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.”

Oxfam says starvation is being used as a weapon of war against civilians in Gaza, adding just two percent of usual food has been delivered to the enclave since Israel’s “total siege”.

Gaza death toll rises to 6,500, including Al Jazeera correspondent’s family

Al Jazeera Arabic’s Wael Dahdouh’s wife, son and daughter among family members killed after home hit.

@Ohlalalalala thank you for this thread. Posters like you and others have helped maintain what little hope I have left for humanity. I’d like to respectfully request you update the title of the thread. It should be 8000 (updated figures) killed. too often in the media they use passive language when it comes to reporting on Palestinians killed by Israel. Palestinians are described as ‘dying’ as if they just dropped dead of their own accord, we need to use active words - they were killed by Israel, they did not just die.

You're right.

It's always like this... they died, not killed.
They are terrorists not innocent civilians, and before anyone starts with, they voted hamas in, get a grip. I never voted the tories in, and sunak is standing there saying i support isreal. Obviously, i must as my country voted him in.

Try and discredit Shaun king all you want - there are plenty of others showing the reality of Israel’s genocide all over social media.

SadTimes96 · 29/10/2023 22:04

Sean King was somewhat involved. It is not clear how but their father later says that he was without them knowing.

“Ben, my son was talking with him without anybody in the family knowing about it until today. Our family in Israel posted this statement denying we knew him, before we learned about Ben talking to him. We have nothing further to say,” he added.

@etmoietmoietmoi how to people keep falling for it?!

@etmoietmoietmoi I read about that. That was embarrassing for him.

@SomeCatFromJapan Yup that's him, been doing it for years piggybacking onto whatever cause brings the most profitable grift.

This was quite spectacular.

Isn't he the white guy that pretends to be black for the grift but unlike Rachel Dolezal he seems to be getting away with it?

Chaiandkaafee · 29/10/2023 18:42

Shaun king is something else. He and his family have been repeatedly targeted by people he speaks out about (especially during the aftermath of the George Floyd case) but he keeps going.

When Palestinian Lives Are So Dehumanized, Palestinian Suffering Is Normalized

Beautifully written by Diana Buttu who is a Canadian Palestinian lawyer specialising in negotiations, international law, and international human rights law. Earlier in her career, Buttu worked on the Israeli-Palestinian negotiations, serving as the only female negotiator during her five-year tenure.

Why do Israeli lives have meaning, but Palestinian lives do not?

The mutual pain in Israel and Palestine is so acute the its citizens are forced to act out in an endless cycle of perpetration and retribution.

@etmoietmoietmoi unfortunately a lot of the pro-Palestine movement expects utter hatred of Israel from it's supporters. As was plainly evidenced in that clip.
The sad part is the more they support Israel-hate, the more Palestinians will wind up suffering and dying. People on both "sides" need to work towards a solution that is fair for everyone.

Encouraging "from the river to the sea" isn't going to end well for anyone.

Are hamas Palestinian or not? If not, where are they from and why are they in Palestine?

Was IRA Northern Ireland?

Palestine is not Hamas. Israel must stop. There can be no justification.

Just checked Motaz Azaiza Instagram; thanks @ChickHenLittle
Glad he's still well. I unfollowed him a few days ago because I couldn't bear watching the horror on my feed; so now I only visit to check he's still well and for any quick updates.

Thank God for SM. Imagine when the world had only CNN and Co to know what was happening in the world! I shiver to think about it. No wonder some people have such warped ideas about some regions in the world.

the apartheid and genocide apologists will be along soon with “but Hamas” !!

Edited

This is why it's in the government's best interest not to wipe out Hamas. The continued oppression, slaughter, genocide can continue "as we have no choice".

ketchup07070 · 29/10/2023 11:35

@Chaiandkaafee I don't think the UK is usually so oppressive? We have a tradition of free speech and the right to protest, which is why we are such a tolerant, peaceful country. Squashing that completely would make politicians very unpopular indeed.
