“They should not be the final authority anymore.”
And who should be? Creating something new that the whole world agrees on seems like a hard task right now.
I’d rather accuse a country of genocide too soon than being a fucking denialist.
It’s not that we agree on whether it’s a war or whether children die. It’s a Genocide accusation, which is pretty much the hardest accusation possible. My view: I don’t want to accuse a country too soon.
I’d rather get called a denialist for now reason (just, because I don’t throw the hardest accusation on the target) than potentially having to back-pedal later. I think, that our language(s) has/have a lot of potential to describe the terrible things that happened in Israel on Oct 7th and in Gaza since then (which is the opposite of denial) without using the word “Genocide” like there was already a decision by the ICJ.
What are you afraid off? Less people dying?
What is your hope by using the word before there is a ICJ decision? Less people dying? Because I don’t see a causal connection there.
