On December 29, 2023, South Africa invoked the Genocide Convention against Israel at the International Court of Justice.

To some people, this came out of the blue.

Some are aware there was a concerted effort to that end through the fall of 2023 which involved myself and others.

Few are aware that the story goes back further.

And tragically few are aware that there are clear steps that can be taken now to give it force which the US government has insidiously undermined.

In 2000, Prof. Francis Boyle published the piece “Palestine Should Sue Israel for Genocide before the International Court of Justice.”

Boyle reiterated such calls periodically, particularly when Israel would decimate Gaza.
