Palestinians say this war is robbing them not only of their loved ones but also of the funeral rites that long have offered mourners some dignity and closure in the midst of unbearable grief. Israeli strikes have killed so many people so quickly that they’ve overwhelmed hospitals and morgues, making the normal rituals of death all but impossible.
Overflowing morgues have compelled hospitals to bury people before their relatives can claim them. Gravediggers have laid dozens of unidentified bodies side by side in two large backhoe-dug furrows in Gaza City now holding 63 and 46 bodies, respectively, said Mohammed Abu Selmia, the general director of Shifa Hospital.
A single stray rocket from within Gaza killed 500 people. Israel has dropped over 10,000 bombs so far. If Israel was trying to commit genocide or intentionally hit civilians the numbers would be astronomical with regards to death toll. It is, of course, terrible that there is 7000+ dead, but a word like genocide has a specific meaning, and to use it in this context takes weight away from the word and therefore marginalizes the term being used for ACTUAL genocides.
Oh, well if some random schmuck on the internet says it isn’t genocide I guess we should ignore the UN human rights expert.
The literal Holocaust scholars warning of genocide probably don’t know what they’re talking about either.
Go home everyone, it’s fine for Israel to blast open as many children as they deem necessary.
Albanese at the UN, who is quoted in your article has a long and documented history of bias against Israel, not to mention the UN itself, which has condemned Israel more than any other nation, even while 300,000 people were being slaughtered in Soudan and Al Assad killed 550,000 of his own citizens (100,000+ were women and children) using chemical weapons - the UN still fixated on the Arab Israeli conflict, which while tragic, has killed at max, an estimated 100,000 over the last 75 years. It is actually one of the least bloody conflicts in modern history. Not that dead civilians is ever a good thing, but if I were to focus all my time and attention on a conflict due to human rights violations or the number of dead babies, there are at least a half a dozen conflicts to focus on before you come to Israel/Palestine.
All I heard was you rapidly scrolling past the literal Holocaust scholars warning about genocide.
I wasn’t going to give that uncredible source and those cherry-picked “holocaust scholars” any credence.
Translation: they keep opposing our war crimes and apartheid making us look bad boohoo
The only thing this proves is that Albanese has a functional backbone - unlike you.
Oh, are the white supremacists still clinging to this debunked bullcrap? Do what all right-wingers do, Clyde… run for the next big lie.
Don’t worry, that 500 number is bullshit, the parking lot wasn’t even big enough to house that many people, let alone with all the parked cars blocking the way.

You’re not funky at all and certainly not butter.
Has it ever hit you that this is the number Israel has been able to get away with? How many more do they need to kill to turn the world against them? Hopefully not many. Look around, so many countries and experts have called it a genocide. Let’s wait for you, regular jackoff on the internet, to tell us what’s what lol
You’re so disgusting in your way of thinking. I made a special tag for you.
Also, this is what they mean when they say every few years we have to mow the lawn: literally killing Palestinians, because their fragile bodies are threatened by merely the existence of other people.
Your ancestors that survived the Holocaust are rolling in their graves right now. Shame on you for becoming what you hated.
You do know that there is thousands of innocent people dead,thousands.So in any right minded human being thats genocide
