South Africa’s bold legal case against Israel on charges of genocide at the International Court of Justice (ICJ) has shone a spotlight on the cracks in the liberal world order and exposed the duplicity of international law.

In this episode of Stories of Resistance, we delve deep into how this unprecedented act of defiance by the Global South challenges the double standards of Western powers and international human rights.

The systematic oppression, ethnic cleansing, and dehumanization of the Palestinian people have continued unchecked for decades. Yet, South Africa—a nation bearing the scars of its own colonial past and apartheid—has stepped forward to confront this injustice.

Drawing on its history of resisting racial oppression and fighting for liberation, South Africa’s case puts Western standards of justice to the test.

We also revisit the brutal legacy of apartheid South Africa and the unsung heroes who fought against it. At the heart of this episode is the powerful story of Imam Abdullah Haroon, an anti-apartheid activist who was tortured and murdered in 1969 for his resistance. His story serves as a parallel to contemporary struggles for justice and equality, illustrating how the spirit of resistance lives on in those who dare to speak truth to power.
