#SouthAfrica files a case at the #ICJ against Israel for the #GazaGenocide
On the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Day (#MLKDay2024), USPCN and all Palestinians across the world express undying gratitude to the mighty nation of South Africa for its filing at the International Court of Justice (ICJ) to stop the racist, zionist, apartheid state of Israel’s U.S.-backed #GazaGenocide
We also remember the iconic defender of Palestinian rights, Nelson Mandela, whose grandson, Chief Nkosi Zwelivelile “Mandla” Mandela, graced last year’s USPCN / National Alliance Against Racist and Political Repression (NAARPR) U.S. tour commemorating #Nakba75.

Our South African comrades, who voted in November to suspend diplomatic ties with apartheid Israel, easily proved genocidal intent at the ICJ last week, with powerful arguments against Israel that were watched and listened to by the entire world!
Today, we salute the government and people of South Africa, the African National Congress, and South Africa’s legal team for its incredible bravery and brilliant performance and remember the struggles of the martyrs #MLK and Madiba, the latter who defended the Palestinian right to self-determination and liberation as strongly as his own.
Chief Mandla wrote, just recently, “The Legacy of Mandela reminds us that our freedom is incomplete without the freedom of the Palestinians, whilst the Archbishop Desmond Tutu Legacy reminds us that we have a moral duty as human beings to be voices for the oppressed of the world, especially the Palestinian people, because if you are neutral in sides of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor. These two global icons remind us that, as the legal proceedings at the International Court of Justice are underway, there cannot be two standards for the sanctity of life, human dignity, and justice!”
South Africa’s current actions and historical examples of struggle and resistance have paved the way for us to dismantle colonialism, zionism, and apartheid, and to win Palestine liberation and Return — From the River to the Sea!

The U.S. Palestinian Community Network (USPCN) condemns the U.S. and U.K. imperialist attacks on the sovereign Arab state of Yemen. The U.S., U.K., and their allies, including Bahrain, have launched several airstrikes on multiple Yemeni cities in the past few hours. The attacks came after continuous provocation by the U.S. to stop Yemen from aiding the Unified Palestinian Resistance against the U.S.-backed Israeli genocide in Gaza. Yemen has vowed to intercept all Israeli and Israel-bound ships until the war crimes against the people of Palestine have ceased.
These attacks are a clear violation of Yemen’s sovereignty. The U.S. imperialist agenda is being exposed as it strives to destabilize and colonize the region in a continuous effort to support the genocidal, zionist state of Israel.
After the U.S.’ failed attempt to create a coalition to occupy the Bab al-Mandab Strait, it resorted to aerial strikes to further destroy Yemen, a nation recovering from a previously U.S.-funded war waged on them by Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates – a war which left Yemen devastated and facing a horrific, U.S.-manufactured humanitarian crisis. In addition, as collective punishment by the U.S. and its allies, humanitarian aid to Yemen was suspended.
As a number of Arab governments have been normalizing relationships with the apartheid state of Israel, and passively watching the genocide, Yemen stood up strongly and bravely in support of Palestine, preventing the advance of any naval vessels headed towards Israel. Its actions in the Red Sea, along with attacks from the Lebanese Resistance against the north of Israel, have inspired Arabs and other anti-imperialists and Palestine supporters across the world, in addition to providing real material reinforcement to the Unified Palestinian Resistance in Gaza.
#GenocideJoe Biden is not satisfied with funding Israeli war crimes and having the blood of 23,000 Palestinians on his hands. In the wake of an historic day in The Hague, where representatives of the remarkable state of South Africa offered powerful testimony about the Israeli genocide against Gaza to the International Court of Justice, he also approved these airstrikes on Yemen to murder more Arabs and devastate even more of the nation that has made us all so proud.
History has proven over and over that, wherever the U.S. military advances, destabilization and carnage is left behind, as we experienced in Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, Libya, Lebanon, and dozens of other countries across the world. The U.S. and its imperialist warmongering allies must keep their bloody hands out of our countries.
