As others have said, your comment is factually incorrect.John, the population of Gaza is higher than on Oct 7 2023.
Deaths. 74,000
Births. 120,000
How is this Genocide?
Also the crime of Genocide is not defined by the results, but by the actions and intentions for those actions.
In the ICC the evidence will be about what was intended, not what was achieved.
Legal Definition and Intent
- Specific Intent: The crime requires the "intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group."
- Inchoate Nature: Attempted genocide and conspiracy to commit genocide are also recognized as distinct punishable crimes.
- International Tribunals: Courts like the International Criminal Court and the International Court of Justice rule that actual physical destruction of a group is not required for the crime to exist.
Over 70,000 dead including women and children is shameful, not something to be dismissed as nothing to see here.
