First paragraph:

Member of the Knesset Ofer Cassif is being targeted for removal from the legislative body Monday a day after the Israeli lawmaker said he would back South Africa’s genocide case at the International Court of Justice.

Ah yes, a clear example of Israel being that bastion of democracy it claims to be.

That doesn’t make any sense.

South Africa is bringing a case to the ICJ accusing Israel of genocide. This politician is saying he would support that case, and he is being targeted for that position.

He is not saying he would support South Africa in defending against accusations of genocide.

The headline is confusing, especially because of South Africa’s history.

This is called moral courage.

As an atheist, I will pray for this man.
