South Africa’s 84-page filing says Israel’s actions “are genocidal in character because they are intended to bring about the destruction of a substantial part” of the Palestinians in Gaza.

It asks the ICJ, also known as the world court, for a series of legally binding rulings. It wants the court to declare that Israel “has breached and continues to breach its obligations under the Genocide Convention,” and to order Israel to cease hostilities in Gaza that could amount to breaches of the convention, to offer reparations, and to provide for reconstruction of what it’s destroyed in Gaza.

      I think genocide is not acceptable. I think the misuse of it by you and others is reprehensible and diminishes the term. I think you don’t seem to know what genocide is or looks like. There are historical examples, and you could learn a lot.

        There are lots of examples and I’ve studied them in university. They all look like what Isreal is preparing to do
