Genocide has been live streamed: Mia Khalifa supports South Africa's case against Israel

Others such as Osman Khalid Butt, Armeena Khan also lent support to the case

South Africa has brought forth a compelling case against Israel at the International Court of Justice in The Hague, accusing the nation of committing genocide against the people of Gaza. The formal accusation was accompanied by a plea to the United Nation's highest court to urgently intervene and order an immediate cessation of Israeli military operations in Gaza. 

This bold move by South Africa has prompted notable stars and influential social media figures to rally in support of the cause, drawing attention to the gravity of the situation and the urgent need for international intervention.

Armeena Khan has taken a powerful stance in solidarity with the people of Palestine amidst South Africa's formal accusation of genocide against Israel at the International Court of Justice. Sharing a haunting image on her social media platforms reminding people to bear witness to the genocide, the star emphasised the significance of remembering and acknowledging the plight of Palestine, irrespective of the outcome at the International Court of Justice. 

"Whatever the outcome at the ICJ. We will tell the story of Palestine. We remember and we will never forget the brave people of Palestine. Massive salute to South Africa. You will be remembered in history books," she stated alongside.

Former adult star turned influencer Mia Khalifa, who has emerged as a prominent voice condemning the genocide in Gaza, quoted a post on the platform X that stated, "South Africa put in work. The hard and irrefutable receipts they’re pulling up." To this, she added, "This genocide has been live streamed, TikTok’d, spelt out, and admitted to from the highest levels of the occupying power. The issue isn’t the evidence, the issue is the corruption all the way up to the level of international law."

Actor Osman Khalid Butt once again demonstrated his commitment to the Palestinian cause. Acknowledging South Africa's efforts in presenting their case against Israel at the International Court of Justice, the actor took to social media to applaud the nation for its meticulously researched arguments. "South Africa," he began, adding the clapping emojis. "What meticulously researched arguments."

South Africa 👏👏👏
What meticulously researched arguments.

Furthermore, he quoted a post that claimed that The Hague hearing is a "show of hypocrisy, antisemitism and shame," by sharing an image sarcastically mixing up "literally anything" with "antisemitism." He penned alongside, "Because it’s impossible to take you seriously."

The Hague hearing is the Dreyfus affair of the 21st century.

A show of hypocrisy, antisemitism and shame.

It was Hamas who on October 7th—for no reason—attacked, burned, murdered and raped Israelis, yet it is Israel which is standing accused.

Shame on those who take part of…

In the inaugural statements presented at the International Court of Justice, legal representatives from South Africa asserted that the ongoing Israeli attacks in Gaza are intricately linked to a long-standing history of Israeli oppression against Palestinians spanning several decades.

During the court proceedings, South African lawyer Adila Hassim emphasised that the court had access to a comprehensive 13-week evidence dossier. This evidence, she contended, unequivocally unveils a consistent pattern of conduct coupled with associated intentions, forming a compelling foundation for what can be deemed as "a plausible claim of genocidal acts." 

The remarks were made before a captivated audience in a densely occupied room at the Peace Palace in The Hague. This pivotal argument underscores South Africa's pursuit of justice for the reported atrocities and seeks to establish a legal basis for addressing the broader issue of Palestinian oppression.
