@[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] The term genocide is being horribly misused in reference to Israel's counteroffensive, reacting to the October 7 massacres. There is no systemic annihilation of the Palestinian people, otherwise the war would have been extended to the west bank, and many, many more Gazans would be dead. The IDF's mission is clear and limited. Collateral casualties are high due to Hamas hiding in civilian areas and not obeying established rules of war.
@[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] Lots of numbers being thrown around. I think we can all agree that deaths are tragic even if we don't agree on who is to blame. Israel's defensive actions lack any connection to genocide, in either intent or result. Look at data. The population of Gaza grew dramatically both under Israeli occupation and since Israeli withdrawal. Two years after the current conflict ends it will have probably recovered from the current losses.

Your comment is appalling. People are not fungible tokens, 25 thousand births will not make 25 thousand murders Ok.
The demographic growth doesn't annul the fact that Palestinians where expelled from 78% of their country, nor the fact that there's ample reason to claim it's genocide from public statements alone.
Cutting water and electricity are also genocidal acts.
Denying the entry of humanitarian aid trucks is also a genocidal act.
