    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
