    It says quite a bit about most people’s opinions about the ICJ. Anyway, they do not decide the correct usage of the term genocide. That was determined in the past and I am sorry but the crap going on in Gaza isn’t one.

      I know this is a troll but just to be clear the role of the ICJ is literally to determine whether Israel’s alleged actions are capable of being covered by the Genocide Convention. Today they decided that this is indeed the case and the measures they announced, as meager as they are, are legally binding.

        Calling someone names because they disagree with you isn’t helpful to the conversation, if that is indeed why you are here.
