South Africa this week will go before the International Court of Justice (ICJ) at the Hague and lay out its case of genocide against Israel for its brutal war against Palestinians. With more than 23,000 dead (nearly two-thirds of whom are women and children), countless others injured or maimed, and so many with mental scars that will never heal, this genocide case could prove hugely consequential—and historic. In this episode, Francis Boyle, a human rights attorney and the first lawyer to win orders under the Genocide Convention of 1948 from the ICJ, breaks down the complaint and explains why he believes South Africa will win. A victory in this case would also mean the US is complicit in genocide—striking a huge blow to the Biden administration and the veneer that the US is a beacon of human rights.
