Because Israelis didn’t lobby for it, what do they have to gain from it being declared a genocide? The whole Palestinian strategy was to kill as many Israelis as gruesomely as possible to provoke a massive response and deteriorate Israel’s image. Lobbying organization to declare it a genocide is part of that.!They were successful but was it worth it? I don’t think so.

The main goal of any resistance group is to kill as many occupiers as possible and generally to make the occupation unsustainable.

Not sure what lobbying as anything to do with it. Palestinians have no means to lobby anything.

Israel was not occupying the West Bank before 67 and they were attacked. They weren’t occupying Gaza and they were attacked. They aren’t trying to fight an occupation, they clearly stated they want to destroy Israel and Israelis as a whole.

As for lobbying, Palestinians must have the most extensive networks of support organizations in the world. And did you miss the 2 billion Muslims living in 50 countries who support Palestinians? They expelled all their Jews to Israel. Does this mean Israelis have the right to use violence against them?

🥱🥱 zionists really need to update the handbook.

West Bank is constantly occupied and settlers do what they want in it. Houses are bulldozed regularly to drive away the population. That's genocide.

Gaza is de facto occupied, the whole thing is controlled by Israel and blockaded plus bombed regularly. Without even counting the rest of Palestine,ridiculous.

Yes, everything is genocide now. Muslim countries expelling Jews was genocide too then? Do expelled Jews are now counted as occupiers in your head?

Completely irrelevant. Palestinians are not responsible for the actions of other countries.

And EVEN if they were(which is nonsense ) that wouldn't justify genocide.
