Commentary for a Sunday: Senator Fetterman Takes on South Africa and the International Court of Justice

The UN’s International Court of Criminal Justice handed down a discombobulated ruling Friday.

The court upheld Israel’s right to self-defense while at the same time leaving the door open to accusing Israel of genocide.

This from redstate,com.

Further, the court ordered Israel to refrain from any acts that could fall under the Genocide Convention and to ensure its troops commit no genocidal acts in Gaza.

The judges said:

At least some of the acts and omissions alleged by South Africa to have been committed by Israel in Gaza appear to be capable of falling within the provisions of the (Genocide) Convention.

The ruling required Israel to prevent and punish any public incitements to commit genocide against Palestinians in Gaza and to preserve evidence related to any allegations of genocide there.

The court said:

Israel must also take measures to improve the humanitarian situation for Palestinian civilians in the enclave.

However, the court did not demand an immediate ceasefire in Gaza, something that Israel says would allow Hamas militants to regroup and to launch new attacks on the country.

The court also said it was:

Gravely concerned about the fate of hostages held in Gaza and called on Hamas and other armed groups to immediately release them without conditions.

What makes this issue all the more ridiculous is that South Africa brought the action before the ICJ.

South Africa has been engaged in its own

slow-motion genocide of South African Whites

since majority rule became the thing in 1994.

The number of White South Africans has declined by about a million because of the political climate. Whites are disproportionately represented in the workforce and are the highest-earning demographic, even in a very hostile environment.

The quasi-official policy of the government seems to be a soft ethnic cleansing rather than any attempt at reconciliation with the people who founded the country.

Though people joke about Elon Musk being “African American,” Dutch Boers are every bit as native to South Africa as the Zulus.

Both took over the country after slaughtering the aboriginal occupants, the Hottentots.

The situation in the hinterlands is worse, where the government seems to tolerate the murder of White farmers as a way of driving them off their land and out of the country.

While statistics show there are about 400 attacks on White farms and at least 40 murders of White farmers each year, the government’s position is ‘no big deal, there were 20,000 murders in South Africa.’

This misses the point that these attacks and killings are the result of racial targeting and an unofficial policy of ethnic cleansing.

Here is the leader of one of South Africa’s major political parties singing the timeless classic, “Kill the Boer, the farmer.”

While this is being defended in South Africa and on the left as a “cultural” thing, a shout-out to the years of struggle, the fact is that it is a blatant, not a metaphorical, call to violence. We hanged Julius Streicher at Nuremberg for the same kind of crap.

Shortly after South Africa made its complaint to the ICJ, Pennsylvania’s Senator Fetterman offered his take on the issue.

Who are they really fighting? In a group of cowards, they hide in tunnels. They hide behind civilians. They attack, kill, and mutilate children and women, and they do that…Stop talking about proportion on that.

They shot their best shot on October 7. And they would’ve taken more lives if they could have, but they couldn’t do it. And now, also let’s talk about that.

Now we’re talking about genocide. And now South Africa, now, is bringing that kind of…to trial.

Maybe South Africa, maybe you ought to sit this one out when you’re talking about criticizing anybody. Sit it out.

Love him or hate him, Fetterman has proven himself to be a breath of fresh air in a Senate that has gone sour with the likes of the Turtle and the self-aggrandizing Jew.

He does seem to be an odd duck with his everyday dress-down wardrobe and quirky mannerisms, however, he has shown amazing courage in standing fast on border security and in defending Israel’s right to exist.

Calling out the chaotic and racist government of South Africa for its abuse of the ICJ puts him in a category all of his own in the Senate this year.
