South Africa has filed a case against Israel in the International Court of Justice, accusing it of genocide in Gaza. The 84 page document offers an absolutely terrifying and overwhelming. Owen Jones goes through that document - and why it is one of the most important things written in our time, and why everyone needs to know what it says - before it's too late.
Democracy Now! Eleven peace activists and one journalist on board the Gaza Freedom Flotilla ship, the "Madleen," were detained by Israeli soldiers as their ship carrying vital humanitarian aid for starving Palestinians approached Gaza. The ship was intercepted by Israeli forces in the middle of the night in international waters. Its supplies were seized and communications jammed. The unarmed activists will likely be transported to Israeli detention or "immediately deported," says Ann Wright, a U.S. military veteran who has participated in four Freedom Flotilla journeys and now serves on the steering committee of the Freedom Flotilla Coalition. She calls on citizens of countries around the world to push for the activists' release and an end to Israel's war on Gaza.
