UN, PLO & Hashemite Kingdom of Palestine bury South Africa at ICJ

By David Singer - posted Friday, 19 January 2024


Article 1. Palestine is the homeland of the Arab Palestinian people; it is an indivisible part of the Arab homeland, and the Palestinian people are an integral part of the Arab nation.

Article 5. The Palestinians are those Arab nationals who, until 1947, normally resided in Palestine regardless of whether they were evicted from it or have stayed there. Anyone born, after that date, of a Palestinian father - whether inside Palestine or outside it - is also a Palestinian.

Article 6. The Jews who had normally resided in Palestine until the beginning of the Zionist invasion will be considered Palestinians."

These provisions remain unamended in 2024.

The 2022 Hashemite Kingdom of Palestine solution (HKOPS) drives the final nail into South Africa's coffin:

Jordanians and Palestinians are as similar as any people can be. They are Sunni Arabs from the same neighborhood. Merging them will not create any long-term ethnic or sectarian fault lines

The ICJ should determine South Africa's case fails because it does not meet the requirements stipulated by Article II of the Genocide Convention.
