There is no such thing as a world court, please stop making things up. You continue to appeal to authority as if that proves everything. Nothing you've said in this entire discussion is based in reality. Not a word of it. Please consider simply actually looking at reality and not allowing false propaganda to sway your understanding. Calling something genocide doesn't make it so. Calling Hamas collateral damage is further proof of your totally warped world view.

I really shouldn’t be engaging with this. Attacking me personally and calling me names is not the HN way. However I’d like to clarify one thing. The World Court is used interchangeably with the International Court of Justice (ICJ). Googling “World Court” yields ICJ as the first result. Typing “World Court” into Wikipedia gives you the page for ICJ. In many languages (including my native tongue) this court is called the World Court. I beg you to please show some curiosity, if you encounter a term you don’t know, it is easier to search the term (or ask) rather then to accuse the poster of idiocy.

  Where did I call you a name? I attacked your view and argument. You clearly like to toss out baseless accusations, but that doesn't make them true. Regardless of their name, they hold no authority and are an entirely political organization as I've said in other comments. I'm not sure what I need to show curiosity about, I've been very open to any discussion here, but if all you continue to bring are baseless accusations of hate, without adding anything there isn't really any more curiosity to be had.

    You accused me of making things up and being delusional (which is quite ableist name calling IMO) by saying things like: “Nothing you've said in this entire discussion is based in reality”, and “Please consider getting your facts from this reality and not the false one you invent in your imagination” Without elaborating what you mean by that, the only way I can take it is if you believe me to have delusions. When you say stuff like: “You have no idea what genocide means” you accuse me of ignorance, despite the fact that earlier I made it clear what I meant by it, and even cited the genocide convention. The only way I can take this is that you believe me to be dumb (which may be true TBH). You didn’t attack my arguments, rather you assumed my worldview to be delusional or ignorant and ordered me to stop doing that. You also accused me of anti-semitism elsewhere, but I choice not to engage with that.

      You're the one who is reading into what I'm saying... why not just take it at face value, I'm asking you to only take facts from the real world not some imaginary propaganda one. I would say that at this point it's becoming increasingly clear you're gaslighting and/or trolling and not arguing in good faith, well played. From the continued insistence on a false accusation of genocide against all Jews to the willful ignorance about the history of Israel. I guess I should have expected no less from someone with pronouns on their profile.

        > I'm asking you to only take facts from the real world not some imaginary propaganda one > You continue to appeal to authority as if that proves everything. Nothing you've said in this entire discussion is based in reality. > anything can be true… doesn’t mean it actually is tho, it could be true we’re living on the sun… especially if we totally redefine the meaning of “living”, “true”, and “sun”. > Calling AJ or WP established news organizations is like calling water dry. They're both propaganda arms of the same type of people > These are people incapable of understanding the actual facts on the ground either because they've been totally brainwashed or like in your case, their jobs prevent them from accepting rational arguments. I honestly don’t know what you want me to do. If I make a claim which is widely believed, recited by international organizations as well as governments and media outlets. If I cite a news source, then you simply claim their claim is not base in reality either and/or they are just propaganda. A pedantic side note (to bring some curiosity back into this discussion): Water can indeed be dry. When water is frozen it is indeed dry, when you touch it, it melts the surface and it is the melted liquid water you touch which is wet. A second pedantic side note: AJ and WP (and every other media outlet) is off course propaganda. I never pretend otherwise. However they usually propagandize with editorializing, while still reporting truthfully, these are all true statements: “34 000 have been murdered by the Israeli military in an ongoing genocide in Gaza” “Israeli assaults have now killed at least 34 000 in Gaza” “Hamas controlled Gaza health ministry has now confirmed 34 000 lost their lives in Gaza” Even though they are propaganda, there is still a widely excepted true statement in there that we can use as source. If you want to dispute that, then you are going to have to provide some evidence, and honestly this is such a widely believed number I will probably not believe the evidence you would give against it.
