    You’re ignoring that first part, without which every military action would qualify under that statute:

    with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group,

    Israel’s started intent is to destroy Hamas, which is none of those protected groups.

    Plausible does not mean probable. The ICJ didn’t order a cease fire, which would be odd if this was in fact a genocide.

      I am not ignoring the first part, this is why every military action doesn’t qualify under that statute but Israel is “plausibly” doing a Genocide according to ICJ. Personally I don’t need a court decision to make up my mind.

      Plausible does not mean probable

      see dictionary for details?

      Apart from that, you haven’t said anything about what are Israel’s responsibilities, and you actively ignored my specific question on the matter. We cannot talk solutions without that so I don’t see any point continuing this attempt to have a conversation.

        Yes, it’s clear you’ve made up your mind, good thing you’re not a judge on the IJC misinterpreting the law.

        I would say the most important thing Israel has to do is defeat Hamas, which means either destroying them or getting them to surrender, while not breaking the law. They have a responsibility to protect their own people and to honor their treaties. They’re letting in 100 humanitarian aid trucks a day into Gaza on average, each one has to be searched, protesters are blocking many of them, and many humanitarian aid organizations have decided it is too dangerous to send trucks, if that is not legally sufficient they need to let in more.

        Good day.
