On 26 January 2024, the ICJ said that it was plausible that Israel had breached the Genocide Convention.>

That is not what they ruled. In this video the former head of the ICJ clarifies the ruling: https://www.bbc.com/news/av/world-middle-east-68906919 "Ms Donoghue explained that the court decided the Palestinians had a “plausible right” to be protected from genocide and that South Africa had the right to present that claim in the court."

And I really don't care what biased groups say about Israel. Did you know that back in 2014, the last time there was major armed conflict between Israel and Hamas, critics were accusing Israel of committing genocide then...when the death toll was a whopping 2500 people? All they're doing is diluting the meaning of the term so much that it carries no weight anymore.
