It is irrelevant that South Africa might have tried a different case, it's irrelevant that they may care about some war crimes and not others, irrelevant where the funding might be coming from, what their motivation may be for trying this case and it's irrelevant that may be experiencing political woe. None of these have any bearing on the credibility of the legal arguments being made. Discrediting the character of the source of an argument does not change the veracity of the argument; it stands or falls on its own merits. While you've raised a lot of interesting questions, they are separate and distinct from the question "is Israel committing/has Israel recently committed war crimes", which is what the court is hearing.

P.s. his confident, yet flawed rhetoric belies the shaky legal ground he stands upon. I thought that would be implicit.

It’s not irrelevant. This isn’t a court, this is meme discussion sub. Are you confused where you are?

Oh I've hit a nerve. That wasn't my intention. I'll leave you to it, mate.

What a weird response.

I'm a weird guy I suppose. Laters!

Hang on, were you misunderstanding my reference to "the court"? Had you forgotten that we're discussing a court case? You did mention it in your reply.
Yet you thought I was referring to this forum as a court, is that what you were saying here?
Have another read of it, and take your time by all means.
