On 11 and 12 January 2024 the International Court of Justice (ICJ) held public hearings on the request for the indication of provisional measures submitted by South Africa in the case concerning Application of the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide in the Gaza Strip (South Africa v. Israel). On 11 January, South Africa presented its case and on 12 January, Israel staged its defence.

As part of its defence, the Israeli team presented visual material, including maps, videos, images, and annotated diagrams. We have sourced the elements of evidence from the recording of the Israeli legal team’s presentation at the ICJ as found on the United Nations website.

We found eight instances where the Israeli legal team misrepresented the visual evidence they cited, through a combination of incorrect annotations and labelling, and misleading verbal descriptions. These instances are presented and explained in this report.

Our study also reveals that the Israeli legal team presented single instances of alleged Palestinian military use of civilian infrastructure as blanket justifications for the systematic and widespread attacks on civilians, shelters, schools, and hospitals.

      This magazine is for news and news-like content, not for journal articles or special reports from agencies/courts.

        The way you describe it I would say this post is in the news-like content.

        Apart from that, in the description of this magazine it says otherwise and does not limit its content the way you describe it. It doesn’t mention what the source should be, talks about the content. I will use only the part I find relevant to this conversation:

        @politics on kbin.social is a magazine to share and discuss current events, analysis or other informative content related to politics both domestic and international.

        So what you say just doesn’t make any sense according to this community’s description, rules and guidelines. Unless I’m missing something? If you have something to add, I am all ears.

        [edit: maybe this is relevant as well?]
