Polls show Americans between the ages of 18 and 29 are more likely to agree that Israel is committing genocide in besieged Gaza than other age groups in the country.

    Cease-fire is fine but calling it a genocide is akin to saying the shooting at the Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas a few years back was a genocide of country music fans.

        INTENT. A mind is a shame to waste. You really should apologize to the trees for wasting the oxygen they work so hard to produce. BTW, there were not 26,000 deaths in Gaza and the 25,000 is including other causes of death.

          Israeli Intelligence Has Deemed Hamas-Run Health Ministry’s Death Toll Figures Generally Accurate

          According to the Ministry of Health, which reports to Gaza’s Hamas-led government, at least 27,500 civilians have been killed and more than 63,000 wounded since Israel began military operations in response to the Oct. 7 attacks, which killed at least 1100 Israelis and left more than 250 people hostage.

          Including other causes of death… Such as not having hospitals due to being bombed?

          That’s even worse.

            The number of people facing possible starvation in the Gaza Strip in the coming weeks is the largest share of a population at risk of famine identified anywhere since a United Nations-affiliated panel created the current global food-insecurity assessment 20 years ago.

            “The rigor, scale and speed of the destruction of the structures necessary for survival, and enforcement of the siege, surpasses any other case of man-made famine in the last 75 years,” said Alex de Waal, an expert on humanitarian crises and international law at Tufts University who wrote “Mass Starvation: The History and Future of Famine.”

              How would you feel if people in designated safe zones carrying a white flag get shot?

                  The incident I originally thought about, the hostages were not shot in a safe zone as far as I can tell

                  Just to make the two things separate I’ll make separate comment for this.

                  Why it matters what you or I care:

                  We cannot know what other people feel the only tool we know is called empathy.

                  Would you take nytimes as a serious source that cites the Israeli military?.

                  The Israeli military identified the three hostages it mistakenly killed in Gaza on Friday as Yotam Haim and Alon Shamriz, taken from Kibbutz Kfar Aza during the Hamas-led assault on Oct. 7; and Samer Talalka, who was kidnapped from Kibbutz Nir Am.

                    That is behind a paywall but I’m aware of that incident. Again, what does my emotional reaction matter?

        Yeah maybe the thousands of innocent women and children being indiscriminately killed would disagree… If they weren’t dead.

            I’m sorry but this is literally the opposite of what is true. Here is a pdf of the ICJ order finding that the charge of genocide is plausible and Israel is ordered to take measures to prevent genocide. In no way did the ICJ rule that there was not a genocide. Israel is now officially on trial for genocide.

                This is some pretty effective satire, and the fact that I can’t tell if you’re serious makes the satire even better. You’d be a hit on 4chan.

            ICJ says its not a genocide

            This is incorrect.

            LONDON — The International Court of Justice has found it is “plausible” that Israel has committed acts that violate the Genocide Convention. https://www.npr.org/2024/01/26/1227078791/icj-israel-genocide-gaza-palestinians-south-africa

            I blocked the user, because he was clearly not interested in having a discussion.
