"Nicaragua drags Germany to ICJ for ‘facilitating Israel’s genocide’ in Gaza"

  Could this be the start of accusing all those supporting Israel's Genocide, in violation of international law, the Genocide Convention?

"Managua accuses Berlin of violating the Genocide Convention by funding Israel’s war on Gaza."

 "More than 30,000 Palestinians have been killed and about 7,000 remain missing since Israel launched its brutal assault on October 7 [AFP]"

"Nicaragua has sued Germany at the International Court of Justice (ICJ) for funding Israel and cutting aid to the UN Palestinian refugee agency (UNRWA), the court announced on Friday."

"The Latin American country accused Berlin of violating international law in its continued funding for Tel Aviv and asked the ICJ to order emergency measures that would force Germany to cease military aid to Israel, and restart funding to the UNRWA."

“By sending military equipment and now defunding UNRWA which provides essential support to the civilian population, Germany is facilitating the commission of genocide,” Nicaragua said in its filing, citing the 1948 Genocide Convention and the 1949 Geneva Conventions on the laws of war in the occupied Palestinian territories."

"Germany is a key ally of Tel Aviv, and is one of its biggest arms providers alongside the United States, according to UN experts."

"A hearing date is not yet known, however, the ICJ, also known as the World Court, usually starts proceedings on requests for emergency measures within weeks."

"At least nine UNRWA donors, including the United States, Germany, Switzerland, Canada and the United Kingdom, suspended funding after allegations that about 12 of the tens of thousands of Palestinians employed by the agency were suspected of participating in Hamas’s October 7 attacks in Israel."

But Israel has yet to provide evidence to UN investigators more than a month after it made its claims."

How can major countries stop supporting UNRWA, who is helping the Palestinian people, on such unsubstantiated accusation?  These countries are bent on helping Israel's Genocide, and thus violate international law.  What else can it be?
