.... they can switch to stating it as a genocide
then repeat it over and over and over again ... just blast it everywhere all the time until the word just loses any meaning at all

The difference between calling out misdeeds, and doing something about it.
Globally, we’re well past the former having any meaningful impact.

Meanwhile...
The death toll in Sudan's ongoing civil war is estimated to be significantly higher than previously reported, with studies suggesting that over 150,000 people may have died since the conflict began in April 2023. The majority of these deaths are attributed to violence, preventable diseases, and starvation, particularly affecting vulnerable populations in regions like Khartoum and Darfur.

Doesn't get as much attention because why? Muslim on Muslim? Brown on Brown? And yet it involves (unlike Gaza) systemic targeting of civilians based on ethnicity.

American here. Israel's genocide is more relevant here because our country is their official ally. We have few/no ties to Sudan. It's not a relative horror thing, it's a "if I don't speak up, I directly support genocide" thing.

Well go on and make a post about it then. Leaving a comment here to try and draw attention away from Gaza is not going to help you or Sudan.
Let me say that again.

ICJ is not doing it job. The genocide is so obvious
They already have all evidence needed and still slow the say for a fact what we already know for sure.
It took it 12 years after the bostnian genocide as a genocice to declared it as such.
1 - Genocide is not only aimed on ethnic groups only 2 - The legal definition of genocide do not say that the population need to decrease to be considered a genocide 3 - Israel is lying about the number of Hamas fighter casualty and hamas estimation are undercounted https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/how-many-palestinians-has-israels-gaza-offensive-killed-2025-01-15/
The real legal definition of genocide according to the UN
Genocide means any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such:
One of Israel’s own ministers, Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, literally said, “no electricity, no food, no fuel” would be allowed into Gaza. And that wasn’t just words—according to the UN, for over 2 months barely any aid entered northern Gaza, leaving tens of thousands of people without food, water, or medicine.
Also, Netanyahu publicly referenced the biblical story of Amalek—basically calling for total destruction. Then you had soldiers on the ground yelling “Amalek” while attacking Gaza. Human rights groups have pointed out that this kind of language, combined with how civilians are being targeted, fits patterns seen in genocides.
Both of those example show without a single doubt that Israel is causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group and deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part with clear intent
Genocide doesn't count unless you kill over 66% of people. Literally you can kill 65% of people in a country and it doesn't count, it's a life hack that makes the ICC go "blast it!". Israel said so.
On a real note, using Jewish genocide in this disingenuous way is actual antisemitism.
If you had actually read the definition of genocide you would see that it isn't limited by ethnicity.
