I’m afraid it is genocide Jill, and your husband throwing in a few snacks after 6 months of throwing in bunker busters via the Israeli army isn’t going to change that.
It’s sad that the pro Palestine left doesn’t understand what genocide is, seems like they’re on a mission to make the term meaningless, making its misuse their call to action.
according to Article 2 of the UN’s Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide
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:
Killing members of the group; Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group; Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part; Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group; Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group.how the actual fuck, after all these months, can anyone say that is not what is happening??
Hamas is not a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, and that is who Israel says they intend to destroy.
this is just asinine, the genocide is blatantly and obviously against the Palestinian people
also, you don’t need to upvote your own comments, other people will do that if you say something worth readingNo it obviously isn’t. The deaths of Palestinian civilians are collateral damage, while Israel’s tolerance for collateral damage has gone up the intent is not to destroy them. They have been very clear about intent: to destroy Hamas and get the hostages back, to achieve meaningful safety for Israel. If Hamas surrendered the war would end, because that is who this war is on.
If they wanted to destroy Palestinian civilians I suspect they could make all of Gaza into a crater in an afternoon. Why don’t they? Because Israel is not genocidal, no matter how often you repeat the mantra.
I’ll upvote what I please.
just standing on a mountain of dead and starving children and babies…
This is fine because they said they’re aiming for Hamas!
It’s a shame you don’t know what genocide is. Maybe we could do more to prevent it if people weren’t deliberately ignoring it.
I do know what genocide is, and this isn’t it. See the other comment in this thread.
