That’s not how international law works. If a nation provides aid to another nation, like the US does for Israel, and Israel breaks international law, the repercussions are solely on Israel. If the aid is provided to an independent group rather than a sovereign nation, like Iran supplying the Houthis, Iran could be held responsible for the actions of the Houthis.
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.
You’re right. It turns out genocide has different rules than war in international law. The ICC would first need to declare Israel’s acts to be genocide before holding its supporters accountable.
I hold education over ego. If I’m proven wrong, I’ll admit it and see it as an opportunity to learn. With all of the misinformation that’s pumped our way, we need to work together to cut through all of the lies.
ICC needs to come after Neyanyahu and Biden

International law forbids aiding those committing war crimes.
Us aiding Ukraine = not war crime
Iran aiding supplying Houthies to stop Genocode = not war crime
Supporting Genocide = massive war crime.
I agree that it’s wrong, but I don’t see that in international law. Do you have a source?
Yeah sure, they sued Germany which is a member of the ICJ instead of America which doesn’t recognize it.
Nicaragua drags Germany to ICJ for ‘facilitating Israel’s genocide’ in Gaza

I feel like I just saw a unicorn.

I can tell. You have my respect for that, and I fully agree about combatting misinformation.
Misinformation is the most damaging thing impacting societies globally right now.
