Shortly after South Africa made its complaint to the ICJ, Pennsylvania's John Fetterman offered his take on the issue.

Who are they really fighting? In a group of cowards, they hide in tunnels. They hide behind civilians. They attack, kill, and mutilate children and women, and they do that...Stop talking about proportion on that. They shot their best shot on October 7. And they would've taken more lives if they could have, but they couldn't do it. And now, also let's talk about that. Now we're talking about genocide. And now South Africa, now, is bringing that kind of...to trial. Maybe South Africa, maybe you ought to sit this one out when you're talking about criticizing anybody. Sit it out. //

Why does the UN even think the Geneva convention s apply? AFAIK the convention was and is an agreement between nations. Members are not bound to the conventions when they are in conflict with a non signatory or a party that has blatantly ignored the conventions. Hamas has never been a signatory and Oct 7 would have been a blatant violation.
