The US Government can stop this genocide

122. Yes, a little knowledge can be dangerous but so is a closed mind.

I said I was not sure about genocide but it seems to me that 10,000 people killed could be construed that way. Willful starvation of a couple million people and cutting off water and medicine would probably be considered genocidal intent. Genocide when they actually start dying from starvation. Either way it's an ugly, inhuman business.

Israel has practiced ethnic cleansing on a large scale on two prior occasions, both under the fog of war and under the guise of self-defence. You know about the Nakba and the Naksa. Over a million Palestinians displaced in total. I would hope that number meets your requirements for ethnic cleansing.

So it's not a far stretch to think they would do it again under the guise of self-defence amidst the fog of war.

Displacing Gazans by crowding them into half of their territory, under threat of bombing, qualifies pretty much as ethnic cleansing. Using occupying powers to displace Palestinians in the West Bank and confining them to scattered enclaves to make room for colonizing settlers in a large portion of the West Bank lands seems like a pretty efficient way to "cleanse" the land you desire for your own people. The areas occupied by the settlers are ethnically homogenous and these areas are growing by leaps and bounds. No Palestinians allowed. I don't know, seems like ethnic cleansing to me.

I'll share my little knowledge of the 3-hour evacuation window. There was a thread on it earlier.
