The Minister of Foreign Affairs Israeli said: “Today we witnessed one of the greatest displays of hypocrisy in history and a series of unfounded and false statements.”
It was precisely the leaders of the terrorist organization who said it.
Hamas representatives in court and South African lawyers have deliberately ignored that Hamas has been using the civilian population of Gaza as shield human and, going against all international conventions and even common sense, operates and has operated from hospitals, schools, UN shelters, Mosques and Churches with the intent to endanger the lives of residents of the Gaza Strip.
Hamas representatives in court and South African lawyers have willfully ignored that 136 kidnapped or their corpses, are still in the hands of terrorists and have ignored, and will continue to do so, that representatives of the Red Cross have not been given access to those who need medical attention because they are injured or ill.
South Africa can continue to scream and theHague judge, since all people who have a minimum of intellectual honesty know that it is a sentence written before the trial even begins.
In any case, regardless of the official papers, nothing will change because it State of Israel will continue to protect its citizens according to international law and distinguish between Hamas terrorists and the civilian population as it has always done.
The State of Israel will continue to work towards the release of all abductees and to achieve the elimination of Hamas, a terrorist racist and anti-Semite who in his art calls for the destruction of the State of Israel and the murder of the Jews.
The State of Israel will do all this regardless of a sentence that will be another indelible stain on the reputation of what should have been a house of justice but which instead has been transformed into a sort of cross-eyed, short-sighted and dyslexic political tribunal, where one proceeds only in a certain direction and you never go in the other.
But that’s not all, because the air blowing in those parts is toxic to the point that the campaign conceived by the National Directorate of Israeli Public Diplomacy through the Government Advertising Agency, which involved the display of outdoor advertising billboards in all the Netherlands to raise awareness of the 136 hostages who remain in captivity after almost 100 days, And was boycotted at the last minute.
The main message conveyed by the billboards was only to remind that 136 Israeli hostages are held captive by Hamas and cannot testify today at Tribunal in The Hague. That these are victims and witnesses of the acts of genocide and crimes against humanity committed by Hamas, and the war crimes that Hamas commits every day while they are held hostage.
This was a campaign that was expected to be launched as part of several information and public diplomacy initiatives surrounding the hearing of the petition against Israel at the International Court of Justice in The Hague, the Netherlands.
Contact had been made with more than 10 different billboard companies in the area of The Hague, Rotterdam and Schiphol Airport and while working with one of the billboard companies, the design language and message that would appear on the billboard had been approved. When the first billboard was due to go up, the billboard company sent a message to the organizers that the advertising had been cancelled.
The campaign was expected to be launched as part of several information and information initiatives public diplomacy relating to the hearing of the petition against Israel at the International Court of Justice in The Hague, the Netherlands. But the voice of those who are still illegally detained in Gaza in inhumane conditions she was somehow silenced. The shame of this act will fall on those who were guilty of an act that to call simple anti-Semitism is now an understatement.
In this regard Moriya Shalom, CEO of the government advertising agency declared: “The attempts to silence the voices of the hostages they will receive a strong response. The truth will prevail, but even if it does not, the State of Israel will continue to defend the justice of its path and, even if few realize it, also in the rest of the world. We are conducting an unprecedented international information campaign. They won’t be able to silence us.”
This last minute refusalremember that the billboards were paid for and a large advance had already been paid, is a serious affront to freedom of expression and Israel’s right to speak out loudly against the terrorism from which its citizens suffer.
This is a crude attempt to silence the voices of the Israeli hostages, who were kidnapped during the murderous terrorist attack by Hamas, and to carry out such a move you really have to have a dirty soul, or not at all. .
