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.”

Sorry, it's called Islamic jihad not Muslims jihad, my bad.

‘Muslims jihad’ lol. That’s a new one.

I’ve raised this concern about users to mnhq on several occasions. There were a couple
of users who were posting 24/7. I’ve not seen them back now. So hopefully mnhq investigated and were concerned too. A lot are trolls.@EasterIssland

Thanks. Yes i do remember 2 users that first few days were really active and never seen them again and these many new accounts make me suspicious

Are you reading the Israel bbc version ? This is the British one atm

yes, I'm reading the bbc too. You can see there how they inform about the rockets thrown by IDF into gaza but they never or almost never talk about rockets send by hamas or the other group muslims jihad I think it's called into israel.

I’ve realised many posters have got nearly brand new accounts in MN. I’ve a feeling some just create an account (or multiple) to throw hate against those that are dying atm in Gaza.

"I'm not questioning gazans deaths because they are gazans, I'm questioning it because is hamas who is telling us the number of deaths, they are a terrorist group."

Agreed. Hamas is a terrorist group and I don't trust them either. But why then does Israel not allow independent journalists into Gaza to verify the situation? Why has it imposed a communications blackout? In the absence of any other source of information we have no choice but to go with Hamas.

We know that thousands have died in Gaza. We don't need to know more detail to abhor what is happening there.

ChickHenLittle · 28/10/2023 17:49

Why do you need confirmation of number of deaths? Would only a certain number be "too much"?

As I said before I do have empathetic to any human being dying. Even if only one gazan would die is too much.

But what I see in this thread is totally trust in a terrorist group. We should not forget hamas kidnapped 200 people (most of them children) they killed and they raped. Why we should belive anything they say?

Are you 15 years old? Why to start a thread if you don't want people commenting?
I'm not spreading hate. Hamas is a terrorist group, I don't believe anything they say.
Please enlighten me with links to the evidence the numbers they say they are real.

Who are you for me to enlighten you? Would you help them? Pray for them? Be more sympathetic? If I convinced you that thousands of civilians were murdered? How would you have felt if I came here and brazenly questioned the number of Israeli casualties of October 7th? I would have been absolutely hounded. I would never have the inhumanity of questioning the number of Israeli deaths even though I do NOT believe a word Israel says about anything else.

Literally that's all the media talks about. The first question to anyone is always about condemning hamas. Front pages are about hamas attacks. Anyone who speaks up about Palestine is fired or taken off air. You can't say Gazans are dying without putting Israels right to freedom in the same sentence, and ending with blaming hamas.

Come off it

Exactly this anyone speaking for civilians in Gaza get cancelled e.g. job losses, suspension etc.. But if you speak in favour of the Israeli government the same outcome is not given I wonder why? Just ask Bella Hadid just because she speaks for Palestinians she has lost many friends and jobs. I have actually seen people in the past get suspended or lost their jobs in the past because they spoke against the Israeli government. It is a joke how we can talk about freedom of speech but censor some legitimate views.

Hamas is a terrorist group, Israel government is a democrat government. I do not agree with them but I do believe them more than I believe hamas. To me is like comparing olive oil with water...why do you compare them?

It is a war, don't forget hamas are firing rockets into Israel too ( with fuel they say they don't have...). I'm surprised about media not talking about that too, I'm Christian but I even me can see how media is anti semitic. ..

People that say they do not believe Hamas but believe the Israeli government? Why? Both have lied. Israel have time again violated international law at least 28 resolutions were violated in the past and they continue to do this as collective punishment what they are currently doing is a war crime according to the Geneva convention.

Ask yourself this yes Hamas are bad but why before Hamas were in power were Israel violating international law? They have no respect for international law they do what they want. Countries like USA, UK do nothing but enable them.

This is what stands out from that article ketchup

As a result, Gaza will become a place where no human being can exist, and I say this as a means rather than an end. I say this because there is no other option for ensuring the security of the State of Israel. We are fighting an existential war.

It's like people are saying the quiet bits loudly now.
It's about the eradication of a whole people.

6500 dead says who? Hamas? How can we trust them when they are a terrorist group?

I absolutely agree. Just as there weren't 800 people killed in the hospital blast. It wasn't 800 and it wasn't a hospital.

Yes, it's terrible terrible terrible to see this suffering in Gaza but if Hamas had returned the hostages early on then this wouldn't have been happening at this level.

@Alohapotato so how many Palestinians do YOU think have died? After what number would you start feeling bad? Let’s halve 6500 - 3250 Palestinians dead. Is that ok. Does that make you feel better?!

Did I say I don't feel bad with gazans dying? I do feel bad when any human being dies, specially innocent people but as I said I don't believe what Hamas say. They twist reality to fit their narrative.
