When he told the people around him about filing a lawsuit, Rensburg said he received a lot of support. "Many lawyers decided to join us in the lawsuit. Many of those who have joined are Muslims, but I am not. They feel obligated to assist this cause, but I believe that what is happening is incorrect."
What happened in Iraq is an example of this, he said, noting that no one held the US accountable for the crimes it committed in the Middle Eastern country as the issue was not given the necessary importance.But now people believe what is happening in Palestine is an ideal scenario for the legal process to be carried out, the South African lawyer said, adding that "the US is busy spending more money and more resources to (allow Israel) commit the crime.”
“No one says stop, enough is enough," he remarked.
Rensburg said the genocide case filed by South Africa against Israel at the ICJ will serve as a guide for their case against the US and UK, and that they will begin the process based on the outcome of the case and the steps to be taken by the United Nations.
Els Banys de la Reina (“The Queen’s Baths”), in Calp, Valencian Country.
According to the legend, this swimming pool carved in the rock was the place where a Moorish queen used to take baths, with secret tunnels that lead to her mysterious palace.
Actually, the site is much older, dating back to ancient Roman times. The pools were used to keep fish, and the “secret tunnels” were the cannals endig in perforated gates that allowed water to come and go while keeping the fish inside. It’s possible that the pools also served as an aquatic garden.
Near the pools, there’s a Roman thermal complex and a villa full of mosaics.
