Rattle's social media posts appear to show him standing in front of destroyed buildings and rubble in Gaza

"By serving in the IDF and engaging in military action in Gaza, on behalf of Israel, Rattle appears to have contravened the Implementation of the... and appears to have engaged in the crime of genocide and crimes against humanity, directly or indirectly or by common purpose or by association or under orders given by the IDF," the PSC says.

Outside the police station on Thursday, the PSC's Usuf Chikte told GroundUp that the PSC had been working on the issue for some time. He said they had a list of more than 70 names which they had submitted to the National Prosecuting Authority but had so far been ignored. "If the person in the copies of the Instagram posts attached hereto is Rattle, then that person appears to have breached two laws of South Africa and for that reason we are submitting these criminal complaints to the appropriate authorities in South Africa for urgent consideration and investigation and, if necessary, prosecution."
