South Africa’s case before the International Court of Justice is crammed with evidence of breaches of the 1948 international genocide convention.

With the question of whether Israel is committing genocide in Gaza now before the International Court of Justice, the Biden administration has struck a tone of glib dismissal.

Top Israeli political and military leaders have themselves helped to bolster the case against their government. The words of Israeli officials are being offered as evidence of intent: from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu urging Israelis to “remember” the Old Testament account of the carnage of Amalek (“Spare no one, but kill alike men and women, infants and sucklings,” reads one passage); to Defense Minister Yoav Gallant vowing that “Gaza won’t return to what it was before — we will eliminate everything”; to the minister of energy and infrastructure pledging, “They will not receive a drop of water or a single battery until they leave this world.” By speaking openly about destroying Gaza and dispersing its residents, Israeli leaders have publicized what has, in other cases of genocide, been hidden or denied.

    I say it’s pretty obvious that the genocide case is based on Hammas propaganda, the newspaper os reporting on it… So they kinda do it but not intentionally.

      See, the disconnect here is that you don’t know the many, many journalists and foreign representatives in Gaza right now, who don’t rely on either Hamas or Isreal for their witness testimonies.

      It’s this arrogant assumption that the world needs either representative to make heads and tails of the situation.

      Not only that, but the many, many, many depositions, since the days of Mark Twain. If all that is Hamas, I wanna know where they hide their time machine.

      So IMHO your position is flawed.

      Do you have any link to support your claim? Like how the Hamas propaganda machine has infiltrated Israeli media, or any media/organization etc.

      I ask because so far I am aware of the Israeli lobby. Here is an Al Jazeera Investigation prooving how the Israeli lobby is influencing Britain, for instance.
      The Lobby P1: Young Friends of Israel
      The Lobby P2: The Training Session
      The Lobby P3: An Anti-Semitic Trope
      The Lobby P4: The Takedown

      On the other hand I am not aware of any documentation claiming that Hamas has a strong propaganda machine. So strong that they even have Haaretz under their thumb, according to what you say.
