This comment was in response to someone expressing regret about joining .ml if I recall correctly

Edit: I’m convinced all this guy does is camp out in front of his computer and wait for an excuse to abuse what itty bitty power he has.

    A genocide isn’t waging war, a genocide is actively hunting civilians and making life impossible.

    Yeah, that’s what Israel is doing

    I don’t know what else you get from Israel’s actions and stated concerns. In a year, they’ve killed a greater percentage of Gazans than Coalition forces killed Iraqis in all ~10 years of the Iraq War. And Coalition forces in Iraq were (rightfully) accused of being metaphorically trigger-happy.

      UN isn’t a credible source for anything Israel related. (and especially not the ministry of truth) And also, its a very different kind of war and furthermore this are the numbers from the Gaza ministry of health, wich is a hamas institution and wich does the thing mentioned above.

      I don’t doubt that there are many casualtys, many civilian casualtys as well, but that doesn’t mean its a genocide.

          So you think a Diplomatic forum is the fucking ministry of truth. Its a political platform, its the exact opposite of truthful.

          By Israel’s own admission they kill two civilians for every Hamas soldier.

          Didn’t question that, but its a war not a genocide. Furthermore it is common knowledge that hamas does hide among civilians and uses human shields, that’s why hamas isn’t legally protected by the Geneva conventions, as they don’t count as combatants in that matter, they wear mostly civilian clothes.

          Israeli soldiers film themselves committing war crimes and dancing on the graves of Palestinian civilians they’ve killed.

          Aljazeera article… Fuck them they are known to be super pro Hamas. However i didn’t question that there happened to be war crimes on the side of the IDF, they do happen, its however a big difference between systematical and individual war crimes, war crimes have to be prosecuted but that doesn’t mean its a genocide.

          What more do you want?

          Some Cookies and milk, also maybe not using Aljazeera sources or sources that just cite them unchecked while you are at it.

          Please don’t use Al Jazeera, they are owned by the Qatari government, which is the same government that actively holds Hamas leadership. They are extraordinarily biased and not to be taken seriously.

          As mentioned above, there is no genocide, and that’s why no credible source is speaking about a genocide.

          The ICJ (UN so has a anti Israel bias) fir example said that there is no genocide currently even though Israel must take action to protect civilians in Gaza, wich they did, see the other threat here.

            Theoretically speaking, what sources would you accept as authoritative on the matter of an ongoing genocide?

              There is no credible authority body that calles or doesn’t call something genocide, genocide has a very clear definition and genocide is defined according to that definition, ICJ does try to be neutral but Israel has as said a very hard time with UN because UN turned into a anti Israel body, so they don’t get people into Gaza or Israel. The only external people in gaza currently are a few selected journalists that travel with IDF (CNN from what i know, maybe the guardian, but I’m not certain on that) or the hamas propaganda speakers that call themselves journalists (aljazeera) but are legally not.

                Then why say

                and that’s why no credible source is speaking about a genocide.

                as an objection?

                You’re all over the place.

                  You asked about a credible source for something, and for a authority body, those are different things so there are different answers
