    ICJ is just the venue and has not yet made a ruling.

    The 15 permanent judges of the ICJ (unanimously) issued an injunction /order because there is credible risk of genocide for Israel to stop killing members of the group, preserve evidence, and provide humanitarian aid to the 1.5 million refugees.

    Mainstream media all around is just obfuscating the gravity of this.

      Genocide can be a crime committed by one or a few individuals. It doesn’t have to be a top-to-bottom organized effort. This just says that there are some individuals who seem motivated to commit genocide and if they do the Israeli government needs to preserve evidence. And that Israel should avoid situations where genocide is a risk.

        Exactly. The ICJ just says that Israel should continue to carry out the present operation and take action to prevent future genocide. There’s no statement that Israel or anyone in Israel is committing or attempting to commit genocide at present.
