Israel Is Committing GENOCIDE?

… People tend to believe that in order to commit genocide

… you have to murder an entire nation

… no

… an international convention was drawn up

… a list of what acts a state or people must commit to be considered perpetrators of genocide

… Article 2 … lists five acts that make up the definition of genocide   [ p 1, 2 ]

… (a) “Killing members of the group”

… 43,000 is surely enough

… (b) “Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group”

… We have bombed day and night

… hundreds of limbs have been amputated

… we ruined the lives of tens of thousands of children and their parents

… (c) “Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part”

… The hunger and thirst

…  delays in humanitarian aid

… torture … the systematic destruction of residential areas

… thousands of people buried under the rubble

… (d) “Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group”

… destruction of almost all of Gaza’s hospitals including delivery rooms

… neonatal and maternity wards

… preventing shipments of medical equipment

… killing medical personnel

… (e) “Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group”

… something that Israel has not done

… A pity

… Maybe taking some children out of the hell we created for them would have saved their lives

… Of the five criteria for genocide, we have performed four exemplarily

… the execution of one of the five sections, it doesn’t matter which one,

… is enough to be considered a perpetrator

… No one will believe that we did all this in good faith

… or purely for reasons of self-defense

… And above all, it is not worth relying as we do on the Holocaust as a defense. It may provoke comparisons
