Jon Stewart weighs in on the war in Gaza and offers up a solution for ending the conflict.
to get the Arab League to enforce a demilitarized zone between Palestine and Israel
Let’s say that this is what he’s saying. I don’t see you mentioning what Israel has to do, so this reading cannot not be a solution cause it leaves out the responsibilities of Israel. What would you put on the top of the list of what Israel has to do? My answer to that would be that Israel has to stop bombing and starving, civilians and children, as well as recognize Palestine.
On Genocide, Israel is doing at least 3 of the 5 required for one to be called as such. And ICJ court said “plausible” so far.
In the present Convention, genocide means any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such:
a. Killing members of the group;
b. Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group;
c. Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part;
d. Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group;
e. Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group.
I am not ignoring the first part, this is why every military action doesn’t qualify under that statute but Israel is “plausibly” doing a Genocide according to ICJ. Personally I don’t need a court decision to make up my mind.
Plausible does not mean probable
see dictionary for details?
Apart from that, you haven’t said anything about what are Israel’s responsibilities, and you actively ignored my specific question on the matter. We cannot talk solutions without that so I don’t see any point continuing this attempt to have a conversation.
Yes, it’s clear you’ve made up your mind, good thing you’re not a judge on the IJC misinterpreting the law.
I would say the most important thing Israel has to do is defeat Hamas, which means either destroying them or getting them to surrender, while not breaking the law. They have a responsibility to protect their own people and to honor their treaties. They’re letting in 100 humanitarian aid trucks a day into Gaza on average, each one has to be searched, protesters are blocking many of them, and many humanitarian aid organizations have decided it is too dangerous to send trucks, if that is not legally sufficient they need to let in more.

You’re ignoring that first part, without which every military action would qualify under that statute:
Israel’s started intent is to destroy Hamas, which is none of those protected groups.
Plausible does not mean probable. The ICJ didn’t order a cease fire, which would be odd if this was in fact a genocide.
