Human rights groups are urging the federal government to take "concrete" steps to help prevent the genocide of Palestinians after the International Court of Justice's ruling that South Africa's allegation against Israel is "plausible".

Key points:

  • Anthony Albanese said Australia was not a party to the ICJ process
  • The Australian Centre for International Justice said Mr Albanese's response was an attempt to hide from obligations under international law
  • The Executive Council of Australian Jewry said the ICJ ruling did not impede Israel's campaign to rescue hostages and destroy Hamas

    I love how supporters of Israel pretty much just use the holocaust as an excuse for their attacks on Gaza. Just because genocide was committed against them doesn't give them license to do so on others. We need to stop kissing America's ass and stand up for what's right. We are no better than being a US territory at this point
