      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.
