incitement to genocide

The other day I went to see a mock trial of Ahmadinejad on charges of incitement to genocide put on by the Simon Weisenthal Centre. It is clear that genocide can use weapons like ovens, machetes, or bombs and it is still genocide. To his credit Cotler has brought the suggestion to try Ahmadinejad in an international court on a private members bill to the Canadian parliament. However my question is as follows. If we want to try Ahmadinejad before an international court, why is Cotler and most of the world supporting a two state solution? Both Hamas, which will probably govern a Palestinian state, and Fatah, are undoubtedly guilty of inciting to genocide. It is only necessary to look at their constitutions and their hatred expressed in their children's books and radio and TV programing to see the truth of this. Why support the establishment of a state whose leaders are already guilty of inciting to genocide? It may be politically correct, but isn't it suicidal?
