    stop using the word genocide willy-nilly. You’re essentially the Boy who cries Wolf.

    What happens in Gaza is awful and there are definitely WarCrimes. But a Genocide is on a whole other Level.

      Nope. It’s a genocide under the UN definition which is the agreed international definition.

        Under the UN Definition you need to prove that there is an Intent.

        Fo on, Prove it then.

          Just check the ruling party’s public comments. They’re more than willing to admit to it.

      Go read a single damn book about genocide and then say that again. Go read South Africa’s 84 pages. And then Go fuck yourself.
