    Israel is not genocidal

    That is absolutely NOT the ruling of this court.

    "Judge Donoghue says the court has decided that Israel must “take all measures within its its power” to prevent all acts within the scope of the genocide convention.

    She adds that Israel must ensure “with immediate effect” that its forces do not commit any of the act in the genocide convention."

    Since Israel is the only force attacking Palestinians, the order to prevent all acts under the genocide convention “with immediate effect” means that the court IS in fact recognizing Israel is committing genocidal acts against the Palestinian people and that they, and they alone, have the obligation to stop it.
