Israeli asked the court to dismiss the case as not being genocide. The court refused, saying it’s plausible and will look further.
So it’s more likely than not to be genocide.
Have you ever been to a court? There are requests for full rulings, which can take monthes, and requests for express rulings before the full rulings, to avoid some catastrophe about to happen.
If the court waited monthes and years, it would be too late to prevent genocide.
If Israel doesn’t want to be seen as an outlaw, it should comply to international law.
If Israel says that criticizing the government is anti-semitism, then:
Israel has to provide a definition of anti semitism. There are many, including one by the journal Times of Israel in 2022 in which it’s argued that seeing Jews as equals is anti semitic. Israel also try to sell the definition of anti semitism to include any critics to the government of israel. So clearly some definitions are designed to let Israel do whatever it wants without being hold accountable.
Israel claims to be a democracy, but I don’t know any democracy in which criticizing it’s government is seen as something bad
According to State Theory, a State needs: a) a people b) a terrain c) a government. Those 3 entities are clearly separated, and being against a government doesn’t mean being against it’s people. There is also Jewish people outside Israel, thus Israel cannot claim to be their government and speak for all Jews.
protecting Jews in Nazi Germany was seen as Anti-German. So, if a government defines protecting other people as being against their own people, that’s a bad sign about this government.
If Israel claims to be for the Jewish religion or Jewish race (non religious), it should accept that it is either a racist country or a theocratic country, and will be seen and treated accordingly.
