The vaccine drive [in Gaza] has been more successful than expected, a W.H.O. official says.
In its first two days, the campaign to vaccinate 640,000 Gazan children has been more successful than expected, said Rik Peeperkorn, a W.H.O. representative.
The World Health Organization said on Tuesday that the campaign to vaccinate 640,000 children in Gaza against polio had so far been more successful than expected as families flocked to receive the treatment.
Teams of health workers delivered the two-drop oral vaccine to 161,030 children in the first two days of the roughly 10-day operation, surpassing the organization’s goal of 150,000 for the first phase of the campaign in central Gaza.
“It’s going well,” Rik Peeperkorn, the organization’s representative for the Palestinian territories, told reporters by video link from Gaza on Tuesday, describing an “almost festive” atmosphere as families went to designated sites to get their children vaccinated.
You're viewing a single thread.
Wait wait wait... Hamas didn't try any BS and things went smoothly. What nefarious plot will Israel be accused of with this?
A hallmark of which is, of course, peacefully allowing for the 'genocidees' to get vaccinations that prolong and improve the quality of their life.
First sentence: "accusations."
Stringing together a bunch of unverified Al Jazeera articles doesn't make a genocide.
First sentence actually: "Experts, governments, United Nations agencies, and non-governmental organisations have accused Israel of carrying out a genocide against the Palestinian people during its invasion and bombing in the Gaza Strip during the ongoing Israel–Hamas war."
You know who else was found to have committed genocide through accusations by international organizations, NGOs, governments, and experts? Literally every government that's committed genocide in the history of fucking anything ever because there's not a god of genocide that descends from on high to inform humanity that a genocide has been committed. Like I know this genocide-denying argument is being made in bad faith, but can you at least have some dignity about it and make it seem like you're at least trying to be intelligent?
Actually the UN asserted jurisdiction over the parties and they will have an evidentiary trial on the merits. If all South Africa has at trial is a bunch of fundraising solicitations from NGOs, and "reports" from state media of Qatar and Bahrain, they might be compelled to find against South Africa.
Go read the case of Bosnia and Herzegovina v. Serbia and Montenegro. Sorry international law is more complex than you feel it should be.
And your source is UN Watch, a lobbying group tied to the Israeli government. In the BBC interview, she clearly gets into pedantic legalese about how "the court determined that the Palestinians had a plausible right to be protected from genocide", and the fact that UN Watch is taking that as some kind of pedantic "own" is pretty telling. What's especially curious to me is that this video was posted in April, but you fail to acknowledge that the ICJ a month later ordered Israel to halt its offensive in this case.
The State of Israel shall, in conformity with its obligations under the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide, and in view of the worsening conditions of life faced by civilians in the Rafah Governorate:
Immediately halt its military offensive, and any other action in the Rafah Governorate, which may inflict on the Palestinian group in Gaza conditions of life that could bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part.
Your entire comment history is genocide denial; go deny it somewhere else.
Does the source make the video any less valid? Joan Donoghue speaks for herself.
Also, no genocide. There is a war, started by Palestine. Collateral damage sucks, and that is why most normal countries don't start wars.
The ICJ – which Donoghue is a part of – speaks for itself, and the ICJ tells Israel to stop their genocidal invasion. Israel as a rogue state run by a far-right government aided by its corrupt supreme court refuses to cooperate with this order and continues to commit genocide.
The ICJ has said no such thing. You are making up antisemitic bullshit. While I don't care for Bibi and his regime, Hamas and all Islamists must be eradicated.
The quote above is literally a verbatim ruling by the ICJ telling Israel to "immediately halt its military offensive" because it could "bring about the destruction in whole or in part" of the Palestinian people living in Gaza. I'm sorry that basic English literacy is antisemitic to you.
Imagine saying in a public forum that all people of a certain religion, even though most of them do not commit acts of violence against others in such a manner and are children, must be "eradicated" like they're some kind of pest and thinking you are on the right side of the argument.
That's just indiscriminate hatred right there. It's crazy how you consistently barely ever get a positive rated comment in multiple forums yet persist without putting your hand on your consciousness and thinking, what if i am wrong.
Israel*
Israel is the one bombing and shooting the UN in Gaza.
