Saudi Arabia’s top diplomat says the kingdom will not normalize relations with Israel or contribute to Gaza’s reconstruction without a credible path to a Palestinian state.
South Africa has accused them of genocide. You’re saying South Africa, a former apartheid regime that has since been liberated, is incorrect to do so? What gives you the authority to judge them so? Obviously it isn’t because you’ve read their filings with the International Court of Justice
I mean any state can go there. I also can go to the local court and say that someone is a mass murderer. However, until the court does not make the final decision, the person is considered innocent.
The UN definition is public knowledge. It’s not like it’s a secret we have to wait for the clerics to decipher. What they’re doing meets the definition.
Of course, the way Israel was created was not ideal. I do not agree that Israel should have forced people out.
Just like many Arab countries should not have forced Jews out.
But unfortunately, it’s not very feasible to return it to the previous state now…
A lot of countries have a right of return. It works just fine. They may not be able to get the family farm back, but we can’t win everything.
You see, we can’t win everything. Hence why we cannot “win” Palestine from the river to the sea.
Sure you can. Israel is doing it right now with genocide.
So far the international court has not decided on the genocide case, so it’s incorrect to accuse them of genocide now.
South Africa has accused them of genocide. You’re saying South Africa, a former apartheid regime that has since been liberated, is incorrect to do so? What gives you the authority to judge them so? Obviously it isn’t because you’ve read their filings with the International Court of Justice
Exactly, nothing gives me the authority to judge it. Same applies to you. As long as final decision is not made, we cannot accuse them of genocide.
Why can South Africa accuse them of genocide?
I mean any state can go there. I also can go to the local court and say that someone is a mass murderer. However, until the court does not make the final decision, the person is considered innocent.
The UN definition is public knowledge. It’s not like it’s a secret we have to wait for the clerics to decipher. What they’re doing meets the definition.
Not necessarily, proving the intention is the key to genocide accusations and it’s quite tough to prove.
Because half the ministry and the PM saying they need to clear it out and settle it isn’t proof of intent?
I doubt it is half of the government but some radicals support it. That’s, of course, awful and will make Israel’s life harder.
However, this logic cannot be 100% applied because in our parliament, we have a Nazi party and that does not equal we are a Nazi state.
