Genocide is the intentional destruction of a people[a] in whole or in part. In 1948, the United Nations Genocide Convention defined genocide as any of five "acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group". These five acts were: killing members of the group, causing them serious bodily or mental harm, imposing living conditions intended to destroy the group, preventing births, and forcibly transferring children out of the group. Victims are targeted because of their real or perceived membership of a group, not randomly.[1][2] Wikipedia

Reservist Major General Giora Eiland told Israeli media on Monday that Israel’s actions in “creating a severe humanitarian crisis is a necessary means to achieve the goal. Gaza will become a place where no human being can exist.”

@SomeCatFromJapan It's not even casual anymore.

Let’s not talk about Jewish people. This is Israeli government.

Think those were the words from Israel’s government yesterday.

Wtf is it with the constant casual anti-Semitism?

This is horrific.

Family as in clan.

These are the identified ones. The number is probably bigger unfortunately.

Mass graves = genocide

Not even allowed the dignity of having funerals.

Ah thank you

Ohlalalalala · 26/10/2023 19:20

Efacsen · 26/10/2023 19:17

Wow 88 people from one family?

I don't understand how they have all these names when un-identified bodies are being buried in mass graves

7028 Palestinians, including 2913 children, murdered in less than three weeks. How can the world stay silent!

Do you say the same about Russia - Ukraine ? Or any other war in the world ?

Realistically it's okay to hope that Hamas is defeated though surely? What is the alternative?
And again realistically, the quicker than happens, the quicker the whole thing will be over.

Please note this isn't me condoning the air strikes at all, it's all pretty horrifying.

Ooooh I get it, it isn't the Israeli government to blame at all, it's Arabs. In general. Let me offer my most sincere apologies, I hadn't realised. 🙄

Some posters really will look for any excuse at all to absolve the IDF of any blame for all of these civilian deaths.

EasterIssland · 26/10/2023 18:45

Horrifying

Its not just babies dying though is it. Its whole families, generations, neighbourhoods. Only a narrow minded person would focus on 'babies'. No one wants an innocent baby dead, ever. But this is far far reaching and catastrophic for a lot more people than babies.

I know , some people don’t care babies / kids / women / doctors. / journalists / whole families are dying because according to them they deserve it for supporting Hamas and because previous generations killed by Arabs

Sorry but , What a stupid argument. As my ancestors killed thousands in the past then if someone kills me then nobody should have empathy ? ..

are you telling me we shouldn’t pay attention when a British person is killed as a result of a terrorist attacked as British people have killed so many around the world ? Only a narrow minded person wouldn’t care about innocent babies dying.

Yeah wtf.

Israel won't stop until it achieves it's military objective. The quicker they get there the better for everyone. And that's as good as it's gonna get.
