A few initial paragraphs follow:
The accusation by the UN and other humanitarians that Israel may be committing a war crime by deliberately starving Gazaās population is likely to significantly increase the prospect of legal culpability for the country, including at the international court of justice.
Amid reports that the Israel Defense Forces are hiring dozens of lawyers to defend against anticipated cases and legal challenges, the charge that Israel has triggered a āman-made famineā by deliberately obstructing the entry of aid into Gaza is backed by an increasing body of evidence.
Already facing a complaint of genocide from South Africa at the ICJ, the UNās top court ā including an allegation that senior Israeli political officials have incited genocide in public statements ā Israel is also the subject of a provisional emergency ruling by the court ordering it to admit life-saving aid to Gaza.
On Wednesday, the US secretary of state, Antony Blinken, underlined the growing sense of crisis as he warned that all of Gazaās 2 million people were experiencing āsevere levels of acute food insecurityā ā the first time an entire population of Gaza has been so classified.
Unlike other issues related to Israelās conduct in its war against Hamas in Gaza, which has claimed more than 30,000 lives and displaced more than 85% of the population amid widespread destruction, the human-made famine occurring in the Palestinian territory appears more straightforward.
Well a āman-made famineā fulfills another part of the genocide definition
Killing members of the group;
Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group;
Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part;
Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group;
Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group.
So itās important in the sense that itās one step closer to a definite conviction of a genocide.
Itās definitely ethnic cleansing. But fucking bureaucracy bullshit, so theyāre probably following the four-stage strategy
I got banned from world news on lemmy because I argued one of these genocidal Israelis and they ended up spamming and mass reporting me after they obfuscated the thread. The only and worst āpersonal insultā I used, once, was āIDF trollā, and that wasnāt even bullshit.
Iām so tired of nothing good happening in the world.
You want to start a revolution with me, friend?
