we conclude that Israel’s actions in and regarding Gaza since October 7, 2023, violate the Genocide Convention. Specifically, Israel has committed genocidal acts of killing, causing serious harm to, and inflicting conditions of life calculated to bring about the physical destruction of Palestinians in Gaza

I refuse to compare tragedies with you. Israel is committing acts of genocide and inciting such. What was done in the past against them is not an excuse for what they are doing now to others. Scale is different, but a banana is a banana regardless of size.
