World conscience: Palestine and South Africa

South Africa has called on the International Court of Justice to investigate acts of genocide committed by Israel against the Palestinian people.

It's actually a tremendous symbol: in 1991, people around the world stood up to help the people of South Africa end apartheid. Today, it is South Africa which comes to the aid of the world to revive its conscience and demand an end to the suffering of the Palestinian people.

The peoples of the world have seen first-hand what is happening today in Palestine, which constitutes "the most devastating campaigns in modern history 

", as reported today by the Wall Street Journal: 29,000 bombs dropped, more than 21,000 civilians killed, 75% of hospitals, 70% of schools and 80% of Universities, 103 mosques, 3 churches including one dating from the 11th century and 70% of the houses all destroyed. 69 journalists were killed and more than 28 artists, intellectuals and writers were killed.

The peoples of the world rose unanimously to demonstrate their solidarity with the Palestinian people through huge demonstrations on five continents. The majority of Western governments have maintained a complicit silence. Only one government – the United States – supports this genocide.

Peoples around the world need to exert their pressure on the government of the United States in order to listen to the voice of people around the world and its own people and help put an end to the apartheid and occupation in Palestine. In any case, there is no doubt that the voice of the people will be heard and justice will prevail.

Justice on the Side of the Palestinian People

July 19, 2024, marks a monumental victory for justice, which has clearly sided with the rights of the Palestinian people. The International Court of Justice (ICJ) issued an opinion declaring that Israel's occupation of Palestinian territories is illegal. The court demanded that all states take action to end this occupation and that Israel pay reparations to Palestinians who have suffered due to this situation. It is important to note that this opinion follows a recent decision by the Court requiring Israel to cease any actions in Gaza that could constitute genocide. This ICJ opinion will strengthen international pressure on Israel. Although it will take time, just like the end of apartheid in South Africa, there is no doubt that justice will prevail and that Palestinians will regain their right to self-determination.

France: results and challenges

The New Popular Front won 182 seats in the snap parliamentary elections, making it the largest group in the French National Assembly, which has 577 seats. This is obviously a reason for immense satisfaction and relief for millions of French people who were enduring the anti-social policies of Macron's regime. It is also an open opportunity for all those who want real change. That said, and without minimizing the results obtained, it must be remembered that the new Popular Front only secured 31.2% of the seats in the National Assembly and that the percentage of French people who voted for it represents only 25.1% of the votes. In comparison, the Popular Front of 1936 obtained 63.5% of the seats and 57.8% of the French voted for it! This means that the New Popular Front is far behind the 1936 performance. But all this does not take away from the immense success achieved this week. It simply means that the New Front has enormous task to perform to convince more French people of the ne...

"Europe and the United States have decided to earmark 4% of all funds expended in the fight against Covid-19 to the eradication of malaria, AIDS and tuberculosis, diseases that kill millions of people every year." I was sitting in front of my TV watching the news. I could barely believe my ears. As the report continued, I turned up the sound so as not to miss a word. The United States has lifted sanctions against Cuba and Venezuela and sent 10 planes with medical equipment and personnel to assist those countries in their fight against Covid-19. The leaders of North and South Korea have signed an historic agreement to reunite their country, henceforth known as the Republic of Korea. The African and European Unions have signed a free trade agreement, under which goods and citizens may circulate freely from one continent to the other. The stock exchanges are now publishing daily figures on the profits of major companies, broken down by country, to serve as t...
