Israel committing genocide in Gaza, world's leading experts say
The world's leading association of genocide scholars cited several actions by Israel, including attacks on the healthcare sector and the killing of children.
Well I'm not an expert, but I could tell a long time ago that Israel is commiting a genocide.
Hmm, maybe, just maybe world leaders should listen to world's leading experts, you know?
I genuinely believe that the vast, vast majority of people on this planet who are aware of the situation in Gaza can see that it's a genocide and that Israel is criminal.
I don't have anything to base it on, but I just have a feeling that we've reached a turning point in how Israel is perceived globally. I don't know what that will mean in the future, but I think it'll mean something big.
Practically everyone I’ve spoken to irl, even those more conservative inclined, feel the same. Even if you take into account that people are likely to be surrounded by people who hold at least similar opinions to them it really feels like this is the case and has been for a minute now.
A) yes the view is changing B) it's not going to be big because it's a small conflict in a tiny country. Could you elaborate what this is supposed to mean?
They are not going to be wiped off the map soon and neither are they going to reform their country and have peace for everyone.
Main thing about the conflict is how stuck it is.
Respectfully, I think you're repeating a widespread myth: this is not an immovable situation. Israel's system of apartheid is actually very cumbersome and expensive, and the country has been very weakened over the last two years. It really isn't hard for me to see this government collapse in the next three years.
BBC doing some honest reporting now that it's too late to stop the Zios.
Nothing more classic than dragging their feet recognizing genocide until "oh shucks, it's to late to do anything; guess we don't have to take any accountability or make difficult decisions now" ¯(ツ)/¯
No shit.
Everybody is aware. The only ones not admitting it are the governments supporting it.
Israeli govt has been pretty clear that it wants to occupy and depopulate the whole region. The perp openly admits the crime, and still the US, UK, Germany line up to send them the funding, weapons, and diplomatic cover to commit it. Despicable state of affairs.
Why do we need experts to remind us of the definition of genocide
Because apparently there are some really, really dumb fuckers out there, and they make decisions for the rest of us.
My only wish is that Americans would shut up and get in the back of the line as they only cheapen any attempt to help Palestine. My country got wrecked by Americans who are now moralizing and being the world police again. I wish they would just sit down and let another country lead the charge.
I mean if it's any consolation, America under the leadership of Trump or Vance isn't going to do jack shit to help Palestine or anyone else. They're literally fucking over their own people and telling them that empathy is a sickness.
Rest assured if any country is going to be leading the charge it won't be America. The entire country is on the verge of complete collapse. I would actually be more surprised if it doesn't happen at this point. It's pretty much inevitable. That's not hyperbole, collapse of the U.S. and democracy and division into smaller city state monarchies is literally the goal of this administration. If that happens, North Korea levels of isolationist policy is the only possible outcome.
Fuck another country.
We need to rebuild the UN from scratch, start over. This time, no veto rights for anyone. This time, give the fucker teeth. Give it the atrong Army it needs. If some dictator, be it a Korean one, a Chinese one, a European one, a Russia one, or an American one, decides to behave like an asshole we can send the actual world police on their asses, and this time it will be a police that is guided by ALL of humanity, not just a rich few assholes that can buy a politician to veto anything useful the UN could decide.
Everybody says that Israel is committing genocide. Even some Republicans are boasting about it, even the Israeli government is boasting about it without using the word specifically.
At this point you'd be hard pressed to find anyone that would deny it's a genocide, except for using the word
Ya don't say
Days since Israel committed genocide: 0
This is a live ticker. Come back daily for updates!
Idk, maybe we should let Isreal kill another 10th of Palestine's population just to make sure this is a real genocide and not some light ethnic cleansing.

Fuck Israel. It's time to forget what happened in 1940-45 and realise that Israel is doing the exact thing that the nazis used to do against anyone who they didn't like. Israel does not like any Palestinian. So let's be honest here and forget history for a minute and look at what is happening in Gaza. Hamas is rotten to the core but Israel is looking even worse now. Also, why aren't any Arab countries doing something to end this instead of staying on the sidelines?
I get where you're coming from, but slow your roll on "It's time to forget what happened in 1940-45".
Understanding history is a vital part of not repeating mistakes.
Israel was always worse than hamas
why aren’t any Arab countries doing something to end this instead of staying on the sidelines?
CIA's hard work.
Also, why aren’t any Arab countries doing something to end this instead of staying on the sidelines?
Because the last time they did, most of the Sinai peninsula ended up under Israeli control.
Well, duh!

Funny how with any other country the west has a hair trigger with calling out genocide, but Israel gets a free pass somehow.
You're quoting a neonazi white supremacist to assert what? That Israel rules over us?
Come on, that's not a good look is it.
