Considering ICJ requested Israel to prevent any future genocidal acts and then Israel started starving the people of Gaza as well as bomb shelters and hospitals and that Netanyahu is wanted for arrest by ICC I am thinking that pro Israel lot might be disappointed with the outcome.
The President judge said specifically :
“(The ICJ) did not decide - and this is something where I’m correcting what’s often said in the media - that the claim of genocide was plausible. It did emphasise in the order that there was a risk of irreparable harm to the Palestinian right to be protected from genocide. But the shorthand that often appears, which is that there’s a plausible case of genocide, isn’t what the court decided.’
As others have said, the term being misused has possibly made things worse for everyone.
wow...ok...I mean that was a clarification that seemed to come months after, kind of reads a bit differently to what they said at the time. Anyway, this will likely go on for a few years and if evidence provided proves Israel has been acting genocidal acts, then that will be the ICJ ruling. None of us know what that ruling will be. Pro Israel people say no genocide being committed, pro Palestine people say the evidence is clear that it definitely is genocide. But it will be ICJ judges who decide, and then one of those sides will disagree.
Thank you all for the answers and sorry for the offtopic. I am a regular at primavera and on this forum since years but never explored the other pages/festivals on the website! Will do!
TBH, many festivals are so random in terms of lineup that asking directly to peers going regularly to primavera looked like the best way to filter out events I would not be interested into
