Site launched ahead of IJC hearing South African claims Israel commits genocide; hard-to-watch content collected from terrorists own body cameras and CCTV footage previously presented to limited audiences due to the cruelty seen

The day before the International Court of Justice (ICJ) in the Hague, convening to hear claims that Israel was committing genocide in Gaza, the Prime Minister’s Office launched a new website that includes horrific video of the Hamas terrorists committing their massacre on October 7.

The site titled “Oct. 7, 2023, Hamas Massacre: Documentation of Crimes Against Humanity,” aims to show the atrocities committed by the terrorists at the various locations that came under their attack. The site was created in collaboration with the IDF Spokesperson’s Unit which curated Bearing Witness - a 47 minute completion of raw footage from the massacre screen to limited audiences around the world.

The site is intentionally not accessible from within Israel, preserving the victims’ privacy, and is exclusively for international viewers. The IDF Spokesperson’s Unit emphasized the need to safeguard Israel’s legitimacy globally, especially amid increasing anti-Israel protests by pro-Palestinian groups.

    Am I to understand that this video shows infants, children, journalists, doctors, rescue workers, UN relief workers, and the like perpetrating violence against Israeli civilians? No? Then how the fuck does this justify the genocidal actions of the IDF and settlers, except in the minds of psychopaths?

    Benjy, you’re playing this great bud. Not only did you directly fund the massacre of your own people, now you’re featuring their snuff films for your fantasies.

    The world stands with you somehow.

    You fucking lunatic piece of shit.

    Are we to believe that cops across the world don’t have the discipline to use their body cams but Hamas does? Not just that, leave the evidence behind for Israel to find?

    I think we need to use Occam’s razor here because this seems far too convenient

      Whether or not it’s real, this does not justify any shit they’ve been doing for the past months.

      With your first sentence, I thought you were going in a very different direction with this because the number of “problems” cops across the world have with their bodycams is ridiculous and not indicative at all about how difficult it is to use bodycams, but rather that they at best don’t care to keep them running or at worst don’t want anyone to see what they’d record.

    The atrocities committed by Hamas are horrible and have no excuse, and yet they have absolutely no relevancy in the ICJ case. Israel is being accused of genocide. There is no justifiable motivation for genocide. What Hamas did is completely and absolutely irrelevant here. I reiterate, under international law there is absolutely no justification for genocide.
