The Grayzone Interviews Carlos Argüello Gómez on Nicaragua’s Case at the International Court of Justice against German Support for Israeli Genocide (Video and transcript.)Nicaraguan lawyer and diplomat Carlos Argüello Gómez speaks to The Grayzone about his case against the German government for its facilitation of Israel’s genocide in the besieged Gaza Strip, its potentially historic implications, and its similarities to the successful case he argued for the ICJ in 1986 which brought massive penalties against the United States for its illegal dirty war on Nicaragua at the time.

Truthout.com (Marjorie Cohn): Nicaragua Takes Germany to the World Court for Facilitating Israel’s Genocide Nicaragua charged that, “Germany has provided political, financial and military support to Israel fully aware at the time of authorization that the military equipment would be used in the commission of great breaches of international law,” adding, “The military equipment provided by Germany enabling Israel to perpetrate genocidal acts and other atrocities, included supplies to the front line and warehouses, and assurances of future supplies such as ammunition, technology and diverse components necessary for the Israeli military.”

Changing Times: Nicaragua tells International Court of Justice that Germany has facilitated genocide in Gaza Another good article to post around that presents the fundamentals of the case.

Interview with Dr Ghassan Abu Sittah after he was detained entering Germany Ghassan Abu Sittah, a British-Palestinian doctor who has become known for his work in Gaza, detailed how he was detained at an airport for three and a half hours in Germany and denied entry. Abu Sittah wanted to attend a conference where he would present evidence on the war in Gaza and his witness statement as a doctor working in its hospitals. Germany told him even if he tried to speak from outside Germany to the conference through zoom, he would be subject to a fine and even face a prison sentence.
