Honestly I’d just read South Africa’s court filing with the International Criminal Court (yes I know they’re hypocrites due to lukewarm attitudes to Putin’s actions but it doesnt change the facts in the specific case): https://www.icj-cij.org/sites/default/files/case-related/192/192-20240112-pre-01-00-en.pdf
You dont have to read all of it. Even scrolling and just stopping randomly comes up with sone of the most horrific shit the government of Israel is doing and the stuff high level administrators have advocated for and said.
If you think the “human animals” comments and policies are bad, it gets so much fucking worse :/
Here’s is the link to South Africa’s complaint: https://www.icj-cij.org/sites/default/files/case-related/192/192-20231228-app-01-00-en.pdf
I’m not sure what your link is but it’s very barebones.
I didn’t read the entire complaint but a couple things stood out to me.
The most sensational claims in the document come from questionable media sources, directly from the Palestinians authorities, or are attributed to often unnamed sources or just “reports.”
Many of the incidents alleged are repeated dozens and dozens of times throughout the document, in different contexts. A handful of war crimes, even if proven, in a war, does not make the war a genocide.
It’s a complaint, so it includes no facts from Israel’s side of the story; none of the intelligence, none of Israel’s public explanations or press releases or videos.
