Thing with the term genocide, if Israel are found to have committed it by ICJ, then what? I mean, Israel won't like it, US will condemn it, many will celebrate it, but there wouldn't be any punishment would there? It wouldn't necessarily stop Israel?  Would kind of show the whole thing to be toothless...which is one reason they might not rule it.

Yeah nothing will happen. Nothing will be done about it

Well the US is only spending 3%...so others aren't going to go higher unless they do. 

Poland is leading the way...maybe because they know what's coming...

If same was happening to a european country I very much think people would be also shouting genocide, and something would get done about it.

In the Yugoslav civil war and the genocide in Bosnia, the Corbyn crowd backed the Serbs and argued against NATO intervention. The Dutch UN troops watched the Muslims being marched away and murdered in Srebrenica.

ICJ ruled as genocide? NATO/UN troops were there, as opposed to just asking Israel to stop whilst continuing  to supply aid and arms?

Atrocities yes, war crimes probably, genocide no. There is no intention to destroy all Palestinians. 

 

CIF THERE WAS THEY'RE NOT VERY GOOD AT IT.

Ok, last time I say this...it isn't about destroying all Palestinians...genocide definition:

Genocide is the intentional destruction of a national, ethnic, racial, or religious group, in whole or in part. The term is defined by the United Nations as any of the following acts: 

 

• Killing members of the group
• Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group
• Deliberately inflicting conditions of life that will lead to the group's physical destruction
• Imposing measures to prevent births within the group
• Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group

The perpetrator ...an immigrant from Saudi Arabia who has refugee status and sympathises with AfD and is islamophobic is a gift for all sides using the sad and appalling atrocity in Magdeburg for their stupid little online culture war.

 

What is definitely true is it is almost always a man who spends too much time online.

Suggestions that Russia shot down the Azerbaijan plane mistaking it for a Ukrainian drone.
