Ai generated TLDR:

South Africa has presented a case to the International Court of Justice (ICJ) alleging that Israel’s attacks on Gaza amount to genocide. The case centers on the killing of 23,210 Palestinians, mostly women and children, and the displacement of 85% of Palestinians. South Africa argues that Israeli forces were often aware that their bombings would cause significant civilian casualties and that they targeted safe zones, mosques, hospitals, schools, and refugee camps. The Israeli government rejects these allegations and argues that its attacks are directed at Hamas soldiers, not civilians. The ICJ will decide whether the allegations are plausible and may order an interim ceasefire and steps to prevent genocide. If the court rules in favor of South Africa, it would be a major development in international law, but enforcement of the ruling is uncertain. The case could influence smaller powers and put countries like Australia in a difficult position.

    Obviously it isn’t a foregone conclusion. Even if they come back in favor of Israel, that doesn’t mean people, especially Palestinians, won’t remember what happened.

        I don’t particularly appreciate your insinuation that because I said Palestine won’t forget Israel’s actions that I somehow support the cycle of violence in the region.

          As I didn’t particularly appreciate your insinuation that because I said it’s a hopeless circle of violence and grievances that I somehow support fucking Israel.

            Please take the aggression down a notch, I was not the one who claimed you support Israel and I did not intend to make such an implication.

          To be fair the current Israel propaganda line is: “Hamas are to blame for every Palestinian death because of October 7th 2023”. When asked about any events in human history before this date, they plug their ears and scream “RREEEEE!!! HAMAS RAPE MACHINE!!! HUMAN MEAT SHIEEEEELLLLLDS!!! ALL TERRORIST!!! KILL ALL!!!”.
          So if this is an Israel propagandist, at least they’re a bit more subtle than, yknow, the actual government of Israel.

          I’m sure you and Jared Kushner just have such amazing insights into the area. I really don’t know why they still don’t have peace in the Middle East.
