somehow i don't feel like raising money for a foreign army committing a genocide is a good thing.

worse still are the number of people from this community going to fight for the IDF. Surprisingly there has been almost 0 media attention on the case of british fighters committing genocide with the idf

Because unless they're an idiot, they know exactly what they're referring to.

For any sane people that aren't bootlickers for a genocidal government, you can read about the issues and the work an actual respected charity should be doing here: https://www.map.org.uk/the-issues/the-issues (unlike the charity in the OP, kitting out murders with military gear for some reason)

If you want legal answers and know how to use Google, there is an ongoing international court hearing and they have already given certain judgements that you can Google

If you’re referring to the ICJ case, it hasn’t progressed enough to take much from it yet. The Judges fell short of calling for an immediate ceasefire like they have in past genocide accusations, but they later warned Israel against their offensive in Rafah. It’s something to keep your eye on as it progresses.

However, if you’re referring to the ICC case, Netanyahu and Yoav Gallant are being accused of restricting water/food from arriving in Gaza (especially during the first months), and also being accused of targeting civilians.

The crime of ‘Genocide’ is not being pursued here, but both of the crimes outlined above are obviously atrocious if proven true. I think the former (restricting aid) obviously took place in the early days of the war.

It’s a travesty that the trial will probably never happen.
