One would hope, you will disengage from something you clearly have no knowledge of, unless it fits your agenda, whatever that is.

As do your opinions on anything to do with this subject.

I'm sure they will be highly bothered by a member of AN's opinion of the UNSC/ICC, not.

Yes, I have read the definitions. As far as what they "I take it you mean the ICC, or the UNSC" they should, as the highest legal authorities of the World be the ones to determine who, or what was committed by whom, or don't you agree with that?

They are classed as major powers because they have deliverable Nuclear Weapons.

Based on the legal definitions used by the International Criminal Court (ICC) and the UN Genocide Convention, there is no formal, recognized finding that the State of Palestine is committing genocide. In contrast, as of late 2025, the UN Independent International Commission of Inquiry (COI) on the Occupied Palestinian Territory and Israel has officially concluded that Israel’s conduct in Gaza satisfies the legal definition of genocide.

I agree that HAMAS, and other terrorist groups committed atrocities on the 7th Oct 2023, whether there is a case of Genocide, or War Crimes against Israel is up to debate by them, the ICC. As far as I know, the ICC named the Hamas leaders, alongside Israel's leaders for arrest, but the Israeli forces summarily executed them before any trial.

As of September 2025, 157 of 193 UN member states recognize the State of Palestine. Major powers like China, Russia, the UK, and France have recognized it. Palestine has been a non-member observer state in the UN General Assembly since November 2012. Despite recognition, the territory (West Bank, East Jerusalem, Gaza) remains under Israeli occupation. The recognition is largely symbolic, as it does not translate to full control over borders or people. Recognition generally covers the territories occupied by Israel in the 1967 conflict, with final borders intended to be determined through negotiations. The US does not currently recognize a Palestinian state, and the Israeli government has opposed these recognitions, viewing them as a threat to their security and a reward for terrorism.

Islamophobia is driven by a combination of media misrepresentation, political rhetoric, and structural racism that frames Muslims as a threat to "Western values". It is fuelled by negative stereotypes, the "war on terror" narrative, and right-wing nationalist movements, often increasing during times of conflict or political tension.

You got nowt , so you post rubbish, lol

The same can be said in reverse. The State of Israel is committing Genocide on Palestinians and is working to eradicate Palestine.

So in your opinion who should police the atrocities committed on independent States by others, for whatever reasons?

There will never be peace, while Israel runs Gaza and the West Bank as "Occupied Territories" they are both part of the State of Palestine, and should be left to there own people to govern.

Non-Membership: As a non-party, Israel argues the ICC lacks jurisdiction over its actions and views proceedings as politically motivated. Active Investigations: Despite not being a member, the ICC's Pre-Trial Chamber has ruled it has jurisdiction over the situation in the State of Palestine, which includes actions by Israeli nationals in the West Bank and Gaza. Arrest Warrants: In 2024, the ICC Pre-Trial Chamber issued warrants of arrest for Israeli officials, including Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Minister of Defence Yoav Gallant, for alleged war crimes and crimes against humanity, rejecting challenges to its jurisdiction. Significance of Non-Party Status: While Israel is not a member, this status does not prevent the court from exercising territorial jurisdiction if crimes are committed on the territory of a state party (Palestine).
