So not only has Israel annexed the entirety of the West Bank, but they have executed every Arab living in it? Wow, the article should have laid that out more clearly.

Article II
In the present Convention, 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:
I argued with a guy that the genocide under Trump would be accelerated versus what was happening under Biden and likely under Harris. He more or less wrote that genocide is genocide.
Now, I understood that genocide had degrees and was the act of wiping a people out, even if in progress, but here I have learned that there are even weaker forms. To me, that weakens the claim of genocide overall, and we need some qualifiers or terms to help distinguish the different levels.
In the present thread, taking control over a larger portion of the West Bank than the ~60% the Israelis had since Camp David is "genocide."

Pretty much all of them in Germany and the occupied territories were killed. The survivors hid or fled. There were about 3 million Palestinians living in the West Bank two years ago. How many have died due to Israeli action in that time?
I'm not saying the deaths are not tragic. Is it genocide or do we cheapen the word?

It is a genocide you idiot. Displacement is a huge part in genocide. Victims of nazism were displaced too. Lebensraum im Osten was one of the main drivers for the war. Exactly the same as stealing territories is for Israel.

At what point does the world decide the Palestinians need a country of their own as recompense and carve it out of some other territory?

Quietly?? With bombs??
They were very quiet bombs.
Does a bomb make sound if no one is left to hear it?
Does a genocide make a sound with no one to hear it?
Genocide.

The definition does not require murder of every member. It also specifies intent, not completion.
Ok, so they did the genocide when originally annexing the West Bank.
The genocide is ongoing.
lol what? You just enjoy running cover for genocide that much that you’ll do it in your free time? Fuckin sad

“It wasn’t or isn’t ‘genocide,’ because …” They may enter definitional or rhetorical argumentation."
You only have one life and now you will spend it knowing you voted for a genocider and still lost to an even worse genocider lmao
You’re a piece of shit
I fear you may be oblivious to your own flaws.
They actually get paid per comment and engagement, it would be sad if they are not even getting paid
genocide is annihilation of a culture
Fucking Zionists.
Jewish people are alive. Was the holocaust not a genocide?

Germany is pretty big…
Anyone who “stands with Israel” is a demon who stands with genocide.
Absolute evil. I hope Netanyahu answers for his crimes one day.

Great job, western world for upholding ‘freedom and democracy’ around the world /s
I wonder where are the usual idiots whining about tankies when their country sends actual tanks
