Trump says Palestinians have ‘no alternative’ but to leave Gaza

Ah, sorry I didn’t know, like I said English is not my native language so I just copy what I read. But now I know to say better, thanks for explaining.

There is no meaningful difference between getting rid of a group by forcefully removing them and destroying them.
Please read that again. There’s a gigantic difference between dead or alive.
100,000 Armenians were ethnically cleansed in 2023 with less than a dozen civilian deaths. Compared that to the Armenian Genocide at the beginning of the 20th century with a million deaths.
Using the same term genocide for both is watering down the term. It betrays why it was coined in the first place.
Of course it’s still a terrible crime.

The UN and aid organizations of course don’t publicize their inability to distribute aid inside Gaza. They will always blame Israel. However there are also statements by aid organizations and UN that they can’t distribute because of armed groups.
COGAT are the ones actually checking and counting the trucks going into Gaza.

That’s a very selective reading and being intentionally misleading, that was only the problem AFTER 13 months of Israeli forces not allowing trucks in. Look at what they were saying in October and earlier, the main obstacle was trucks not being allowed in.
You’re denying what NGOs and the UN were reporting for the 14 months prior; aid was not being allowed in by Israel. Biden said it, and Netanyahu admitted it. It was intentional to try and pressure Gazans into a ceasefire, and it was illegal.

You can look at the actual data for UNRWA and WFL only and you will see that there were always trucks getting in.
They even stress that this is only a part of the aid getting into Gaza.
undermines our ability to track data on goods handled by some international non-governmental organizations, the Red Cross / Red Crescent and the commercial sector.
Go on an find a day where no truck got in.

Luis Moreno Ocampo, the inaugural prosecutor of the International Criminal Court, has classified the ethnic cleansing of Nagorno-Karabakh Armenians as a second Armenian genocide, and opined that the inaction of the international community encouraged Azerbaijan to act with impunity.[34][35]
The number of deaths has nothing to do with it. The intent is the same, the only difference between the two genocides is that they were less successful at killing people in the second one. The only people that are helped by defending a distinction between ethnic cleansing and genocide, that does not exist, are the people who want to commit genocide.

Try and tell that to the face of someone whose whole family died in death camps.

My argument is genocide is bad, ethnic cleansing is bad, and that there is no meaningful difference between the two.
Your argument is genocide is bad, ethnic cleansing is frowned but somehow less bad, and that there is a meaning distinction between ethnic cleansing and genocide that your argument does not articulate.
-
Genocide denial is still genocide denial even if your argument uses victims of one genocide to deny that genocide happened to other groups of people.

Do you hold the Israeli forces that hold hostage without atrial or any evidence of wellbeing to the same standard?
