I’m going to say this, again.
It is not a genocide.
Less than 3% of the population of Gaza has been injured or killed.
The population has increased since the war began.
The genocide of the Jews, in comparison, killed 2 out of 3 in Europe.
Thats what led to the creation of the Jewish state, but of course we know that, which is why genocide is so wonderfully inflammatory.
The war in Syria, which is ongoing, has killed half a million, most recently with the targeted humiliation and massacre of the Druze.
Christians are being massacred in Nigeria.
The world is a mess and people are dying across Africa and the Middle East - no protests, absolute crickets because it’s not “genocide” that most of the PP lot despise, it’s Israel.
If Israel’s intention was genocide - they have the firepower to do it very quickly and very successfully.
The fact that they are still leafleting areas that they intend to enter and clear (of Hamas) indicates that they are not targeting civilians. But of course, when they leaflet drop asking people to move to a place of safety that’s “displacement” - eye roll.
Acres of aid in Gaza that Israel let in was left to sit and rot because the UN refused to deliver it.
The GHF have now taken over and it’s being dispersed - do genocidal countries usually feed and water their enemies?
Seems counterintuitive.
Images of “starving children” have been manipulated. Largely by photographing children with genetic defects and other health issues while their well nourished siblings are out of frame. Or simply by staging them with empty bowls for the cameras. Both manipulations have been exposed.
The stats coming from Gaza are coming from its ministry of health - Hamas.
Israels calculations are a 2:1 combatant to civilian ratio, which isn’t bad for war, but of course, they can’t be believed because israel bad and Hamas honest.
Hamas themselves are indicating that this is not a genocide as they persistently hide behind human shields and in schools and hospitals - human shields don’t deter the genocidal.
Women and children are the biggest non Hamas casualties - because when it comes to the dispersal of aid - they are at the bottom of the list.
If you look at any of the men, apart from the skeletal Israeli hostages being made to dig their own graves on camera, on any of the videos coming out of Gaza - they’re fed.
It is the choice of Hamas to feed their fighters and screw their civilians.
Before I get “well the UN says” - the UN has a long history of being anti Israel. The UNWRA buildings in Gaza had tunnels below them, and members of Hamas were in the employ of UNWRA.
They are political. As are WHO.
The British government, on the other hand, concluded no sign of genocide - but let’s ignore that because it doesn’t suit the entirely predictable narrative.
Hamas started this war when they butchered and raped at nova.
They have been told umpteen times how to end it - lay down arms and release the hostages but their charter literally calls for them to eradicate the Jews, at any cost, and to not stop until they are gone.
That is true genocidal intent, and that is what each and every single member of the pro pal mob are supporting “from the river to the sea”
And no, there’s no difference between Mr Jihadi parachuting his way into Nova to kill Jews and mr Jihadi in Manchester attacking a synagogue.
Same ideology, same religion, same genuinely genocidal belief system and with a father who celebrated the massacre, and not one of you will pause your “free speech” to consider what your free speech is doing.
Hell mend anybody that marches with an England flag though eh? Racisssssts.
I assume this post might have a higher chance of remaining in situ, mumsnet, given that I haven’t called anybody a moron for chanting for the destruction of the Jewish state this time.
