    Whether pro-Israeli bots like it or not, numerous acts by IDF do fit perfectly into descriptions of the acts forbidden by the convention. Even if the case is eventually dismissed it will be on technical grounds such as “it’s actually a war crime not a genocide” not because “IDF did nothing wrong”.

        “You call that a genocide‽”

        On a serious note, the amount of countries that have committed genocide is a staggering amount.

    Is anyone seriously surprised? The only country Germany has been more in love with is Russia, Putin’s Russia to be precise.
