Move along. No genocide to see here.

Betcha there are people already arguing that it can't be genocide if you only kill 1% of the population.

Or that it can't be because they didn't immediately kill everyone

Hilarious logic when it comes from a people who's ancestors survived a genocide. If one thinks it cant be genocide if people survive it, then you gotta ask yourself a loooot of questions.

Maybe I'm mistaken, but at one point long ago at school, a professor told me that genocide is when one ethnic group kills 5000 of other ethnic group. How many innocent Palestinians has Israel killed so far since Oct 7th?

What a ridiculous idea, that a specific number of people being killed is what qualifies something to be a genocide. Genocide is about intent, not numbers.

They are using it as an opportunity to carry out the pogrom they always wanted to. It’s clear now that the Hamas attack is exactly what Israel wanted.

Don't forget Netanyahu literally funded Hamas.
