@elephballerina@CryptoMackVille@Mr_Andrew_Fox How about the majority of Gaza's infrastructure and buildings. Schools, hospitals, places of worship. The IPC confirmed that there was a famine in 2025 based on the facts on the ground. Not to mention that currently Gaza is teetering on that line again
@AGLproCrypto@Mr_Andrew_Fox Yes that's also not what genocide is. It's not killing a certain percentage of a population. There's no specific threshold for it. It's about intent, and the fact that they've openly talked about it shows that
@ukvillafan@Mr_Andrew_Fox Yes it is that, and it's killed over 70,000 people, most of which are civilians. Why do you think Gaza's population has decreased by 10% since October 7th? Death and displacement that's why. They do want Palestinians gone, whether it's by killing them or by displacing them
@Jamie154182@willchamberlain@mehdirhasan I mean... They have done it tho. And it's still going on. Why do you think most of Gaza has been destroyed, and so many civilians have been killed. And they've literally talked about displacing Palestinians
@Rhino787@EdenRuminski Firstly that's not the point I'm making. Secondly, you think that this Israeli regime just pulls back after that? You've clearly not paid attention to the history over the last 80 years
@NPARGH@elephballerina@TedMoondust Right okay, not sure what your point is. The Holocaust was obviously a bigger scale than any other. But I'm not in the business of comparing genocides. The point is that this is one
@NPARGH@elephballerina@TedMoondust Erm, you do know that the Warsaw Ghetto had cafés and restaurants right? Siege societies always have black markets and elite spots for the few who have money to be able to afford it. That doesn't change the fact that this is a famine, as confirmed by the IPC
@NPARGH@TedMoondust You think these tik took videos represent all Palestinians easily being able to get food? You realise that most Palestinians can't afford that stuff right?
@ColdCathodeMan@NPARGH@Mr_Andrew_Fox And you can make the case that the allies committed war crimes, like the bombing of Dresden and the atom bomb attacks on Japan. But that doesn't excuse what's happened since
@ColdCathodeMan@NPARGH@Mr_Andrew_Fox Oh so the actual genocide definition can't be taken seriously? The one in the Genocide Convention itself. There is differences, the US were trying to achieve a military objective, whilst Israeli regime has shown intent to want the Palestinians gone, and the land for themselves
@elephballerina@TedMoondust@NPARGH You think this represents all Palestinians easily being able to get food? You realise that most Palestinians can't afford that stuff right?
@vtlynch1@Mr_Andrew_Fox I literally am real. Just because I used it to articulate a point better than I could myself doesn't change that. And it doesn't change the facts. You're just delusional. Actually tackle the facts rather than just being a prick
@vtlynch1@Mr_Andrew_Fox What a weirdo you are, summing up a point to articulate it better doesn't change the facts. Maybe try and actually tackle the facts rather than this
@CryptoMackVille@Mr_Andrew_Fox Destruction of conditions needed for life is the literal text of the UN Genocide Convention. Using blockade to manufacture a famine is the exact legal definition of genocide, along with preventing births and serious bodily harm
@vtlynch1@Mr_Andrew_Fox Sharing cherry-picked social media clips doesn't disprove systemic starvation. International courts and the UN judge genocide based on comprehensive data from doctors and experts on the ground, not internet videos
@Hunter_RileyG@MayaBarakvc8w The percentage isn't part of the definition. In part doesn't have a certain percentage threshold. Also, the population in Gaza has decreased by 10% since October 7th due to both displacement and killing
@MiaMBloom@Mr_Andrew_Fox Not to mention plenty of Israeli government officials have shown genocidal intent through their rhetoric, not to mention the civilian to combatant ratio in terms of deaths
@MiaMBloom@Mr_Andrew_Fox The only reason polio returned to Gaza after 25 years is because the blockade destroyed the water and sewage systems. Agreeing to brief pauses so a cross-border disease doesn't infect their own population doesn't erase the intent behind a total siege
