This isn't accurate, genocide isn't among the charges that the ICC is trying to prosecute Netanyahu for. Khan's initial list of charges included extermination, but that was rejected by the pre-trial chamber.
Do you mean the ICJ? They haven't made any finding of genocide either, but it's a possible outcome of the current case.
- kennywinker 1y agoYes, I conflated the icc and icj. While the ICJ hasn’t concluded it is genocide, they have clearly contradicted the post I was responding to that said this does NOT fit the legal definition of genocide. If it didn’t fit, they would not have ordered israel to act to prevent acts of genocide.
- dralley 1y agoIf it did fit, Ireland wouldn't be trying to change the definition of genocide to make it fit.
- kennywinker 1y agoIf the irish don’t think it fits, why do they keep calling it a genocide? They want to expand the definition of genocide to include blocking aid (already a war crime, and something israel is consistently doing). They want to do this not because they have any doubt that a genocide is occurring, but because the current definition makes it too easy for supporters of this genocide to sew doubt allowing the genocide to continue. P.s. still waiting on your retraction.
