BULLSHIT. It’s a genocide. Quit trying to sell us on the same tired shit.

On 26 January 2024, the ICJ said that it was plausible that Israel had breached the Genocide Convention. As an emergency measure, it ordered Israel ensure that its army refrained from genocidal acts against Palestinians.

The ICJ reported, as part of its decisions in March and May, that the situation in Gaza had deteriorated and that Israel had failed to abide by its order in January.

So, when we look at the actions taken, the dropping of thousands and thousands of bombs in a couple of days, including phosphorus bombs, as we heard, on one of the most densely populated areas around the world, together with these proclamations of intent, this indeed constitutes genocidal killing, which is the first act, according to the convention, of genocide. And Israel, I must say, is also perpetrating act number two and three — that is, causing serious bodily or mental harm, and creating condition designed to bring about the destruction of the group by cutting off water, food, supply of energy, bombing hospitals, ordering the fast evictions of hospitals, which the World Health Organization has declared to be, quote, “a death sentence.” So, we’re seeing the combination of genocidal acts with special intent. This is indeed a textbook case of genocide.

More than 800 scholars of international law and genocide have signed a public statement arguing that the Israeli military may be committing genocidal acts against Palestinians in the Gaza Strip as the total siege and relentless airstrikes continue to inflict devastation on the occupied territory.

An independent United Nations expert warned Monday that “Israel’s genocidal violence risks leaking out of Gaza and into the occupied Palestinian territory as a whole” as Western governments, corporations, and other institutions keep up their support for the Israeli military, which stands accused of grave war crimes in the Gaza Strip and West Bank.

Our documentation encompasses over 500 incitements of violence and genocidal incitement, appearing in the forms of social media posts, television interviews, and official statements from Israeli politicians, army personnel, journalists, and other influential personalities.

Yes, as everyone knows, if you accurately call out genocide when you see it, you actually want there to be genocide. You sick ghouls need to stop noticing genocide so I can go back to concern trolling in peace.

you can’t argue with the left wing nutjobs here.

they will conveniently lump israel as one body and then go on to separate hamas and palestine as if they are not one and the same.

Oct 7th gave israel an excuse to launch an all out against hamas,this is the result. if the palestinians want peace in the region,time to point to israel where these terrorists are hiding.

Do you know where your local terrorist cell is hiding? Surely the Mossad can figure all that out without murdering civilians?

Also, pretty ironic of you to lump left wing nut jobs together as one group…

Would it be better if we call it an alleged genocide until the dust settles?

I guess ethnic cleansing wouldn’t fit also? Seems more accurate.

That’s exactly what this is. It is Israel’s final solution after 80+ years of pograms against Palestinians.

countries will have to reckon—media agencies will have to reckon—with their major role in the genocide

“Hey, we maybe got it wrong, moving on we will never talk of this again.”

The reason why the world does not get better is that it is too easy for humans to refuse to learn from their mistakes. If another false dossier about Weapons of Mass Destruction came out about a country that it would be cool to go and blow up, as happened with Bush and Blair and Iraq, I don’t think enough people would learn from the past to put a stop to it. It’s more ‘patriotic’ to just go with the flow.

Usually because one or a few people profit one way or another by helping everyone forget the lessons.

Oh, but they had a pentagon under that one hospital! That’s why Israel bombed it. And then bombed all the other hospitals for good measure. Schools too. Oh, and those UN workers. And journalists. And ambulances. All had a mini pentagon in them.

Didn’t you see the dossier and the video footage published by the news media from that one time we let them film exactly where we pointed them to film, after we had set it all up for them?
