The United States has filed a declaration of intervention in South Africa's genocide case against Israel at the International Court of Justice (ICJ), explicitly rejecting the allegation that the country is committing genocide in Gaza.

The filing was made on Thursday alongside separate interventions by Namibia, Hungary and Fiji, according to a press release issued by the court on Friday.

All four states submitted declarations under Article 63 of the ICJ statute, which allows countries that are parties to a treaty under dispute to intervene in order to present their interpretation of that treaty.

    Completely open about their part in the genocides and illegal wars. Boot the fuckers out. Conviction to be determined by a jury of peers.

    Yep, the US is a great support for Israel. Maybe they might end up in court themselves.

    Under what right does the US flagrantly refuse to adhere to the ICJ yet file this claim
