Classici Stranieri

*The UN court in The Hague told Israel
it must “take all measures
within its power”
to desist from killing Palestinians in contravention
of the genocide convention, and to prevent and punish the incitement
of genocide and facilitate the provision of “urgent basic services”.

The court did not find Israel guilty of genocide, but seems to
consider Israel’s conduct as leading in that direction, hence orders
to make sure it does not commit genocide.

I think that ruling is right for the facts of the situation: Israel’s crimes include mass
killing of civilians, and potentially many more. That doesn’t amount to genocide —
this far — but it is an enormous crime.
