And your pathetic bid to try to make out that it is in any way related to s specific state is, well, pathetic. You should quit needing to be cast as a perpetual victimAnd?
No it doesn't. Israel doesn't even target civilians and even the targeting of civilians on its own isn't automatically a genocide.
It's an absurd claim used by terror supporters and antisemites.
Of course when you stop food, water, fuel and meds and/or restrict them for months on end, to claim you are " targeting" anyone in particular falls on its arse in an instance.
When you completely destroy the territory's healthcare system, education system , attack people trying to dish out aid or keep critical infrastructure working, you again fall flat on your arse.
Then we have the dozens of examples of intent to commit genocide and incitement to commit genocide by Israeli state and military personnel.
The accusation, a lot like the accusation that Gaza remained illegally occupied by Israel after the so called disengagement, is built on the application of the applicable laws and conventions.
Your hysterical hissy fits over the application of the law to certain situations and the conflict itself is extremely enlightening
I agree. Hence not a genocide. No intent to throw Gazans out of Gaza, no intent to kill innocent Gazans, etc.
You might be forced to agree but you still choose to live in a bubble of Israeli propaganda. The South African case at the ICJ has literally pages and pages of quotes stating the intention to commit genocide and to incite others to commit it. They have had dozens more since they filed the case and are suffering from an overload of examples.
That's why this will be deemed a genocide. You can deny that reality if you want to but reasonable people won't.
