      Not that this was a real answer to my comment but by your criteria, was there ever a genocide? US did a lot to unexist the indigenous peoples (boarding schools count as well by the way because that also eliminates the cultural identity) but they still exist and so it was no genocide or did they try and didn’tsucceed? Neither was the Shoa? Or the nazis didn’t have the time? And the Israeli state could have be done by now but the fact that the genocide is still going on is proof that there is no intent to be faster?

      That is just factually wrong. The legal definition, as is in the UN convention on the prevention of genocide defines “in whole or in part”. If you watch the trial the judges repeat it multiple times and show why they see the case by South Africa as plausible
