In reply to the discussion: No, pro Palestinian leftists, Israel is not committing genocide [View all]Beastly Boy
(13,283 posts)But why call for removal of the post that counter-argues the fallacy of accusing Israel of genocide on the basis of numbers?
After all, the numbers, which, as you noted, do not play into the definition of genocide but were nevertheless the core of the frequently stated Hamas' strategy in their war with Israel, have routinely been cited as the basis for accusations by the pro-Palestinian activists.
My objection to your post was the bolded emphasis on the "in part" of the definition. I objected to this emphasis, noting that it diverts attention from the fundamental role of intent in the definition of the crime - another fallacy frequently used by the pro-Palestinian activists.
This was in no way an argument against the Holocaust Museum definition. On the contrary, I was affirming it.
