I think it might be the Israeli genocide in gaza?
You mean the case which convinced the ICJ that Israel was committing war crimes and made them order Israel to halt operations?
Just because they haven't proven genocide in the full legal sense doesn't mean what's happening there is right.
You can try to create reality all you want but if the rest of us disagree it won't go anywhere
They didn’t rule that Israel was committing war crimes.
Anything else you’d like to make up?
It's pretty clear you're detached from reality. Israeli Ministers themselves said so. I am sure you think I am making an antisemitic statement. It doesn't matter if thats a belief you genuinely hold or just parroting Israel propaganda.
But 50k+ Civilians have been killed in response to 2k dead. Evidence is there. You simply refuse to accept it because you think Israel is the good guys here and everybody else is Hamas.
lack of decency and respect for human lives doesn't need a court judgement to be obvious.
No, that’s made up. There’s no known figure for civilian deaths in Gaza.
What the fuck are you smoking, my man? Propaganda straight from netanyahu's asshole?

“The International Court of Justice has issued its opinion and the conclusion is loud and clear: Israel’s occupation and annexation of the Palestinian territories are unlawful, and its discriminatory laws and policies against Palestinians violate the prohibition on racial segregation and apartheid.

The israeli Arny made up their own numbers to make themselves look bad? Thats not a very intelligent statement. And its not a functioning defense in any argument lol
That bullshit too... Some israelian official told the death tool was 1200 in November 2023. I guess the point you are making is that these numbers are far lower than reality https://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-67347201 https://www.hrw.org/news/2023/12/18/israel-starvation-used-weapon-war-gaza
Illegal annexation of the west bank ruled by the UN to be illegal under international law. From a military analysis. The ordinance levels being used in Gaza and the specific targets ie hospitals and schools is a violation of the Geneva convention. No state actor may commit a war crime in response to the war crime of another party. Thats not how international law works so I dont want to hear of this "but hamas did this" nonsense. It is Israels responsibility to figure out how to end this and retrieve its hostages without committing war crimes or violating international law. It has been a miserable failure at every turn in doing so.
We do not live in a pre world war 2 political order anymore. As it stands Israels founding as a nation was dubious in its legitimacy as it stands and is along with the balfort declaration, one of the last vestiges of the treaty of Versailles. Which was a complete and utter disaster for the entire world.
Under international law, a people under occupation by a foreign government have the right to armed resistance against their occupiers and the occupiers have no right to self defense under international law. The UN has ruled that israel IS engaged in an occupation in both Gaza and the west bank.
