The NYT, BBC, CNN, among others emphasized the attacks on Israeli fans, while minimizing the anti-Arab racism that seemingly provoked much of the violence.

There’s a war against a deeply entrenched enemy in a dense urban environment with civilian deaths, but no genocide. If the IDF wanted to genocide Gaza, we would be at a million deaths at least by now.
Remember that Palestinian terrorists managed to kill more than 1000 Israelis in one day with mostly small arms. The IDF could easily kill ten times as much per day, if they wanted to. The number of bombs the IDF dropped on Gaza is higher than the number of dead Gazans. That‘s only possible if they try to minimize civilian deaths.
“Dense urban environment” jezz I wonder why it’s so dense lmao it’s a ghetto.
“They didn’t kill enough people” is a disgusting way to deny genocide.
“It wasn’t intentional”
“It was self defense”
The ICJ also always only talked about the danger of genocide, not that one is actually occurring.

“It wasn’t or isn’t ‘genocide,’ because …” They may enter definitional or rhetorical argumentation.
The ICJ have received threat from the United States, who literally threatened to invade the haag. Their words cannot be trusted anymore. Anybody would bow to this kind of pressure.
Meanwhile, the israeli, with their yank, german and british complicity, attacked Irish peacekeeper. If there was any justice, the rest of europe would attack the axis of evil (germany, britain, USA).
