      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;

      • Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group;
      • Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part;
      • Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group;
      • Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group.

      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?

      But they are not deliberately killing civilians in Gaza.

      Right, right… totally no genocidal behavior to see here.

      You mean aside from those times they said specifically they were attacking civilians to “get to” Hamas access that the civilians are “human shields”.

  I was wondering how long it would take the media to frame the Israel-Palestine crisis as another “China bad” story.

    I don’t think that’s what’s happening?

  This is the best summary I could come up with:

  ---

  Surveillance cameras now cover the Damascus Gate, the main entrance into the old city of Jerusalem and one of the only public areas for Palestinians to gather socially and hold demonstrations.

  The Guardian first reported that Hikvision enabled police clients to set up alarms for when cameras detect any type of protest activity such as “gathering crowds to disrupt order in public places”, “unlawful assembly, procession, demonstration” and threats to “petition”.

  Amnesty investigators said the cameras are at high risk of being connected to Mabat 2000, an Israeli police-run facial-recognition surveillance network that spans the entire city of East Jerusalem.

  Ultimately, Palestinians “don’t need to see” that the cameras are employing facial recognition to “know that they are being watched at every turn”, said Matthew Mahmoudi, an Amnesty International researcher on AI and human rights.

  “Even their family life and the sort of very mundane everyday actions suddenly become acts of resistance in the face of this ubiquitous surveillance apparatus that underpins much of how apartheid is exacted on Palestinians,” Mahmoudi added.

  According to the report, Amnesty International’s Digital Verification Corps analyzed and verified the authenticity of 15 videos that showed Palestinians being detained “where surveillance technologies appeared to have been used for registration, identification or recording”.
