    The problem with that reading is we already know Israel is on the wrong side of the genocide convention (bolding mine):

    https://www.un.org/en/genocideprevention/genocide.shtml

    "In the present Convention, genocide means any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such:

    a. Killing members of the group;
    b. Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group;
    c. Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part;

    d. Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group;
    e. Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group."

    Israel is already engaging in A, B, and C. So it’s not a matter of telling them to not do something they are currently not doing.
