The Spin
Pro-Israel narrative
This, like all other applications submitted by South Africa, is neither grounded in fact nor law. It's morally repugnant and is an abuse of the Genocide Convention itself. The court should not be imposing any additional measures.
Pro-Palestine narrative
Israel's response to the ICJ comes at a time when many are describing the conditions there as famine. Irrespective of this latest application, the court has already ordered Israel to increase the flow of aid and decrease the suffering of Palestinian civilians. That, plainly speaking, has not been the case.
