    No reasonable people have been calling it a genocide for a long time, downplaying the intent to erase the Palestinian people is genocide denial.

    They have targeted every hospital & cultural center, it’s clearly intentional erasure of Palestinian, even if it’s not the goal to litterally kill every Palestinian… Yet

      yes, i remember pamphletes from the 70’s (just shortly after the replacement of the Egypt and Jordanian occupiers of what was supposed to form Palestine by Israel) where that new occupation was described as genocidal. afaict the Palestinian population grew ever since. so, if there’s really such intent as you imagine, “they” just haven’t learned from the Germans how to do it properly.

      you should also clearly condemn the installation of military installations close to civil infrastructure. i think building beneath such also qualifies as war crime. maybe you get the supposed targeting motivation right then as well.

        Have you seen where the IDF puts it’s military installations?

        Yeah, some people were ahead of the curve on realizing that Israel was a genocidal project to ethnically cleanse Palestine.

        afaict the Palestinian population grew ever since.

        Just an insane argument to make, Holocaust deniers make the same argument about Jewish population growth in the Jewish Ghettos the Nazis created
