So, let’s look at the definition of genocide and see where Israel lands here.

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:

Killing members of the group;

Source: the UN

So; let’s have a quick look at these points:

  1. Over 11,000 deaths, majority of civilians. And I’m just talking about deaths since Oct 7, I did not include any numbers from before that. Check.
  2. Illegal occupation and cutting off food, water, electricity and free movement. Check.
  3. Unknown to me.
  4. Unknown to me.

The head of the UN, Craig Mokhiber, just retired and called it unequivocally a genocide, here’s a source for that, but if you don’t like this source, you can just Google this and find plenty of other sources.

So, please tell me. How does Israel not fit as a genocidal regime?
