#ICJ4Israel: Jeremy Corbyn to join South Africa’s delegation accusing Israel of genocide
Corbyn and Israel: some might say his decision to join the South African delegation accusing that country of genocide is courageous, considering the years in which he was falsely accused of anti-Semitism.
Jeremy Corbyn is to join the South African government’s delegation accusing Israel of genocide at the International Court of Justice tomorrow (January 11).
According to AP News,
South Africa’s Justice Ministry said Corbyn was one of a number of “senior political figures from progressive political parties and movements across the globe” who will join the South African delegation at the Hague in the Netherlands for two days of preliminary hearings which begin on Thursday.
South Africa brought the case against Israel last month, accusing it of intending “to destroy Palestinians in Gaza,” and asked the U.N.’s top court to order Israel to halt its attacks. Israel rejected South Africa’s allegations of genocide “with disgust” and said it will defend itself at the court.
Corbyn was the only one of those foreign political figures in its delegation named by the South African government.
He will go to The Hague fresh from shaming the UK’s Tory government in the House of Commons earlier this week:
"Cannot the government understand the anger around the world when they watch this in real-time happening?"

Of course, the UK’s Tory government refused to support South Africa.
Despite the concerns mentioned by Foreign Secretary David Cameron (“Lord”!), Rishi Sunak’s gang of bandits fully support the genocide – probably because they think it will generate money for them. Sadly, Keir Starmer’s Labour Party also supports it, probably for the same reason.
The hearings begin at 9am (UK time), and you can watch them using the link below:

The Conservatives have not always been opposed to South Africa!
Jeremy Corbyn is one of a tiny minority of MPs who consistently demonstrate they are ethical and ‘not in politics for personal gain!’ Unlike the greedy criminal fascist tory gang currently residing in Parliament! Oh and not forgetting that Starmer fellow who is another fascist tory pretending to be ‘a labour boy!’
Corbyn is a deeply principled man and probably the best PM we never had. That said he was very successfully smeared by his own party as being deeply anti-semitic. Something that’s absolutely untrue in my opinion.
Given this his participation in this process is a gift to the extremists currently running Israel’s government and anyone outside the country who supports them. I expect much to be made of this and for the successful smear on him to be used to smear anyone else he comes into contact with.
I really do feel for Jeremy Corbyn. He has done nothing wrong and those who smeared him did their level best to ensure Labour did badly in the GE. Acting against the party in this way (in any party) should see them expelled..
