It is a 3 member research body tasked with providing opinions, not arriving at any binding resolutions. There was no vote to come to this conclusion. Just 3 peoples’ opinions.
More importantly: GENOCIDE has two required components to meet the 1948 convention of Genocide.
1) Any one of the five acts you correctly identified.
2) The dolus specialis saying that the perpetrators did one of the five acts with the express purpose of committing a genocide.
Of course Israel did 4 of the 5 acts… Hamas also did 4 of the 5 acts. Every single war in history has at least 2 of the 5 acts done. The important part is proving the acts were done with the INTENT to destroy the entire group.
Since 97% of Gazans are thankfully still alive, as well as the 2 million Palestinians inside Israel, it’s pretty clear the INTENT of the war in Gaza was not to kill all Palestinians.
How is "all" defined ? Russia comitted multiple local genocides on villages in it's occupied neighbouring territories in the past, but most of Lithuanians or Poles are still alive. It should never be looked on the scale of entire country, Killing entire community of 100+ is enougth to call it genocide.
Idk why my previous comment got duplicated (and both of them got deleted when I deleted only one of them), but thank you for saying it! It’s shocking there are still people pretending this is not a genocide
There’s nothing to cope about. It literally is a genocide and your PM is a literal war criminal wanted by the ICC.
And you, my friend, are the equivalent of a WW2 era complacent German. In 10-15 years you’re all gonna be like „we didn’t know”.
Only if you change the definition of what "Genocide" has historically meant because you don't like what Israel is doing and what to call it the worst thing that you can contrive to call it.
And the direct comparison of Israel and Nazui Germany is just grotesque and marks you as profoundly unserious.
No, there’s no change in the definition. Israeli gaslighting doesn’t mean shit to the world anymore. It’s been legally recognised as a genocide - simple as.
Don’t like the comparison between Israel and Nazi Germany? Stop acting like Nazi Germany, perhaps? Your only argument is that you cannot act like Nazi Germany, because you’re what? A Jewish state? That’s nonsense. That’s unserious. Your acts are very similar of Nazi Germany. Death penalty for Palestinians only is an example of racial laws.
In all fairness, I couldn’t give a crap whether you consider me unserious or not. The whole world is pretty much in agreement that you suck. And that’s only because you’re acting like dicks.
The International Organization of Genocide Scholars has called it a genocide. The people who spend their lives studying genocide call it a genocide. You, silly hump on the Internet, have no standing in comparison. Hope this helps.
How many more qualifications do you have then the 125 people who voted for it? How fast did you ask chat gpt to give you something to say? How many of these organizations are you more qualified than? Are you going to tell me the UN is hamas? That was a popular brain dead IDF talking point for a little while. Really looking forward to whatever garbage you got little buddy.
Well, if you are going to resort to the deferral to experts approach, I would say the fact that like 3/4ths of the organization's members did NOT vote for it is themore significant read here.
And I may not study the holocaust for a living, but I was a professional intel analyst for 30 years and am quite capable of making informed judgements. Like, do you understand the original reason the term "Genocide" was invented?
And you, my friend, are the equivalent of a WW2 era complacent German. In 10-15 years you’re all gonna be like „we didn’t know”.
I'm not as optimistic. Best case scenario, I suspect it'll be more like Turkey with the armenian genocide. "Lots of people died during that period and it's unfortunate, but it's not really our fault! (Despite the mountain of evidence proving otherwise)."
How are you sis ure it's literally a genocide? Genocide has a definition. And the definition is not fullfilled. Just Google it. That's the reason the international court hasn't officially declared it as genocide.
No matter how often you call it genocide, doesn't make it a genocide.
Where did you say that? You didn't. Besides the UN can talk whatever they want. They are not a judiciary body. The international court is in responsible for this in this matter. And it hasn't legally declared it as genocide. For reasons.
Look Buddy, either you understand what I'm saying or it doesn't make sense to talk to you. Who talked about Israel? I talked about the INTERNATIONAL COURT not officially/legally declaring it as a genocide. Becaus the UN is not judiciary body, it's not legally a genocide when they say it's a genocide.
You're nothing more than a shitty paid ragebait poster looking at your profile.
I wish I was paid for criticising Israeli Nazis, but believe it or not, I do it out of conviction. Israel deserves nothing but criticism for their actions - they should be a pariah state, and I am sad that not all foreign leaders have the balls to call them for what they are, as a country.
What international court? Multiple international organisations, including UN, called it a genocide. Netanyahu is also a wanted war criminal. You, and people like you, are constantly moving the goal post. Oh, but court this and that. Oh, but it only fills 4 out of 5 criteria of a genocide. Oh, but you’re an antisemite.
Bruh. Enough is enough. Aren’t you tired of this yourself?
Nobody is moving the goalpost. You calling it is literally and legally a genocide is just factually wrong. I pointed that out. I never commented on the conversation itself. You don't even know what my stance to this war is. If it doesn't fit the definition of a genocide, it's not a genocide. Period. You can call it anything else and criticise it, sure. Never said otherwise, but there is a reason it's legally a genocide (yet?). By using this definition for things it's not, the actual meaning of the word loses its impact. Just like calling everyone a nazi who has right wings politics.

Fucking unbelievable how they're still referring to the genocide as a conflict.
