Comment on Israel’s attack on hospital in Gaza may constitute a war crime on many fronts

  The ICC prosecutes individuals, such as the arrest warrants for netanyahu and multiple other Israeli officials for war crimes. The ICJ prosecutes countries, such as the current case on the Gaza genocide.

  The ICJ reported, as part of its decisions in March and May, that the situation in Gaza had deteriorated and that Israel had failed to abide by its order in January.

  That was the previous year. The genocidal actions and statements have only escalated. Acting as if the court case exists in a vacuum, or that it can only be a genocide after the case is closed, only serves to run defense for Israel while the genocide continues unabated.
