“The State of Israel will appear before the ICJ at The Hague to dispel South Africa’s absurd blood libel, government spokesman Eylon Levy told reporters in Jerusalem on Tuesday.
In speaking with reporters, Levy said, “History will judge South Africa for abetting the modern heirs of the Nazis. We assure South Africa’s leaders: history will judge you, and it will judge you without mercy."
Hamas committed 'act of genocide perpetrated with Nazi-like cruelty'
He explained that it was Hamas that was guilty of genocide for leading an October 7 attack on Israel, in which over 1,200 people were killed and some 250 were taken hostage.
Over 70% of those killed were civilians, including women and children. Many of the victims were tortured, raped, burned alive or dismembered.
Levy said that Hamas had “a clear mission to murder as many Israelis as possible—as sadistically as possible. It was an act of genocide perpetrated with Nazi-like cruelty and Nazi-like efficiency in the service of a Nazi-like ideology.
“The only reason Hamas didn't succeed in committing further genocide is because our security forces stopped them,” he stated.
Hamas has said that if given the opportunity, it would execute other October 7 massacres, Levy said. The IDF’s military campaign in Gaza to destroy Hamas is designed to prevent a genocide and is not perpetuating one against the Palestinians, he said.
He noted that South Africa had expressed sympathy with Hamas already on October 8, just one day after the attack.“History will judge South Africa for abetting the modern heirs of the Nazis.
We assure South Africa’s leaders: history will judge you, and it will judge you without mercy,” he added.
South Africa turned to the court, however, only on December 29, when Israel’s military campaign to destroy Hamas close to three months after the start of the war. Hamas has asserted that close to 22,000 Palestinians have been killed in war-related violence. Israel has claimed that some 8,000 of those fatalities are combatants.
