Unable to counter the hard evidence presented by South Africa, Germany, + now Canada (and no doubt with other vassals of US hegemony in tow), instead resort to accusing South Africa of insubordination! An extraordinary moment of truth, a naked display of power relations is thus disclosed; intended to chasten the ICJ + the world watching on into complying with orthodox reality – an emperor’s new clothes of things as they are. It signals too, an increasing desperation on the part of the partners of apartheid Israel, showing-up things as they truly are in a world of might is right, i.e., where conventional meaning routinely works in the service of power. But that cover is now blown. Naked truth is out in the open. It goes by the name of genocide.
