Everyone knows it’s genocide just most don’t want to admit it.
Really any solution that doesn’t end in genocide has to start with the US actually doing something other than enabling.
US adminstrations (quite independently of whatever party mask they wear) have a long tradition of supporting “they’re Nazis but they’re our Nazis” governments (remember Pinochet or even Saddam when he was “our guy”) and there really is no reason to expect they would change now.
You see this relativisation of Evil all around, by the way: notice how Germany’s “Never again” turns out to really be “Jews are just like us” rather than “This should never be done again to anybody, anywhere” hence their sanctioning of Russia - who are targetting “people like us” - right next to their “unwavering support” of the Fascists targetting “those not like us” (or, as they call them over there, “human animals”).
Israel is committing genocide in Gaza.

Being charged with genocide is one of the hazards of committing genocide.
In its response to the petition, Israel accused South Africa of a “blood libel,” which is “without legal merit and constitutes a base exploitation and contempt of court.”
blood libel
noun
- The false accusation that Jews murder non-Jewish children to use their blood for their religious rituals and holidays.
- Any false or purportedly false accusation of murder of a non-Jew by a Jewish person or organization.
- Any false or purportedly false accusation of guilt, especially of guilt in mass murder or homicide.
That third point is such a cop out.
This just in: The International Court of Justice is antisemitic!!1!111!!
“State officials fear ICJ could charge Hitler with Genocide in Europe”
nothing will happenWell, good.
Bibi be like “Okay, but how far above the law, Joe?”
Top tier edit lol
Israel can just invade the Netherlands and liberate its defendants, leaving no other survivors. The US (which has a Hague Invasion Act covering any of its own citizens in the event of such a trial) would provide logistical support, either openly or tacitly, and the IDF could use German air bases for staging.
The Netherlands would invoke article 5 of NATO in that case. I don’t think such an action would end well at all.
Either the USA or Germany would refuse, effectively ending NATO as a deterrent to Russian aggression. Germany taking up arms against Israel in any circumstances is as close to an absolute impossibility as you get in the real world.
It would indeed cause a rift between NATO. Which is why it’s unlikely that anyone would support an Israeli invasion of the Hague.

If there’s anything we’ve learned the last few months it’s that international law is about making it all up as you go.

Genocide is not just extinction but an attempt to destroy or erase a nation. Likud’s charter calls for the elimination of a Palestinian state and its leaders have talked openly about using the military to drive all Palestinians into Egypt and Jordan and eliminate the idea of a Palestine. That IS genocide.
Top satire, trying to use math to say it’s just a little bitty genocide.
Thanks Ben Shapiro. Very cool.
Ah yes, using the Holocaust as a baseline is truly a big brain move /s
Not enough dead children you yet?
I’m going to start killing 231 people who piss me off every day, because that’s fine, right? It’s not like I’m committing a genocide. By your own standards, I’d be doing something “VERY REASONABLE.” [sic]
It’s really weird that you think the worst genocide in human history (at least the worst one that I’m aware of) is the minimum standard for any genocide. According to your own standards, only 1 genocide has ever occurred. A quick look at the history books shows that’s obviously not true. Countless peoples have faced genocide of varying degrees throughout history. If you think taking a mere 23 years to exterminate an entire culture/people from a specific region of Earth is some vast amount of time, I really have to wonder exactly what the fuck is wrong with you.
EDIT: In response to your edit, how about you directly respond to even a single person who called you out on your atrocious bullshit with “FACTS AND LOGIC” [sic] instead of just editing your post to whine about down votes. You are disgusting and deserve to step on stray Legos every time you stand up.
Your math is wrong. Israel has killed 1% of the population of Gaza (23,000 out of an estimated 2.3 million) in under three months. So at the current death rate they would kill the entire population in 12.5 years, not 23.
On the night of August 8-9, the Manson family murdered everyone who was home at the Tate house - Sharon Tate, who was 8 1/2 months pregnant, Jay Sebring, a celebrity hairdresser; Abigail Folger, a coffee heiress; her boyfriend Wojciech Frykowski, an aspiring screenwriter; and Steven Parent, an 18-year-old visiting the property’s caretaker. This is the very definition of a murder. Therefore, no Jews were ever murdered because it didn’t happen exactly like what I’m arbitrarily declaring to be the very definition of a murder. There’s no legal definition of what constitutes a murder. There have never been any murders before or since.
This is FACTS AND LOGIC.
Seemed pretty obvious from the first para, but even your edit doesn’t seem to be helping.
But Hamas only killed 1139 Israelis in their attack, not even getting to the 4000 per day threshold, so Israel should not even be allowed to counter attack at all.
