The United Nations’ top court opens hearings Thursday into South Africa’s allegation that Israel’s war with Hamas amounts to genocide against Palestinians, a claim that Israel strongly denies.

      Prove it was intentional and not a misfire, a problem with civilians accessing up to date information etc etc. Gaza is very small and very densely populated. You have to prove without a shadow of a doubt intent here. It ain’t gonna happen.

      Again, you’d be better off taking Israel to court on war crimes you can actually prove. Ones that don’t require proving this intent.

        Gaza is very small and very densely populated.

        Which is why everyone knows that you can’t carpet bomb it without genocidal consequences.

        They’ve known this for decades and still they keep doing it. Your bad faith excuses for genocide are more stale than Alexander Fleming’s bread.

          Your bad faith excuses for genocide

          This right here shows you didn’t actually understand what I’ve been writing.

            Nope. Saying “I don’t approve of it but it’s not genocide” when it’s clearly genocide is denying and thereby excusing genocide, no matter how much you scowl at it.
