Does it really matter. when a country Like South Africa puts a solid case before the ICJ with solid documented proof about all genocidal attacks on civilians. The ICJ and the international community prefers to look away. and instead tells Israel to be more careful "next time", as if what has been committed isn't already enough.

Did you actually read the ICJ report, or are you copying someone else?

Because the incredibly detailed, balanced report does not say Israel is committing genocide, yet theses are the only two words from the report I ever see repeated.

Among other things, it states:

there are significant concerns from both sides on human right issues, war crime and individual conduct.
there are credible claims that Israels actions can amount to genocide, and a call for a pause to conflict so claims can be investigated. Noting that 1, individual actions aren't genocide, Israel has legal defenses on some that are claimed to be genocide that are being debated (namely attacks on civilian infrastructure and blocking aid).
Hamas is using civilian structures to conduct its own operations, putting civilians at risk.
Israel is destroying structures hamas is using, which is not a war crime. Notably, Hamas is a designated terrorist organization and its militants are not protected citizens anywhere, including hospitals and temples.
Hamas should immediately release all hostages unconditionally.

Two words from a massive detailed report. Noting on Hamas issues, nothing on Israel actions that are still being debated, nothing on the call to release all hostages immediately. If you want to discuss the best report to come out of this conflict, discuss it in its entirety and context - stop cherry picking facts that support your narrative.

Do you have a better link, that one keeps repeating verification?

[–] Dreamer@lemmy.ml 6 points 9 months ago

You have read the publically available report, so you should already know what's inside, or at the very least, how to access it, no?

The URL previously provided links directly to the source, hosted by the official ICJ website itself. If you are still having trouble getting past the bot verification, maybe it is time to take the hint.
