Harvard Law School once produced brilliant legal scholars who contributed much to our society. Now, it harbors and panders to social engineers with no intellectual discipline who almost always get things wrong. Here is a perfect example. There is simply no definition of genocide that applies to Israel — but Harvard Law students don’t care. algemeiner.com/2024/03/29/har…
@DavidM_Friedman This self-impressed retired bankruptcy lawyer believes he knows better than the judges of the International Court of Justice who ruled 15-2 that it is plausible that Israel is committing genocide. They had the option of ruling that it is not plausible, and they did not do so.
@banumanush @DavidM_Friedman Know nothings are like the kid in the tree who asks how did I get here?
@banumanush @DavidM_Friedman They nowhere said that genocide is being committed. At most, they say that there is a risk of the rights of the genocide convention being violated in the future. Read both opinions. Also recall that the ICJ did not order a ceasefire as a provisional measure, as SA requested.
@banumanush @DavidM_Friedman I find it horrific that this grandfather seems to ignore and thereby condone the slaughter of so many innocent young children. There is no excuse for this man to disrespect and nullify all those young innocent souls.
@banumanush @DavidM_Friedman The ICJ's order doesn't come close to finding that Israel is committing genocide. The finding of "plausibility" is almost meaningless, because in ICJ practice it only means "possible," so the case continues to the stage of hearing actual evidence. voelkerrechtsblog.org/de/plausibilit…
@banumanush @DavidM_Friedman Plausible means there is a case to be looked at. Not that it is true.
@banumanush @DavidM_Friedman This isn’t even accurate summary of the opinion. Laughable.
@banumanush @DavidM_Friedman The International Court that’s a bunch of non elected officials who were appointed not elected ? They’ve earned their horrible reputations….
@banumanush @DavidM_Friedman Icj is a sham. Explain how fighting a defensive war is genocide. Explain how if even 30k Gazan's have been killed and 1/2 are Hamas soldiers, how it is genocide. Genocide is wiping out a population, not deaths from fighting a war. There are over 2 million Gazans
@banumanush @DavidM_Friedman You are a liar & a coward. You support a foreign terrorist entity, Hamas. That makes you evil like them.
