The issuing of preliminary orders means that they have deemed the risk of genocide in Gaza at the hands of the Israeli government to be plausible. The judges voted overwhelming in agreement with that ruling. One judge voted for the provisional measures based solely on the question of intent and the quotes by Israeli leaders.

Saw you talking shit in another thread. You ever get around to reading this? Or maybe you're too afraid to realize that you're wrong.

So if Dems wanted to avoid that future, don't you think it would be smart of them to run someone that people actually want to vote for? Like if they cared about actually preventing that, wouldn't they choose someone who isn't this controversial. They have had since October to bring someone else up. They have 9 more months to run someone right now with Biden's endorsement. They won't, because they don't care about representing what the people want (to avoid dictatorship) they just want to keep power in the hands of the people they've chosen for you.

Biden has shown himself to be either unwilling or unable to reign in or stop Israel. They don't believe the US will do anything to stop them, and so far, they have been proven correct. The rhetoric under Biden will be different than under Trump. But the outcome will be the same. Sorry that I'm not appeased by a milquetoast centrist urging Israel to take it easy.

Yeah, like I said. Try it again with the understanding that you're point of view is not one held by experts who reviewed the same material. See if that changes anything.

Also, if you can't regard me as a reasonable person for not wanting to vote against my own beliefs and interests, then you absolutely do give a whole lot of shits about what I do with my vote. You give so many shits, that some people might even call it unreasonable that you can't let a grown person make up their own mind.

And dems will never give that to you. If they wanted to, they would have done so by now. But you're entitled to you're belief that I have simply thrown my hands up instead of wrestling with this question for months. Voting for Biden will just make life hell for different people. Not fewer, in my view.

So if you're cool with me telling you that you're acting like an asshole, then go ahead and tell me what to do But don't act surprised when people get pissed at you.

The ICJ disagrees. They believe it is plausible that Israel is committing genocide right now and they have issued preliminary orders to prevent further deaths. Do you think you know more about Israel's responsibilities under international law to prevent genocide than 17 judges sitting on the the ICJ? Do you believe that you know more than them? Or do you just take Israel at they're word.

Not if Biden steps down and endorses a replacement that doesn't endorse a genocide.

Should probably give South Africa's case a read as well. 84 pages of facts that are pretty damning for Israel that were convincing enough for these judges. Maybe your bias presented you from believing the facts before your eyes?

"I'll bet Israel is already in compliance with it." They aren't. Which is why the court needed to issue preliminary orders at all.
