Probably, but genocide wasn't defined then.
I mean, history is littered with genocides...but following what happened to the Jews by the Nazis the legal definition was determined to help prevent it ever happening again....and it can be argued that Israel's conduct against the people of Gaza fits that definition. It is nothing like the holocaust, a whole other level, but this holocaust inversion thing still does not make Israel immune from such accusations.
FFS, with an attitude like this, which far too many have, we’ve got no chance of ever seeing peace.
The bombing of Dresden was a disgrace, but it’s not comparable to the planned, systematic and cynical destruction of the people of Gaza.
Moderator note:
Firstly, I want to highlight that we have an international politics thread that is better suited to in-depth conversation around these topics.
Secondly, please put a content warning on disturbing images.
By the way, I think anyone who supports Netanyahu’s approach to this war is deluded. It’s not genocide but there are degrees of total incompetence from him. Hamas has succeeded in exposing his limits on security.
