        Definition Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide

        Article II

        In the present Convention, genocide means any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such:

        in whole or in part. Not that you care, just for anybody wondering what the Geneva convention says. Though people should not base their morality on law, even UN law.

            being aided by the majority of Gaza residents who support them

            “It’s not genocide, but if it is they deserve it”

            Fucking disgusting Nazi logic.

                Stating a fact that’s not convenient to your false narrative

                Which fact? That Gaza civilians deserve to be slaughtered because of their alleged support of Hamas?

                Honestly who are you trying to convince here?

                no, collective punishment by genocide is about as Nazi as you get, then again, no wonder you got upset at it, you don’t even view “brown people” as human, they are all Terrorists, every Gaza Child is nothing but another terrorist, so why not kill them?

            The genocide of Palestinians by Israel has been going on way longer than Hamas has existed.

            I am no armchair legal scholar, I 've already argued against placing too much value on legality. It is you on the other hand who tries to minimize the severity of Israel’s wrongdoings by arguing pseudo-legalistic semantics.

            If the 1948 convention never existed, Israel’s actions would be just as reprehensible.

        In case anyone is on the fence about this issue and doesn’t realize this is easily disproven misinformation, there hasn’t been an election for the president or legislature in Palestine since 2006.. Hamas has maintained a stranglehold on the region for seventeen years by discontinuing elections.

        Even if that was true, this is a bad faith argument anyhow: it’s entirely possible to focus on the atrocities being committed by both sides. Rivermonster simply seems to enjoy regurgitating Israeli propaganda.

      I wonder, is there any nation or entity the US doesn’t fund?

      Can’t get played when you play all sides.

      I always love how two nations genocide each other and every English speaking forum ends up with ‘How dare the USA’ lol.

      It’s like people who can do nothing but blame the parents on their child going onto murder everyone when sometimes your child is just shit lol. You absolve so much of their personal responsibility by blaming the son for fathers behavior.

      People really just don’t like the fact that people can and will do evil shit without much justification simply by the way their genetics and culture work.

          What kind of simple minded asinine take are you appeal to extreme’ing about?

          Helicopter or hands-off parenting? The choice won’t impact a kid as much as you think

          Nature versus nurture is a long-standing debate in biology and society about the relative influence on human beings of their genetic inheritance (nature) and the environmental conditions of their development (nurture). The alliterative expression “nature and nurture” in English has been in use since at least the Elizabethan period[1] and goes back to medieval French.[2] The complementary combination of the two concepts is an ancient concept (Ancient Greek: ἁπό φύσεως καὶ εὐτροφίας).[3] Nature is what people think of as pre-wiring and is influenced by genetic inheritance and other biological factors. Nurture is generally taken as the influence of external factors after conception e.g. the product of exposure, experience and learning on an individual.

            You weren’t describing nature vs nurture. You were implying eugenics with your last statement.

              Blankets there seems to have a knack for saying asinine things, then acting outraged and claiming the other person is an idiot when they call them out for saying them. I wouldn’t engage; I’d block them but they’re always good for a laugh.
