This comment was in response to someone expressing regret about joining .ml if I recall correctly

Edit: I’m convinced all this guy does is camp out in front of his computer and wait for an excuse to abuse what itty bitty power he has.

    Saying, there is no genocide in Gaza in your opinion, or making an assertion about the subject? There’s a big difference between the two.

    Edit: Ah, yeah. That explains a lot.

      Its literally by definition and finding of ICJ. Genocide isn’t a opinion or feelings thing ist about hard facts. And saying there is a genocide in Gaza is like saying Ukraine commits genocide in Russia.

      Its a war. Nither Israel nor Ukraine started the wars, they both don’t target civilians and they do their best to keep civilians out of harms way. There is a lot of fake news about Gaza, but that doesn’t change the facts.

      Just because the accusing party throws truckloads of accusations, doesn’t mean they are true, the court found that some accusations have truth to it, but the majority is either untrue or irrelevant. Israel also followed the order to improve the humanitarian situation, despite the accusing parties claims of the opposite. They literally build a port for humanitarian aid with the help of usa and restored operationability of one of the water treatment plants.

      A genocide looks waaay different. A genocide is what Germany did in the nazi era, what China is doing to the Muslim minoritys, what Turkey is doing in Syria, Armenia and parts of Turkey. But a war isn’t genocide.

        Are you sure you’re up to date on the war? Because this is not as true as one would hope.

        “At least some of the acts and omissions alleged by South Africa to have been committed by Israel in Gaza appear to be capable of falling within the provisions of the (Genocide) Convention,” the judges said.

        …

        A majority of at least 15 out of 17 judges voted in favour of imposing the so-called provisional measures, including the court’s president, Joan Donoghue of the United States.

        From your source. 15 out of 17 judges agreed to tell Israel to stop committing acts that “[fall] within the provisions of the (Genocide) Convention.” You realize that phrasing is the diplomatic way of saying “stop committing genocide,” right?

          No that doesn’t mean stop committing genocide, it means do more to prevent a genocide from happening, wich they did.

          Just a reminder that the court couldn’t do shit even if, because its a UN institution. Furthermore UN and Israel have a very very hard time, wich furthers the proof of no genocide. The smallest bit would have been called genocide by them, it was not.
