South African attorney Tembeka Ngcukaitobi on Thursday used the words of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and other high-ranking officials to make the case to the International Court of Justice—and to the world—that Israel's military is acting with clear genocidal intent in the Gaza Strip. 'Let the prime minister's words speak for themselves,' said Ngcukaitobi, pointing to Netanyahu's November remarks urging Israelis to 'remember what Amalek has done to you.
' 'To constitute genocide, there must be a proven intent on the part of perpetrators to physically destroy a national, ethnical, racial, or religious group,' the U.N. explains in a summary of the Genocide Convention, which Israel stands accused of violating. But Ngcukaitobi argued Thursday that Israeli officials' explicit calls for the decimation of Gaza and its population leave no question that the Israeli government's assault on the Palestinian enclave is genocidal.
