UK Foreign Secretary David (Lord!) Cameron told TV interviewer Trevor Phillips that Israel has not shown any intent to commit genocide, in support of the Tory government’s refusal to accept the case put forward by South Africa at the International Criminal Court.

This is a false claim.

There are numerous examples. It is bizarre and unrealistic for the Foreign Secretary to claim there are not, because it would indicate that he is unprofessional – he can’t do his job properly.

But – well, see for yourself. Here’s an ‘X’ thread with his denial and then numerous examples disproving it:

So, if Cameron and his prime minister, Rishi Sunak, have used this claim – that Israel has shown no intent to commit genocide – as even part of their justification for opposing South Africa’s genocide case against Israel, then they are mistaken and this statement…

“South Africa’s case is “completely unjustified and wrong.

“The UK government stands by Israel’s clear right to defend itself within the framework of international law,”

… is wrong.
