The West's Enemies Are Using the International System to Undermine Our Allies
(Telegraph-UK) Editorial - On the eve of Holocaust Memorial Day, the International Court of Justice (ICJ) failed to throw out an absurd case brought last year by South Africa accusing Israel of "genocide." When the case was first filed, warnings were rightly issued that it represented a clear example of "lawfare" - the exploitation of legal processes and institutions in order to advance political and propaganda aims against Israel. The 1948 Genocide Convention identifies "genocide" as the "intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group." Israel's stated intention is only to destroy the Hamas terrorist group in Gaza. Britain must show that it still stands with Israel.
