South Africa’s claim that Israel is committing genocide against the Palestinians, heard by the icj this week, cheapens the term. It risks weakening the taboo and body of law aimed at preventing it. It obscures the real worry that Israel’s destructive campaign is breaking the laws of war; and the fact that permanent occupation is wrong.Genocide is a uniquely horrific crime. Holocaust was seen as so monstrous that the un adopted the Genocide Convention, promising never again to allow an attempt to wipe out a group of people, or part of one, simply because of their nationality, race, religion or ethnicity. Do you think that ICJ should charge israel with genocide ?
