In an opinion piece published in The Hill news website under the name Genocide or not, Israel has lost the moral high ground, Avraham Shama, suggested that "Israel will likely be found guilty of committing genocide against Palestinians in Gaza by the International Court of Justice."

"If so, the court could call for an immediate cease-fire and consider compensation for Gazans," Shama said, pointing out that, "Even if the court would not find guilt, Israel had already lost the war in Gaza, as did the United States."

The writer highlighted that in its war on Gaza, the Israeli occupation has so far killed 23,210 people, wounded more than 59,000, and destroyed more than 70% of homes and buildings in the Strip.

He added that "Israel" emphasized that the war would continue for at least one more year and promoted the idea of displacing Gazans elsewhere. 

Shama indicated that "these are robust indicators of genocide," arguing that "even if Israel is acquitted, it has already lost the war from day one."

The writer claims that "The world’s public opinion was supportive of Israel’s right to retaliate" to the Palestinian Resistance's Operation Al-Aqsa Flood on October 7.

"But as the war progressed over the past three months, Israel had widened its scope and intensity," he noted, leading to the Israeli occupation's mounting political losses, including allies such as Britain, France, and Germany being increasingly critical of "Israel’s" actions during the war.

Shama recalled that US President Joe Biden's administration has been the only backer of the Israeli occupation, making it clear that without Washington's vetoes at the UN Security Council, "Tel Aviv" would have been ordered to immediately stop the war on Gaza.

The writer said that "Israel has proven to be vulnerable," and that Hamas has kept the war against assumingly "one of the most capable armies in the world" going for the past three months.

He suggested that such weakness by "Israel" has also been motivating action by Hezbollah, Iran, and the Yemeni Ansar Allah movement, adding that the Israeli occupation's partners such as the US "could conclude that Israel is not the ironclad ally it had been thought to be."
