uhuh. Ok so next, why not put next to those countries terrorist groups that have in their charter the specific desire to exterminate those country's people, and then see how they respond.

What is the ICJ, why does it exist, and why should anyone care that Iceland wants to prosecute a case there? The constant appeals to international law, with little to no strength to back them up, do nothing but make Europe look weak and condescending.

Iceland is essentially admitting the evidence doesn't meet the legal standard for genocide, so their solution is to simply lower the standard. If you have to argue that 'other reasonable explanations' should be ignored, you aren't proving a crime—you're just engineering a foregone conclusion.

Imagine a murder trial where the prosecution says, 'Sure, there’s a perfectly reasonable explanation for why the defendant was there, but we should just ignore that so we can get the conviction we want.' That’s Iceland’s logic here. Clown show.
