Whether pro-Israeli bots like it or not, numerous acts by IDF do fit perfectly into descriptions of the acts forbidden by the convention. Even if the case is eventually dismissed it will be on technical grounds such as “it’s actually a war crime not a genocide” not because “IDF did nothing wrong”.
WTF, Germany.
Given the country’s past, they’re now so incredibly averse to anything that could even be vaguely construed as criticism of jewish identity and sovereignty (by the Israeli government) that they will bend over backwards to defend all sorts of nonsense.
When you’re so anti-genocide you end up supporting a genocide
I guess they’re the experts on genocide?
“You call that a genocide‽”
On a serious note, the amount of countries that have committed genocide is a staggering amount.
Link to the Wikipedia page. Just a fair warning on it, it’s really fucking depressing and really long.
They clearly just really love genocidal fascist bastards.
“Your Honor, we may know a thing or two about genocide, and we can definitively say…”
Genocidal groups stick together
Won’t someone think of poor Israel!? Who will stand with them!?
For this reason, he said, “we stand firmly against a political instrumentalization” of the Convention.
Which is exactly whats happening. And in the process its demeaning and devaluing the convention. Much like happens constantly in Lemmy WorldNews.
Israel’s six legal representatives asserted that the ICJ has no jurisdiction over the complaints brought by South Africa since they relate to the laws of armed conflict, not genocide; argued that “random” inflammatory comments of Israeli politicians did not reflect policy determined in the state bodies making war policy; and insisted that the widespread harm to Palestinian civilians during the war was a result of Hamas’s massive use of civilian infrastructure for military purposes, and not genocidal acts
It’s nice when sanity and reality rear their heads. That’s going to rial up the Hamas members and supporters here ON Lemmy.
Pointing out their genocidal actions make you a hamas supporter?
Also why would anyone be surprised that’s how Isreal explains their actions in the region? Of course they aren’t going to say they are doing it on purpose
Is anyone seriously surprised? The only country Germany has been more in love with is Russia, Putin’s Russia to be precise.
