redouble its support for the sanctity of the ICJ and its genocide deliberations underway against "Israel".

Similarly, "Israel’s" genocide campaign continues to acquire substantial resistance from the Global South, signaling massive repercussions for a waning disinformation offensive. For instance, the Global South’s approval of international accountability against "Israel" is a key step towards exposing the West’s criminal endorsement of Israeli accounts in Gaza. As a vital collection of nations that has been waiting to take the legal challenge to occupation doors, their involvement is proof that the more the genocide prolongs, the more "Israel" sponsors its own disintegration. "If the case is heard fairly and justly, the ICJ should rule that Israel has violated the Genocide Convention. We are expecting the ICJ to issue an interim measure ordering Israel to stop its attacks on Gaza," said Cuneyt Yuksel, chairman of Türkiye’s Parliamentary Justice Committee this week.

Namibia has also issued a vital statement endorsing South Africa's genocide case against "Israel", while Jakarta and Slovenia have refused to take a backseat on further proceedings against "Israel". 

The latter features valuable emphasis on the occupation’s illegal presence in Palestinian territories. A decision on the matter could compel nations to revisit their indirect association with a pro-genocide regime, and the policies "Israel" leverages to rationalize decades of belligerence in Palestinian territories. “We [Iran] formed a commission ... and will soon bring our case to the ICJ as a third party. South Africa's case was initiated based on the 1948 Genocide Convention. Taking into account its Article 9, Iran has not filed a suit on its own as it would have meant recognizing Israel as a state,” said Mohammad Dehghan, Iran's Vice-President for Legal Affairs.

"Israel" has long-used Western media machinery to attempt to scandalize the Palestinian resistance, further occupation propaganda, and erase critical scrutiny towards its own established genocide. That organized campaign of fiction is set to hit a brick wall as the ICJ case begins to promote convergence of interests among a range of active parties. It is also deliberating South Africa’s demands for emergency imperatives to cease "Israel’s" Gaza offensive and “take all reasonable measures” to prevent genocide. 

Remember, "Israel" has been wrestling to prevent such a culmination of countries at the ICJ, fearing precedents that could expose its campaign of committing genocide without ever admitting it. But as the lasting aftermath of the ICJ case suggests, "Israel" is struggling to secure buy-in for its genocide narrative as scores of nations refuse to identify criminally as bystanders.
