Yeah I'm a pedant and would call it Russia-tier war crimes, still obvious wrong and I'm sure that the bibi regime's intentions are genocidal, but I'm not too sure on whether or not I would call it genocide because I'm unsure of the history of the region, from the series of massacres definition I'd say that's too broad.
Just to be clear there is a strong probability of it being a genocide, but the thing that sours it so much for me is that it's South Africa that brought up the case. I Know MUCH more about South Africa than Isreal-Palestine, and in my opinion the South African Government is not being totally honest and just in the prosecution, as the case is a very easy way to score political points with the world while the government devolves further into corruption and a failstate.
Of course that's the problem with Isreal-Palestine, I really haven't seen much in the way of parties I would consider neutral in the whole thing because of all the religious attachments and South Africa's big and growing friendship with Russia.
Do 6 million people need to die first?
Every single one of the 5 requirements to call it Genocide has been met. The 84 page document from South Africa was clear.
