In reply to the discussion: Because I can't stand it any more [View all]Arazi
(6,879 posts)61. It's not a genocide. It's war
This is what war looks like.
I will repeat again, the singular focus on this war, and the condemnation for Israel only is ugly and suspect.
The complete lack of attention, angst, anger or horror about any of the other far worse conflicts in terms of casualties, cruelty and suffering going on right now or even within all of DUs history, just Israel is bullshit and antisemitic.
Its a war. This is what war looks like. Yall better buckle up because Israel isnt stopping until they feel their security objectives have been met.
Feel free to pile on. Im trashing this thread so have at it.

It seems the parliament or the people in Israel support Netanyahu. What do we do about that?

Israel has already committed the first three, and the definition calls for any one, not all five.

The definition of genocide contains two necessary conditions, the first of which is specific intent.

It is the specific intent to annihalate "the group as such" that must be shown.

The elements of the crime are the elements of the crime. That is not an argument. It is a fact.

I want innocent people to be able to live in peace and not be killed at random.

It isn't. This will be old news by late summer. Some other fucking crisis will supplant this.

This is what Hamas wants. They don't call it genocide, they call it jihad martyrdom.
