Germany points out that it's been offering humanitarian aid to Palestine, not only through UNRWA but also the World Food Programme and other organizations.

Germany keeps going on about 'israel's' (supposed) "right to exist", which supposedly is "internationally recognised".

Except that there's reasonable countries all over the world that don't recognise the occupation as legitimate.

Recall the Khartoum Resolution: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Khartoum_Resolution

Germany rejects Nicaragua's accusations.

"Germany has learnt from its past".

Yeah right.

Says that because it's committed genocide in the past, supporting the existence and persistence of 'israel' is now Germany's duty.

Guess what? Germany has questions to answer for complicity in genocide … AGAIN.

Today is the second day of Nicaragua’s case against Germany at the International Court of Justice (ICJ) in The Hague, for Germany’s financial, military and political support for the zionist genocide in Gaza.

This morning Germany will give oral arguments.

Germany admits that it's approved over 250 million euros worth of war weapons and military equipment to 'israel' since October 2023.

Nicaragua draw the court's attention to the fact that not only is the situation in Gaza most dire --- also in other areas of occupied Palestine violence, racism and apartheid are increasing

And Germany is offering support for all of that

"Nicaragua is hopeful that states, particularly with a history such as Germany's, would heed the decisions of this court [= International Court of Justice]", says Nicaragua.

Another speaker on behalf of Nicaragua takes the floor:

"The nightmare [in Gaza] is increasing, every single day."

#ICJ #Nicaragua #Germany #genocide #complicity #Palestine #Gaza


"Nothing justified the collective punishment of the Palestinian people".

The world can't turn away, says Nicaragua

Germany seems to ignore that Palestinian people have the right to self-determination, including the right to take up arms against an occupation, according to the UN charter, says Nicaragua.

#ICJ #Nicaragua #Germany #genocide #complicity #Palestine #Gaza


Nicaragua:

Purely based on the say-so of Israel, Germany cut off funding to UNRWA. Surprisingly, this happened exactly the day after your [i.e. the ICJ's] order on the 26th of January [ruling that Israel is plausibly committing genocide in Gaza]

#ICJ #Nicaragua #Germany #genocide #complicity #Palestine #Gaza


Even if genocide were found not to have been committed, which Nicaragua does not accept, then still selling arms plausibly using in genocide and cutting off humanitarian aid to a people experiencing famine would violate Germany's obligations under international law

Nicaragua mentions the UK legal professionals' recent letter to the UK government, warning them of UK's complicity in genocide: https://lawyersletter.uk/

Nicaragua explains how this current case against Germany is different from the case brought by South Africa against 'Israel', which Nicaragua also supports

It's because different laws are being violated, different obligations being unfulfilled

Nicaragua: Germany says it has an obligation toward 'Israel', because of what Germany has done in the second world war.

But Nicaragua points out that any such past acts couldn't ever justify supporting a state committing genocide

Moreover, it also notes that German companies are profiting off the genocide by selling arms to 'Israel'

#ICJ #Nicaragua #Germany #genocide #complicity #Palestine #Gaza


Nicaragua filed an application at the International Court of Justice (ICJ) instituting proceedings against Germany.

Why? Nicaragua alleges that Germany is violating:

  • its obligations under the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide
  • the Geneva Conventions of 1949 and their Additional Protocols
  • “intransgressible principles of international humanitarian law”, and
  • other norms of general international law

... in relation to the Occupied Palestinian Territory, particularly the Gaza Strip.

Oral hearing will start today.

You can watch the proceedings here, starting at 10.00 CEST: https://webtv.un.org/en/asset/k1q/k1qoqif0lq

Nicaragua turns to the occupations supposed 'right to self-defence'.

"Surprisingly, Germany doesn't seem to differentiate between self-defence and genocide"

"Another initiator of the German civil servants’ statement, a trained jurist, expressed fear not just of losing employment for being involved in the statement, but of prosecution and even imprisonment, citing the “utterly lawless situation” in the country post-October 7 where people are arrested, sometimes brutally, with spurious legal justifications. “There are no rights in Germany at the moment when it comes to Palestine,” the initiator said"

#Germany #Israel #Palestine #Gaza


A group of hundreds of German civil servants have written to Chancellor Olaf Scholz and other senior ministers calling on the government to “cease arm deliveries to the Israeli government with immediate effect”.
They sent the statement via email to ministries last week, with the disclaimer that “due to the sensitive content and the excessive state repression that criticism in this area is met with, we want to remain anonymous”.

Germany uses anti-hate crime laws to silence free speech of Jews and Palestinians

‘We Jews are just arrested; Palestinians are beaten’: Protesters in Germany

"German-Israeli activist Iris Hefets was arrested for the first time in Berlin just a few weeks after the start of Israel’s war on Gaza last October – for holding a sign which read, “As a Jew and Israeli, stop the genocide in Gaza”. [...]

She was arrested a second time on November 10 for “inciting racial hatred” when she held the same sign – her charge was recently dropped. Her third arrest was for a sign warning that “Zionism kills”. Again, she was released soon after but, this time, her sign was confiscated."
