Actually it's called aiding and abetting genocide.

I'm so furious at the press in my country for obfuscating the genocide and the ICJ ruling. And even more at my fucking government for aiding in the genocide directly by cutting funding to UN humanitarian aid. FUCKING FUCKERS

ICJ ruling? The one where they didn't order a ceasefire and just said don't commit genocide? Didn't get the nuance there did you? They didn't rule that Israel was committing genocide they just said "don't do it." Which yeah don't commit genocide.

Though the UN's credibility on this is in the toilet since it seems likely people on their payroll participated in the October 7 attacks.

Have you considered you might be getting information from flawed sources? Maybe that's why the press doesn't match what you're seeing on the internet. It's easy to lie on the internet. Actual news organizations have to consider their reputation and aren't going to report lies, not matter how popular those lies are with the kids.

Exactly! That was the headline meant to obfuscate the ruling! Oh they didn't order a ceacefire! I guess they can just continue! That is the propaganda in the western media. The ICJ ordered Israel to STOP KILLING PEOPLE OF THE GROUP because of risk of genocide?

Where they ordered Israel to provide humanitarian aid to the 1.5 million refugees without power, water, food and medical services that you occupy?

And on the same day as the ICJ ruling Israel reacts by cutting off humanitarian aid? Every war crime Israel commits we have to investigate and wait months and then it comes out Israel lied. But not here, just cut of humanitarian aid.... If that isn't an admission of the intent to commit genocide, what is?

Have you considered you might be getting information from flawed sources?

From the ICJ? From clips of Israeli politicians? How much more directly can you get? They are admitting it! They didn't even try to refute any of the facts presented by south africa!

not matter how popular those lies are with the kids.

And not it's not "popular"... it's absolute horror and I'm deeply ashamed of my government and the media for making my country complicit. It's not popular, it's disgust and shame and anger.
