I used to go at enormous lengths debating my fellow Ukrainians (especially pro-Israel ones) telling them that if we lose the war, our situation will be very much like that of Palestine. People laughed at me.
"Russia and the United States have discussed Israel’s occupation of the West Bank as a model for ending the war in Ukraine"
“Ukraine will never give up its sovereignty. But the reality is it’ll be occupied territory and the model is Palestine.”
An abomination.

Ezra Klein's interview with Philippe Sands is very good overall.
But I want to reiterate that the ICJ has never said that the definition of genocide requires a "single intent."
Nor does the ICJ's standard of proof preclude a finding of genocide in cases of plural intent.

The prosecutorial approach of criminalising parents fleeing from horrors with their children -- to keep them safe -- on the ground that they are people smugglers is just pure cruelty.
The CJEU has ruled that Member States cannot prosecute asylum-seeking mothers who travelled on false documents with their children as people smugglers - in a judgment with broader implications for the criminalisation of immigration.
