You guys understand that by continually misusing the term and calling this a genocide you are belittling the victims of actual genocides such as the Tutsi in Rwanda, the Cambodians by the Khmer Rouge, the Armenians by the Ottoman Empire, Darfur. The list goes on. This is not a genocide and anyone that calls it on is either willfully spreading misinformation or is woefully misinformed as to what a real genocide is.
The bar for plausibility is very low, and rightly so, because the intention is to intervene early and protect civilians. The court will most likely issue an order to stop the fighting for humanitarian reasons. However, it will probably take a couple of years before they make a determination regarding the allegations of genocide.
Had to re read this a few times. Civilians are dying. The UN should stop it on humanitarian grounds. But hey, it’s the people calling it a genocide that need to be focused on. 🤔
It says quite a bit about most people’s opinions about the ICJ. Anyway, they do not decide the correct usage of the term genocide. That was determined in the past and I am sorry but the crap going on in Gaza isn’t one.
I know this is a troll but just to be clear the role of the ICJ is literally to determine whether Israel’s alleged actions are capable of being covered by the Genocide Convention. Today they decided that this is indeed the case and the measures they announced, as meager as they are, are legally binding.

The ICJ has just taken up a case finding the accusations against Israel plausible, so…

Calling someone names because they disagree with you isn’t helpful to the conversation, if that is indeed why you are here.
