    I still don’t see “genocide” here.

    Said another way: “And if it was, does it matter?”

    You’re following the narcissist’s prayer to a tee.

      If it was i’d be advocating a counter-invasion of Israel and trials at the Hague. Don’t presume I support genocide just because I require evidence for it.

        If you really wanted to know the information is a single google search away: https://time.com/6334409/is-whats-happening-gaza-genocide-experts/

        Is what’s happening now a genocide?

        Raz Segal, the program director of genocide studies at Stockton University, concretely says it is a “textbook case of genocide.” Segal believes that Israeli forces are completing three genocidal acts, including, “killing, causing serious bodily harm, and measures calculated to bring about the destruction of the group.” He points to the mass levels of destruction and total siege of basic necessities—like water, food, fuel, and medical supplies—as evidence.

        That was so easy to find. If you really cared you could figure it out and not come here and make it everybody else’s problem. If you still don’t get it, it’s because you don’t want to. When you look for every opportunity to avoid the obvious conclusion of guilt, the narcissist’s prayer is the inevitable result.

        I suppose it’s good that public perception has shifted so far against this atrocity that this is what apologists have to stoop to. We’re not really seeing too many people saying “human shields” anymore.
