    Academic here - it’s 100% genocide. More so, it’s the worst kind of genocide, it’s sanctioned genocide built upon conflating a people with their government.

        Probably playing off of this part of the article:

        "[…] I discarded the argument that scholars haven’t reached a conclusion on whether the Gaza genocide is really taking place”, Marshall wrote in his decision.

      built upon conflating a people with their government.

      Which makes those people in other parts of the world (myself included) inherently less safe.

      In fact, if I could point to one single factor that has made Jews less safe in this world post-WWII, it would be Israel.

        Yup, most people of the Jewish faith are not the state of Israel. Much as most people of the Islamic faith are not terrorists. People mostly just want to lead comfortable lives.

        It’s a great case of A->B being misunderstood as A<->B to justify incredible shittiness.

        I do sometimes wonder if I should write a paper full of examples suggesting that this really simple misunderstanding of logic is what drives the enshittification of humanity _
