The ideology that is nazi (no initial cap on that) is not the German Nazi (initial-cap) Party which introduced the ideology as running a nation, but is instead the ideology itself, simply what is now the ideology of all Western — i.e., U.S.-and-allied — Governments, all of which now are run on this racist-fascist imperialistic supremacist ideology. It’s a might-makes-right ideology, which the U.S. regime calls “the rules-based international order” in which those “rules” are supposed to come not from the U.N.’s international laws but instead from the U.S. regime itself, to be whatever that regime, which has the nerve to call itself “democratic,” says that they are. And one of these “rules” is that what Israel now is doing in Gaza is NOT to be called a “genocide” to get rid of the Gazans, nor even an “ethnic cleansing” of them if some of its victims will become expelled instead of all Gazans being mass-murdered (exterminated, genocided), either by bombing them or starving them to death.

On January 4th, the U.S. White House National Security Council spokesman John Kirby condemned South Africa’s 84-page case at the International Court of Justice which charges that Israel is indeed practicing now genocide or else ethnic cleansing in Gaza. Kirby said “We find this submission meritless, counterproductive, and completely without any basis in fact whatsoever.”
A leading international lawyer, Robert Herbst, had already headlined on January 2nd “South Africa Presents a Devastating Case Against Israel Exposing Genocidal Acts in Horrifying Detail”, and he opened:
South Africa’s 84 page long Application to the International Court of Justice to begin proceedings against Israel for its genocide in Gaza is a devastating document laying out Israel’s genocidal acts and statements in horrifying detail.
The following article by ICAHD USA co-chair Robert Herbst was first published in Mondoweiss on 31 December 2023.
On Thursday, December 28, South Africa filed an Application Instituting Proceedings at the International Court of Justice to commence proceedings in a legal forum against Israel for its genocide in Gaza, and to press for “provisional measures” – a preliminary order requiring the Israel Government and military to cease their genocidal acts in Gaza pending a full hearing by the court.
South Africa’s Application is 84 pages long and devastating – to the State of Israel, to its Jewish political and military leaders and personnel committing the genocidal acts and speaking openly of their genocidal intent, to those in Israel, America, and Europe standing so firmly in support of them, and to the Jewish people in whose name Israel purports to act.
So, as-of January 4th, when the U.S. White House dismissed that case as “meritless,” that list of co-conspirators includes also U.S. President Joe Biden. Kirby (unlike Herbst) presented no case regarding South Africa’s case, but merely his allegation that it was “meritless.” When presenting an opinion, nazis don’t need to provide relevant facts, and so he offered none. The White House repeated that January 4th statement on January 20th, when Mr. Kirby said “I want to say again that we don’t have any indications that there’s deliberate — deliberate efforts to commit war crimes by the Israeli Defense Forces.” And, yet again, none of the White House press corps challenged him on that — they’re all stenographers to power, they’re all propagandists for the Government, none of them is an authentic journalist. In fact, both times when he made that stunning lie (on Jan. 4th and then again on Jan. 20th), none of the press-members did a follow-up question on it, such as “but members of Netanyahu’s Cabinet have been publicly saying that — well here is how South Africa put it in their 84-pager to the ICJ:
The Israeli Prime Minister also returned to the theme in his ‘Christmas message’, stating: “we’re facing monsters, monsters who murdered children in front of their parents . . . This is a battle not only of Israel against these barbarians, it’s a battle of civilization against barbarism”.445 On 28 October 2023, as Israeli forces prepared their land invasion of Gaza, the Prime Minister invoked the Biblical story of the total destruction of Amalek by the Israelites, stating: “you must remember what Amalek has done to you, says our Holy Bible. And we do remember”.446 The Prime Minister referred again to Amalek in the letter sent on 3 November 2023 to Israeli soldiers and officers.447 The relevant biblical passage reads as follows: “Now go, attack Amalek, and proscribe all that belongs to him. Spare no one, but kill alike men and women, infants and sucklings, oxens and sheep, camels and asses”.448
