Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.

4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.

7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link.

MODERATORS
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.
