Hi and apologies for the late reply - /c/world@lemmy.world moderator @jordanlund@lemmy.world removed my comment and gave me a temporary ban for the comment you replied to citing that it was “Pro-Israel propaganda”.
First off, thank you for posting this link - and no, I’m not interested in discussing them. My point was that users should be held to a higher standard when posting as moderators than the rest of us.
I will however give a comment on the contents of the cited webpage. I read through the statements from decision makers (These seemed most relevant), and they did (in my personal view) not amount to intent. However, as law4palestine highlights:
The ultimate adjudication of this matter is contingent upon the determination of a competent court.
Personally, I want to see a full investigation by the ICJ conducted, and if they do end up with an indictment, those responsible brought to justice.
I don’t understand how someone can read 22 incitements to genocide by the Minister of Defense, Prime Minister, and President of Israel on top of the hundreds of other incitements by public officials, Knesset members, military personnel, and law enforcement; only to conclude that it does not amount to intent. That doesn’t make sense to me. That’s on top of the ongoing military operations that fit the description of genocide and go against the ICJs orders to prevent a plausible genocide.
Intent is a critical part of the ICJ case, the court case would not be ongoing if the evidence was not plentiful and credible. The people of Gaza cannot wait years for a verdict.
I agree with your last paragraph, for the war crimes Hamas has committed too, after an end to the apartheid.
