ICJ hearings!

 I hope you are following the presentations at the International Court of Justice [ICJ] on South Africa’s request for immediate action on the genocide case.  Not only is this a vitally-important case, but the depth of South Africa’s presentation was impressive — including Blinne Ní Ghrálaigh, the counsel from Ireland who’s on their team. Israel’s ‘he hit me first’ response, not so impressive.

Here are some links that I found informative:
