Connections Podcast Episode 85 – South Africa Accuses Israel of Genocide at ICJ with Norman Finkelstein part 1, part 2, part 3 Jadariya (furnace). Part 4 is about to begin. This series consists of a discussion prior to the South African oral argument, based on its submissions, and a subsequent analysis after the South African oral argument and the Israeli oral argument, respectively.

Malcolm Shaw defends Israel at the ICJ and opens with the clearly false statement of the EU's Ursula von der Leyen, who claims that Hamas slaughtered a number of infants on October 7th.
However, only one baby died on October 7: Mila Cohen, accidentally shot dead in Berri.
