Was the vietnam war a genocide? The US killed ~600,000 civilians during the Vietnam war.
You drug it into this.
To be clear, discussing the Vietnam war is just fine, and more than that, important. But this isnt that.
Edit a distinct thread on such a topic is welcome and appropriate.
Any nation that intentionally blockades food, medicine, and potable water to a population it considers inconvenient is a government internally committing genocide.
Indeed and israel has very clearly expressed intent.
Sbrenica had 8000 people killed and was deemed a Genocide. And the statements there were far less severe than the extreme genocide rhetoric from israel.
High civilian casualties means genocide. Duh. Hamas wants high civilian casualties. So that way they can make people call this a genocide. That gets people on their side. Hamas literally committed genocidal acts but the number of deaths was much less so people don’t care as much. Hamas was literally targeting Jewish people in general. Israel is targeting Hamas members not Palestinians. Unfortunately Hamas took the last 17 years building tunnels underneath civilians. So there are a lot of unfortunate civilian casualties trying to get to Hamas and its leaders. Israel should do better but I’m afraid it’s very difficult with the logistics of this fight. It’s a terrible situation all the way around.
Israel totally is a normal country, and not an apartheid state committing genocide threatening the ICC Chief Prosecutor AND THEIR FAMILY!
Apartheid against a people that has gone to war with you and lost multiple times? I suppose post WWI germany was also an apartheid state. Or even post WWII japan.
