    Your honour, our client can’t have intent because they’re demonstrably criminally insane, we know because we caused that insanity". Not in that many words, but to that effect.

    That’s completely made up, either by you or by another person. What they actually say is that Israel’s intent is to defend against the armed attacks of the Hamas, not to commit a genocide.

    More like: “Your honor, our client is just trying to defend themselves, they are not doing this to commit a genocide”

      Mere defensive intent does not match up with the evidence unless you assume psychosis, and Germany very much is not denying the evidence.

      That’s why I said “in not that many words”.

        Germany provided Israel with anti-tank weapons and also training muniton. That’s it (according to official statements). Doesn’t sound like something you could commit a genocide with to me…
