It's absurd that Israel must defend itself at the ICC against 'genocide' charges following 10/7 attacks

This week the state of Israel will appear before the International Court of Justice in the Hague on charges of 'genocide' against the people of Gaza. They were brought by South Africa.
Both the Geneva and Hague Conventions include instructions on conducting sieges under international law, and Israel has followed those rules to the letter. Dr. Mark Goldfeder is a former law professor and co-author of the five volume treatise "Religious Organizations and the Law" (Westlaw).
By all accounts, including South Africa’s, Israel has the undeniable military capability to completely destroy the entire Gaza Strip in a matter of minutes if it so desired. Noticeably, Israel has not done so, and instead has taken extreme measures to protect Gazan civilians. Compare that complete lack of genocide and/or genocidal intent with the actions and intent of Hamas, a group that does not have the capability to destroy Israel but has repeatedly and officially vowed to, and tried to commit genocide.
