Nicaragua vs. Germany
Nicaragua accuses Germany using the Genocide Convention at the International Court of Justice for facilitating Israel's genocide against the Palestinians
The end statement by Carlos José Argüello Gómez about a half hour before the end was probably the best chunk. At UN. Via AP:

See news releases I wrote on Friday:
Monday: Nicaragua v Germany at the World Court on Israel and Genocide Convention
And one on Monday:
Challenges to the U.S. and Germany for “Facilitating Genocide”
The New York Times on Monday claimed: “The court has not yet accepted the case, but it is obliged to react quickly to requests for emergency measures, as in this case.” Prof. Francis Boyle (featured on the IPA news release from Friday) commented: “This is preposterous. Of course the court accepted the case. That is why the court previously issued an order for the hearings today and tomorrow. Nicaragua has basically won just by getting the hearing of its claims today in front of the court and in front of the entire world. A very powerful case against Germany for aiding and abetting Israeli genocide against the Palestinians as well as implicating the U.S. for collaborating with Germany.” Boyle noted that exactly 40 years ago, Nicaragua filed suit against the U.S. at the ICJ for its illegal war against Nicaragua. Boyle added that Nicaragua won that lawsuit and that the ICJ ruling against the U.S. was useful in getting charges dismissed against people engaging in civil resistance against the U.S. policy. See his book, Defending Civil Resistance Under International Law.
I watched the proceedings today. The points were there, but not made as clearly and directly as I would have liked. I wish they had had the outstanding, and articulate team the South African's brought in their case. But, regardless, I thank them for doing this.
Down with the ZioBeasts & the supporters of their genocide. The Germans should know better but they’re willing to blame the so-called Holocaust on the Palestinians as one African journalist noted
