there's no "applicable life experience" that justifies genocide.
If it really was genocide, why has the population of Gaza increased by 100% in the last decade? Shouldn't that number go down?
Since the breakout of the war, it’s gone down by over 10,000, 40% have been innocent women and children.
Couldn't answer the question. War is war, and innocents die, but 5hat doesn't make it genocide.
I literally answered— unless you ignore the killings of innocent women and children,, and it also meets several of the conditions of the UN’s definition of genocide.
No you didn't. You deflected and didn't answer the question. You can try again. If genocide, how has Palestinian population grown by 100%?
Once again: since the outbreak of the war, the population has decreased by over 10,000, 40% of which are innocent women and children, and it also meets several of the conditions of the UN’s definition of genocide.
Just because you don’t like the answer doesn’t mean I didn’t give you one.
But that isn't genocide.
Genocide is the "the deliberate killing of a large number of people from a particular nation or ethnic group with the aim of destroying that nation or group". People die in war. Sad fact. But, that doesn't mean it meets the criteria of genocide.
Only if you ignore the rest of the conditions in the definition:
Sorry, but everybody is a member of a group. Since that is your definition is used that for the rest of your criteria, this doesn't make much sense.
It’s not my definition, the the UN’s definition— and it makes sense when you don’t ignore the facts, such as the deaths of innocent women and children, which, btw, also make it a war crime.
The UN can't even say that the Hamas massacre was wrong. China and Russia voted no, but, go ahead and use them if it suits your purpose. It would never make it through criminal court and you dilute a very important word.
Only if you ignore what the UN is saying while continuing to ignore the facts, such as all the dead women and children.
More of the UN’s declarations of war crimes committed
First of all, I gave you facts. Secondly,, i have a long list of nightmares and if you want to invoke my sympathy you best do better than repeat "women and children" ad nausium.
You ignored facts, and I’m not here to appeal to your sympathy. And if you don’t like being reminded of the women and children who’ve been killed, too bad.
So you dont have much and you'll continue to spout BS. Don't need to spend time with you. See ya.
I’ve backed up my claims with evidence— again, which you continue to ignore. Just like the dead women and children.
And you’ve already spent more than a day arguing in circles about it.
It is.
It is exactly genocide, intent isn't a requirement, it's an enhancement.
Because children without parents fuck a lot. Go figure.

Also accurate.
