An analysis of the Gaza MoH methodology, the exacerbating challenges it faces as the war continues, and estimates from independent researchers and humanitarian organisations.
Theorizing a large number of hypothetical deaths from indirect causes does not prove genocide.
Oh yeah cause the genocidal intent hasn’t been shown over and over again through the public statements put out there by sitting members of the Israeli government. We must all suffer from collective amnesia.
Comments by extremists in the immediate aftermath of a traumatic terror attack don’t establish genocidal intent. The actions over the past year clearly aren’t in line with those comments.
“immediate aftermath”
They’re still making those comments up to this day. They’re even attending conferences on settling Gaza where expelling Palestinians from their ancestral lands is a commonly discussed and widespread idea, which in turn constitutes ethnic cleansing and in combination with their statements and actions can amount to genocide.
I won’t discuss why water is wet. The fact that Israel is committing a genocide has been discussed by various UN officials, ICC officials, and experts on genocide. Go argue with them.
I don’t give a crap what has been “discussed” - the facts clearly show that they aren’t committing genocide. The world knows what an actual genocide looks like.
“”“the world”“” aka the five countries fueling the genocide with their own separate set of “”“facts”“”
You missed my point.
The world knows what genocide looks like because we’ve seen it. And it looks nothing like what is happening in Gaza.
You seem to talk for the entire world. I wonder who put you in charge.
What are you, 10 years old?
I wonder why Israel does not allow journalists into Gaza and has killed more than 170 Palestinian journalists?
It’s because Israel must really love the freedom of the press!
Israel doesn’t even allow humanitarian workers to enter Gaza. Which is a warcrime if anyone is counting.
Stop with the genocide denial

Deliberate Attacks on Civilians
Israel deliberately targets civilian areas. From in general with the Dahiya Doctrine to multiple systems deployed in Gaza to do so:

‘A mass assassination factory’: Inside Israel’s calculated bombing of Gaza

Where’s Daddy
Israel also targets Israeli Soldiers and Civilians to prevent them being leveraged as hostages, known as the Hannibal Directive. Which was also used on Oct 7th.
Stop with the genocide accusations. It’s offensive to people who have actually suffered genocides.
My ancestors did. They went through the Holocaust. Israel is committing a genocide.
It isn’t a genocide just because you say it is.
And it is nothing like the Holocaust. Not even remotely similar. There is literally nothing, not a single thing, that is similar.
Oh yeah, the singularity of the Holocaust. The same kind of thinking that empowers Germany to aide countries in committing all kinds of atrocities all around the world just because those will never be THE Holocaust, so it’s okay.
The Holocaust was unique and when someone feels the need to downplay it, that reflects very poorly on them.
