"It's not genocide because they're not trying to murder everyone. Yes, they are killing everyone but it's not intentional."
What a stupid fucking piece of shit excuse.
Just a quick correction, the ICJ (where this is taking place) is the UN Judicial body. The ICC, established by the Rome Statute, is a different thing. If you’re a UN member, the ICJ has jurisdiction.

The ICC is also launching a war crimes probe, but as you noted, Israel and the US aren’t signatories so that might not amount to much.
