The ruling has been massively downplayed by the german media with headlines like “does not order ceasefire” when it ordered Israel to “stop killing members of the group”, basically ordered them to stop committing acts of genocide. At this stage they could not be any clearer!
They also ordered under 80. the immediate provision and humanitarian aid. On the same day Israel comes up with this accusation about some 12 out of thousands of aid workers being member of hamas. Then Germany among others cuts of humanitarian aid, directly in violation of the ICJ order. Which now makes Germany complicit in the genocide.
If Israel is allowed to continue a million innocent civilians could easily die horribly from starvation, thirst or disease, as well as just exposure.
The Court is also of the view that Israel must take all measures within its power to prevent
and punish the direct and public incitement to commit genocide in relation to members of the
Palestinian group in the Gaza Strip.
The Court further considers that Israel must take immediate and effective measures to
enable the provision of urgently needed basic services and humanitarian assistance to address the
adverse conditions of life faced by Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.
Israel must also take effective measures to prevent the destruction and ensure the
preservation of evidence related to allegations of acts within the scope of Article II and Article III of
the Genocide Convention against members of the Palestinian group in the Gaza Strip.
My point is that the judges did not unanonimously called it genocide. I just don’t want fake news being spread. The ruling has much more nuance than that.
No they didn’t. Not saying the ruling is right or wrong but the court did not call it a genocide (yet).
