The United Nations’ top court opens hearings Thursday into South Africa’s allegation that Israel’s war with Hamas amounts to genocide against Palestinians, a claim that Israel strongly denies.

    Prove it. Give any evidence, prove that you’re smarter than basically every lawyer outside of the South Africa team and prove genocide.

    If you think I’m a supporter of the Israeli government you didn’t actually read my comments.

    You people act like this conflict is between sports teams, fucking hell.

        Yes I would, I mean. There’s literally no evidence in that article. It’s just detailing a situation, a horrific situation that needs to stop. But there’s no evidence of genocide. Please again, provide evidence.

        Yes, Israel has committed other war crimes and should be held responsible. But that’s not the argument.

          We need more nuanced, objective takes like this. Thanks for bringing some rationality to this discussion, even though you’re getting dogpiled.

            People handle this situation like it’s a sporting event. Like one side can do no wrong and if you’re not in lock step with one side then you must be in full collusion with the other. Completely ignoring that one side is a terrorist organization that took over by force, the other side is an apartied government that’s perpetrated a siege for years, both have civilian deaths on their hands and caught in the middle are actual people that didn’t ask for this.

            But yeah, thanks for your comment.

          I’m sure you’ll quietly change your mind over the course of the next few years. I guess we’ll have to wait and see.
