 I'm Medea Benjamin with the Peace Group Code Pink and I'm so excited with the news that South Africa has just initiated legal proceedings before the International Court of Justice accusing Israel of genocide and asking the court to order Israel to immediately halt its attacks. According to the UN, the crime of genocide is defined as acts perpetrated to bring about the physical destruction in whole or in part of a national, ethnic, racial, or religious group. In its 84-page report, South Africa details precisely how Israel is doing just that. We can't let South Africa be the only country taking this moral stand. Let's get other countries to join the lawsuit. A number of heads of state have already characterized Israel's actions as genocide. Sign the petition below. We must stop this genocide now.
