UNO reverse is actually way less powerful in real life then the memes would lead you to believe Israel.

[–] agressivelyPassive@feddit.de 4 points 9 months ago

It's the ICJ reverse in this case.

Sounds like they're attempting to deflect from their trial.

"firehose of bullshit" in action.

They already did that with the UNRWA fake story

So where, exactly, is Iran supposedly committing genocide?

[–] athos77@kbin.social 25 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (1 children)

pointing out that Iranian leaders have called for Israel’s destruction and that Iran gives strong backing to Hamas and other Gaza terror groups that carried out the October 7 atrocities.

IMO, they think their defense case was damaged by all the comments senior Israelis have made calling for the genocide of the Palestinians, so now they're trying to defuse that argument.

If they're going after everyone that's backed Hamas, they'll be right there next to Iran in the docket.

Every accusation is a confession.

i'm not really up on what Iran has been doing-- they don't really have any ground to stand on here, do they?

[–] ashar@infosec.pub 3 points 9 months ago

From memory, Iran last invaded another country 300 years ago. Israel....

[–] Doods@infosec.pub 1 points 9 months ago

I shouldn't be replying to this as I am just as ignorant, but the last I heard of Iran is it has bombed US camps in Iraq as retaliation to the US-British attack on Yemen. (Normal Iranian behaviour if you ask me)
