INTERNATIONAL COURT OF JUSTICE: LATEST
- Thread starter niniveh
- Start date
What are you talking about? This was Biden mocking the people who said the whole Kelce/Swift/Biden thing was a conspiracy to get him re-elected. It has absolutely nothing to do with Gaza.
To post it just after giving Netanyahu the green light to bomb tents full of refugees in Gaza puts it in an entirely different light.
Major developments Blunt statement from the ICC
Pretty sure you have said "never" repeatedly in this thread.
That you admit it is an interpretation only (even if you insist it is the only one that makes sense) is fine.
My objection was purely to you torturing logic by saying that there was no other way to read it and insisting things had been proved that hadn't been proved.
That you want to draw an inference about the truth is fine with me.
That you pretend your inference is what is in the text is not.
By insisting that any killing isn't part of a specific plan to commit genocide.
Or by changing tactics to make it obvious they are being more careful.
I'm not saying Israel did that, I am once again saying that pretending that this was an order to never kill another Palestinian is to misread the order.
I have seen no adjustment in Israel's tactics.
They appear to be going with "you may think this plausibly looks like genocide, but it isn't, so we don't have to change anything" as their approach to a defense.
The provisional measures don't say 'don't commit genocide' as you keep reminding us. They say Israel must abide by the convention and not commit genocide and 'in particular' prevent killing Palestinians in Gaza. I don't think even trying to look careful fulfills that demand and prepping to attack Rafah is about as contrary to the orders as possible.
Prevent killing Palestinians in Gaza.
Its still hard to argue that bombing refugees in tents, as they did a couple of nights ago, is preventing any killing.
I think that Netanyahu's political career is hanging by a thread and he will continue the genocide as long as Biden allows him, which apparently now includes attacking Rafah. Where 1.4 million refugees are crammed together with no where to go.
South Africa just submitted an urgent request for additional measures.
We'll see what happens after this.
Intense fighting near Khan Younis hospitals, Rafah hospitals ‘overwhelmed’: UN
I never said Israel was succeeding in fulfilling the demand.
In fact, I think they appear to be flouting it and counting on the extremely high standard of proof required to prove genocide to get away with it.
Good for them, although its unclear what additional measure they want the court to take.
I think the amount of evidence of intent followed by actions will make the case against them pretty solid. There are so, so many statements of genocidal intent from Israeli leaders.
We'll see, but I'm sure they are hoping for the ICJ to send demand for an immediate ceasefire to the UN SC, where we'd have to see if Biden would veto it.
Go for it, support all applications of the law on both sides.
Charge them both at the ICJ and ICC.
May they be labelled as war criminals forever.
May charges against Hamas and Israel be taken seriously and treated fairly in court.
