Our second week into 2024, and it feels like peace was never given a chance before the wotlessnes settled in. This week, we devote today's episode to the ICJ hearing at The Hague, where South Africa bravely took Israel to court accusing the state of genocidal acts against Palestine.
Note: Dems mentioned that Germany publicly admitted and apologised for acts of genocide against Namibians in 2015, when in fact, it was 2021. Click here for more information.
