Why does CNN put genocide in quotes in the article after the international court has already ruled that the actions in Gaza meet the definition?

PS: but also what the other person said.
Technically, they only ruled that genocide is plausible enough to hear the case (and that South Africa has a right to bring the case).
Guys. Vote in your interests. Sure Biden might be a complicit war criminal but the other guy is a domestic criminal who would be an enthusiastic war criminal given half a chance.
Secure your country from the Putin's pet orangutan for another four years, then rake Biden across the coals.
If we're lucky, we won't have to deal with either of them in 2028.
So... When your choices are between two war criminals, your first thought isn't that the system needs change but that we should vote for the war criminal with a track record of war crimes?

When will sweet death take them?
Hopefully before it takes us
Remember when the professionals were saying that Trump was an incompetent fascist and we should be worried about is the competent fascist that would come after him? Biden is that competent fascist. If Trump did half of what Biden did, it would be because he fucked it up half way.

Imagine thinking you'll even be able to legally protest if Trump is president.
Pelosi is already directing the FBI to investigate pro-Palestine protestors https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-news/pelosi-fbi-pro-palestine-protesters-russia-1234955648/
Is this what we can expect for every criticism of the Biden administration for the next year? All you are really telling swing voters is that their opinion is irrelevant. What do you think that will do for turnout? Why do you think the administration itself isn't making use of this brilliant electoral strategy? When Trump wins, you can thank the guy in the mirror.

Trump would probably bomb the shit out of Palestine.
It’s already been decimated. By Joe Biden.
If you think that’s a good enough argument, you are severely mistaken.

As if voting for Trump will end up better somehow. Trump would bomb Americans if they said something that hurt his feelings.
Literally no one said that.
The sign in the fucking image does.
Oh, you're right actually. Sorry. I meant no one in the discussion thread is saying that.
