    Also, ignore Western press trying to spin the ICJ's decision! They demanded that Israel take steps to prevent genocide, and then specifically defined that along very clear lines: killing members of the group, causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group and deliberately inflicting conditions of life calculated to bring about the destruction of the group in whole or in part.
