      Nice move is this man working working with Navi Pillay, I knew he would start with Bosnia, currently there are only a few cases out there in regards to genocide.
      As someone who was in that conflict 91 to 93 , genocide law is limited and tricky.

    I get pissed when people talk about this like it's some complicated thing. It's looking at Israel's actions, and looking at the definition, and whenever an action corresponds to a criteria of the definition, you check that criteria. If a sufficient number of elements of the definition of genocide are met, then you call it genocide, because it is genocide by definition!!

      The purpose of the genocide convention is PREVENTION - allowing UN members to take action when there is a clear possibility that any aggressive action by a State may lead to genocide. Whether a case can be proven or not is irrelevant, the crucial point here is to prevent it in the first place or to stop it if it has already begun. That is what the members of the UN have responsibility for.

    The ICJ ruling in the case of Bosnia and Herzegovina vs Serbia was a joke. A lot of evidence that was used in the Milosevic trial wasn't used in the case of B&H vs Ser. Serbia was very much involved and complicit. In May of 1992, Serbia's military formally left Bosnia and Herzegovina, but weaponry and men were left there, they just changed the emblem on their uniforms. Besides, Serbia organized paramilitary forces, sent their own special police forces, sent weapons and money, helped mobilisation to the formally Bosnian Serb army, which was really Serbia's army. Serbia was paying wages and later also pensions to soldiers and officers. It was a very clear cut case, which was partly botched by the Bosnian side, and the ruling was partly political, because it would have been too costly for Serbia due to reparations that Bosnia and Herzegovina would have the right for, which could push Serbia closer into the arms of Russia, instead of European integrations.
    Also, I believe that the term "ethnic cleansing" was coined in relation to the war in Bosnia and Herzegovina, mainly because the international community didn't want to use the word genocide, because then they would be obliged to act, or at least lift the embargo on weapons import and allow the Bosnian government and army to arm themselves and be able defend their country and people. If that happened, I wouldn't be in diaspora now, and several members of my family and friends would very likely still be alive.

    Why is he so reticent to conclude it's genocide? If you use the UN convention on the prevention and punishment of the crime of genocide. Intent is clearly established, and Israel's actions meet 2 of the 4 acts, that constitute genocide. Actions calculated to bring destruction in whole or in PART, and killing or inflicting psychological harm--among other things--in whole or in PART. If you can't see that the sufficient conditions for the UN convention on the prevention and punishment of the crime of Genocide have been met, then it really calls into question his expertise and credentials as a lawyer. It's seriously so clear by law. What the hell is going on here? It's not even a nuanced example of meeting the definition of genocide. Just so clear.

    The Russell Tribunal on Palestine session held in Cape Town in 2011 found that Israeli government conduct towards Palestinians meets the international legal criteria of apartheid as a crime against humanity in terms of the Rome Statute 7 (1)(k). The RToP session in New York in 2012 found that Israel was engaged in "incremental genocide". The RToP session in Brussels in 2014 confirmed that Israel's war on Gaza met the criteria of "war crimes". This year's 2023 Israeli genocide in Gaza has clearly and deliberately intended to kill 2.3 million Gazans by bombings (supplied by the US), starvation and illnesses.

    Among the horrific images coming out of Gaza, are images of children and babies who have required amputation of damaged limbs, something that, if you can even survive without adequate aftercare (sanitary conditions and antibiotics to prevent deadly infections) will leave.these.children (estimated at over a thousand so far) permanently disabled. My question is who, or what entity, will be responsible now for their care as disabled children,? Many are also orphaned by the indescriminant bombings. Since the supply of bombs comes from the US, making the US a facilitator of this brutality, isn't it the US who is obligated to support and care for these victims? Maybe the US also.has earned the responsibility to take care of all the survivors of this ethnic cleansing atrocity?

      I sincerely believe that account is not an everyday citizen and practicing Muslim. Although, they seem to really want us to think otherwise. The accounts comment history that is visible when you click their pic is just the same phrase repeated in replies to random comments, nothing else. This "person" only recites religious musings while providing no context? What does that communicate to other commentors? This person has a brain that is singularly focused on their religion with no other thoughts or opinions... even on the topic of genocide. My hunch is that this youtube channel's practice of consistent, good faith conversations and engagement with reality (as opposed to mainstream medias prevailing practice of gaslighting citizens with half truths or flat out false narratives) has likely aroused suspicion from those who would prefer the world continue believing that the core issue stems from Muslims irrational hatred of Jewish people. I know thats a lot to assume from very little to go on, but my gut feeling is hardly ever wrong. Even when my hunches are proven accurate, I still cant articulate what led me to my conclusions. I think its some kind of subconscious pattern recognition perhaps? I dunno, I could be wrong, just throwing it out there anyway.

    What was the gist of this expert's opinion that he submitted? That doesn't seem to get covered. Much of the time he is being so pessimistic and skeptical that it's frustrating to watch. The interviewer should have done more to mitigate the grumpy-old-white-guy-who-has-no-horse-in-the-race personality and bring the focus away from this repitious vague hedging. There's so much skepticism here it seems he could just as easily write an opinion that supports the dismissal of any charges. Not that he should be banging on his desk insisting Biden and Bibi be dragged out of office and into a gulag; the interviewer should have done more to get to something more concrete and less deconstructive. You guys can afford the skepticism and pessism, especially about the dessimation of a non-european culture that people were barely giving attention. But many of us do not have that luxury and privilege so please in future indulge us better and don't be so nervous about making clear statements of your opinions and position.

    This is great news, I'm glad somebody is at court trying to do something about this.
    One observation: cutting off the water and electricity. I looked at photos of a large number of buildings bombed by Israel. And suddenly I understood why they had cut off the water and electricity. Destroyed electric cables are exposed in many of the bombed buildings. If the electricity and water had not been cut off, there would have been massive electrocutions, with cut cables whipping around in the streets, and flooding caused by broken water pipes would have spread the electrocutions. Therefore, when Israel cut off the water and electricity, it knew it was going to bomb Gaza to rubble, and it didn't want its ground forces to face electrocution. In other words, cutting off water and electricity is an admission of intent to reduce Gaza to rubble. MENS REA.
