How the term “genocide” is misused in the Israel-Hamas war
South Africa accuses Israel of committing the heinous crime
I used to like The Economist, but this is Nazis propaganda right on their page.
Israel, by contrast, does not meet the test of genocide. There is little evidence that Israel, like Hamas, “intends” to destroy an ethnic group—the Palestinians. Israel does want to destroy Hamas, a militant group, and is prepared to kill many civilians in doing so. While some Israeli extremists might want to eradicate the Palestinians, that is not a government policy.
This is not okay. This is Nazi logic. Nazi, fascist logic, from The Economist.
Even Nazi Germany did not make killing the official "intention" or government policy in my understanding. At least not always. It was announced as a safety guarantee, for example.
You're viewing a single thread.
"It's not genocide because they're not trying to murder everyone. Yes, they are killing everyone but it's not intentional."
What a stupid fucking piece of shit excuse.
When you can apply that same anger and outrage to the other side, then you might have some credibility.
How so? Is it a requirement that someone state at every turn that Hamas is genocidal as well? Who is dying right now?
