If there were a place/way to do Zionism without ethnically cleansing or oppressing a native population, we would be in favor.
But the place/way that it's been done is:
a) morally repugnant;
b) more dangerous to Jews than not having a "Jewish state" at all.

Highly reliable testimony. You can see that they're under no pressure whatsoever. Certainly nothing that would qualify as, "cruel, inhuman, or degrading treatment," under international law.

This statement feels like one of the most dystopian moments in human history.
Not only have the Houthis demanded that the genocide end - it is the only demand that they have made.

Only the few people who actually read the full article will learn that it is really about:

We feel your pain. We hope you find comfort in the silver lining, whenever you're ready for it, that you can now empathize with what probably every single Palestinian living under Israeli military occupation has lived through at some point in their lives.
"If one attack, as barbaric as it was... pushes so many Israelis to become inhuman... imagine yourself what it does to Palestinians who live under those attacks for decades.
And we always wonder... 'How come they become those monsters?'... Here is the answer."

The sheer gall. Even the US State Department is referring to Israelis as "Jews"? As if the Palestinian resitance groups would have been perfectly happy with anyone ethnically cleansing & persecuting their people, if only it had not been done by "Jews".
@Alonso_GD
Just a note to point out that we are currently at the "provisional measures" stage, where the ICJ must merely rule whether claims of genocidal intent & genocidal commission are "plausible". (And order provisional measures if that is the case.)
Nothing must be "proven" for this.
@AvivaKlompas
They didn't even call for the death of Israelis, much less "Jews".
We always try to believe that it's your paranoia talking (and truly endless condolences for the historic persecution), but too many of these "misunderstandings" are so bizarre that they seem intended to deceive.

The sheer hideousness of this argument:
"If it was my own ancestors' suffering that inspired the Genocide Convention, then you must allow me to commit genocide when faced with a threat."
Never even mind that, in this case, the "threat" is due to my own occupation & oppression.

So all of you, demanding an end to the genocide (or, worse yet, a free Palestine), ask yourselves: which "arm of Hamas" are you?

While stripped naked and humiliated, they are being forced, at gunpoint, to speak out against Hamas leader Sinwar, or else who knows what else might be done to them.

This is not unlikely to be another one of those children that Israel had orphaned.
At the very least, one should recognize the existence of the vicious cycle (that's Step 1).
Step 2: Understand how the vicious cycle started (more than a century ago).
Step 3: Find a solution.

Hamas attacked Israelis because they are "Jews"? 😂
So they would have welcomed anyone ethnically cleansing and persecuting them. The only reason they fought back is because it was done to them by "Jews".

All it is missing is a mention of the fact that Netanyahu had argued that strengthening Hamas would be good, because it would keep the Palestinians "divided", thus providing Israel the excuse that there is no "partner for peace".

b) speak out when they see others suffering from colonization.

Many words have innocuous original meanings, but still have dangerous intended meanings. The issue here is that even the *intended* meanings of the word "intifada" never ever imply anything more than liberation, like that of Algerians or South Africans, from brutal colonial rule.
Just like river to the sea, they want to vilify the term intifada to repress resistance to their ethnic cleansing. The word means to shake off, and can encompass the full range of resistance. When we shake out a picnic blanket, we say “tinufid” it has the same root word.

Excellent.
Though we cannot see the ICJ allowing continued hostilities:
A. Even if a separate state attacked Israel, the court should find that Israel has far exceeded proportionality in its response. So how about an occupied territory?
B. Will the ICJ not fear further genocide?

The only way to ensure no future attacks by Palestinian resistance groups is to make these non-Jewish natives of the land "disappear". One way or the other.

That means that, by Israel's own logic, people must be forbidden from trying to "contextualize" Israel's genocide in Gaza:

We know, how about those South Africans, as well, right? Forcing an end to that apartheid regime (which basically means they committed "genocide" against whites), when they should have just chosen any other African country, and started building a new home, history, and identity.
Just like the USA was, by far, the world's greatest supporter of apartheid-era South Africa.
And classified Mandela as a terrorist for using violence to try to free his country from a US-allied colonial regime.
Incredibly, his efforts were never labeled "genocidal". Go figure.
