Instead they said: These are not the official orders, so that’s just talk basically.
And there are some people in the ranks which don’t care that they’re told not to commit genocide. That constitutes genocidal intent of those individuals, but not of the state, which is what the ICJ is asked to judge. Now if Israel fails to prosecute those individuals then that could indeed would strengthen the case against Israel quite a bit, but that’s not what the case the ICJ is currently hearing is about.
Hamas is doing this all themselves!
Not everything, no, but they’re taking cover behind civilians to a ridiculous degree. Which then allows Israel, or aforementioned individuals, to write memos “we can’t drop stuff there that’s too risky”.
Wasn’t there something about Israel not allowing aid organisations to buy food for Gaza in Israel? That’s quite a bit more damning but I don’t think SA put it forth as evidence. And as said with such things the ICJ would likely just say “yeah don’t do that” not “that’s genocidal”.
You’re living in some alternate reality. Are you deliberately trying to mount the worst defense in order to make Israel look bad?
As said: I believe Israel is committing a genocide. Separately from that, I also believe that what they’re doing is not enough for the ICJ to convict them of genocide because the ICJ and me have different standards.
