Germany says will intervene at The Hague on Israel’s behalf, blasts genocide charge
Berlin suggests will intrude in South Africa's primary case in which ICJ will decide if Israel violated Genocide Convention; PM speaks with Scholz, praises 'stance on side of truth'
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…”
It is troubling that so many major powers are inundated with individuals whose true loyalty is to Israel, not their own country or its people.
They do so out of loyalty to their country and its people, more specifically, to the economic and political interests of their country's elites.
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.
I certainly hope Israel gets what it deserves. The level at which its citizens have corrupted the governments and economies of the world should justify a seizure of all their assets and dissolution of the State of Israel, with the land returned to arabs.
The world should demand, through threat of invasion, prosecution and capital punishment for all those who conducted or participated in the unlawful aggression against Palestine and the slaughter of its civilians.
economies of the world should justify a seizure of all their assets and dissolution of the State of Israel, with the land returned to arabs
Ah yes, the classic Israel 2.0 but with Arabs and Muslims this time.
See, this is why even though I am from an Arab country I don't jump quick into up-voting supporters of the basic human rights of Palestinians and Arabs. You are corrupting what should be about the rights and livelihoods of millions by wishing the same injustice happening to millions others instead of vanishing.
