Yes, it is. States have a clear obligation to stop the genocide in Palestine. Only the mentally infirm distrust that one is ongoing. Due to rules of process and the perpetrators waging war against the court it will likely never make a sound

Several reasons. For one we've broken the climate and poisoned our habitat, this will for sure cause major problems for existing power structures. We're not sure when, just that it will, eventually. There will be massive amounts o

They were widely distributed and there was no way for the israelis to know where they were when they detonated them, which they likely did out of desperation and not because they had good reason to believe they were in such and such a posit

Hezbollah members include medical personnel, teachers, politicians and so on. It is a much larger group of organisations than the armed factions. I'm not sure what you're after. What the israelis did would have been a worse crime

What would the implication of this nitpick be, in your opinion? Wasn't a consequence of this conclusion that the court ordered Israel to change its behaviour because it has an obligation to prevent genocide?

Yes. They formed as a militia to protect Lebanon against israeli invasion, because the relevant colonial powers did not allow the lebanese state to build enough of an army to protect its borders.

No, they did not. They also mainly used munitions that fly low and escape the israeli air defenses, which is why most of their targets were close to the border. Hezbollah is a movement that is many things, among them one of the dominant par

In WWII Germany was the genocidal aggressor, in this case Israel and its backers are the genocidal aggressors. Punishing a state for genocidal aggression is quite a bit more reasonable than the might is right-ideology you subscribe to. The

This was about as targeted as anti-personnel landmines, but spread out in civilian areas and detonated without any knowledge of their surroundings at the time. Because mines are untargeted and designed to maim without discrimination as to w

How did you come up with that tally? Israel has refused to comply with requests from international investigators into the matter, likely because a lot of the casualties were due to IDF actions. I remember the footage of "that young Ger

ICJ found the accusation plausible, and did later in another case conclude that the israeli occupation of palestinian land and apartheid is not lawful and must stop. Whether ICJ had found genocide perpetrated or just plausible does not matt

For one it wasn't targeted, but either way, if it, as you claim, was targeted then it would be even worse because it's worse to kill and maim kids by targeting them than by being indifferent.

Close to a hundred thousand israelis were evacuated from the north at the peak of it. Out of thousands of attacks something like 45 israeli civilians were killed, like when the IDF brought civilians to repair power lines and Hezbollah attac

Well, if that stops your thinking, maybe ponder the illegality of the israeli occupation of palestinian territory then. The israelis must withdraw their people from palestinian territories occupied in -67 and ought to pay reparations for bo

If it wasn't indiscriminate, then they intentionally killed and maimed kids. It being indiscriminate would be the lesser evil out of these two options and it is unclear to me why you would prefer this interpretation of the events. My v

It's the other way around, the US wants Israel as an asset and is currently fighting to keep it one despite having been implicated in the accelerated genocide in Palestine, crime of aggression and so on. This is an extremely unpopular

Where would the exaggeration be? In that they're not 'aryanising' corporations and hence it's not an apt comparison?
