Link to the summary of findings submitted by South Africa: https://apnews.com/article/un-court-south-africa-israel-gaza-genocide-71be2ce7f09bfee05a7cae26689ee262

South Africa’s 84-page filing says Israel’s actions “are genocidal in character because they are intended to bring about the destruction of a substantial part” of the Palestinians in Gaza.

It asks the ICJ, also known as the world court, for a series of legally binding rulings. It wants the court to declare that Israel “has breached and continues to breach its obligations under the Genocide Convention,” and to order Israel to cease hostilities in Gaza that could amount to breaches of the convention, to offer reparations, and to provide for reconstruction of what it’s destroyed in Gaza.

    I’m all sorts of fine with condem atrocities and war crimes. I hate Bibi and Likud and would love to see the whole lot of them tried. And wewilli be on the same page up to Oct. I’m all for prosecuting collective punishment and other Israeli war crimes pre october. And every rocket fired at civilians was a war crime, and I’m for prosecuting the tens of thousands of those incidents. and other Hamas’ greatest hits like suicide bombings and bus bombings.

    The Palestinians have rejected 2-state 4 or 5 times, both pre and post. Roughly '37, '47, '67, '00, '08. And Israel has agreed to it multiple times and has been agreeable to it… Go look it up. It’s not hard to find. It’s just a more inconvenient fact for Lemmy.

    Also, dirty Jerusalem, which NOBODY should get. Since these fucking murderous religious trash of all varieties can’t behave. They should just forbid it to everyone. Go kindergarten on them. “Now nobody gets to play with it”. Much of the rejection of 2 state is fucking Jerusalem. Religion makes everything horrible.

    And Palestinians DID elect Hamas, elected them to destrogy israel and the Jews. And they’re more popular than ever. If they held elections today, they’d win easily both in Gaza and West Bank. Abbas is fucked and about to lose power completely.

    Hamas is the government there. When people say aid to the Palestinians, what they mean is give money and food and fuel to Hamas (they literally handle it) amd then they also steal it and tell the citizens that Isreal is starving you. It’d great PR both in and outside of Gaza. It works wonders here eith Lemmy radical terrorist supporters and sympathizers.

      What does October 7 change? Most 2 state solutions have failed to be fair to Palestinians as the first people there. The only reason why HAMAS is in power is because Israel is oppressing Palestinians and it would make sense that they would hate Israel. Israel was only established fairly recently by kicking the Palestinians out of their land. October 7 was not a terrorist attack, it was an act of war, a war which has been ongoing since Israel was established.

      The news sources you linked are Israeli so not worth reading for a balanced perspective

        Heh, all Arab states were established fairly recently. LOL.

        And holy shit. At least we are done. You’re an apologist for terrorists. As I tell a lot of radicalized kids on here who are Hamas aligned or members, you need to self reflect and get out of your bubble.

        You’re heading down a super dangerous direction that could ruin your life. Take a step back, and take a breath. And step away. When you come back, expose yourself to something other than Hamas propaganda, and the Lemmy echo chamber.

        Your assertion that “Oct. 7th wasn’t a terrorist attack”, is a crazy huge red flag warning. I won’t try to reason with you anymore. You’re clearly past reason.

        I wish you the best of luck and hope you turn away from embracing terroism before you become an active participant.

        I’ve never seen a better recruiting place for Hamas than Lemmy. It’s super dangerous, and needs to be addressed.

          • I never said I supported HAMAS. I support neither party involved in this war.
          • There needs to be a solution but neither party appear to be willing to be a part of it.
          • Israel’s attack on Gaza is not self-defence
          • Israel are not taking adequate steps to reduce civilian casualties
          • I said HAMAS’ attack was an act of war not terror, a higher charge than you give it.

          Frankly, I am insulted by your childishness in response to my arguments
