    genocide

    According to the 1948 international genocide convention, genocide constitutes “acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnic, racial or religious group.”

    There were around 250,000 people in Gaza in 1948. There are now more than 2 million.

      Holy shit, wow, it’s the exact same thing Nazis say about the Holocaust, just with different parties involved.

          Correct.

          BTW you’re free to amend your argument so that you don’t sound like a Nazi sounds when denying the Holocaust. Maybe try some facts or logic instead of pretending population growth since 1948 has anything to do with whether or not actions are genocidal in 2024. Up to you.

      There were 16 million Jews in Europe before the Holocaust. History tends to focus on how many were lost.

      I’m not waiting until after Israel succeeds at this before I call it what it is.
