    Those points do not apply because there is no targeting.

    UN clarifies that, in genocide, victims are targeted because of their real or perceived membership of a group, not randomly.

    Why do you think Ireland is trying to expand the definition?

    The Gallant quote is from 2 days after the October 7 attack.

      Obvious? You ignore the definition.

      For starters Genocide is killing of people, targeted by ethnicity. Do you think that Israel are such bad shots that they can only manage to kill 2½% of Gazans (⅓ of them militants) while ⅔ of Jews were killed in the Holocaust?

      ProPals like Ireland are trying to change the legal definition of genocide in order to make the false equivalence.

      Yes, 1/3 of the population which is half under the age of 14 are fucking hamas militants. 1/3 of the people in every apartment building they blow up¹ are terrorists. You tell that damn literal mecha-hitler antisemite you're replying to! You tell him or her² good!

      Genocidal monsters like the entire nation of ireland are trying to use a definition of genocide proposed by famously ignorant antisemite rafael lemkin, and we should not let them defile our laws with his blatantly antisemitic propaganda! Stand strong, brother!

      ¹to make the idf look bad, they blow up their own buildings with people inside, they're absolute monsters. I know you know this, but our more ignorant readers may not.

      ²but not them, because recognizing singular they in english would be gay, and gay is weak and dilutes the pure blood of the hebrew master race. Obviously.

        Well that just sounds like laziness to me. Can you not do two morally compromising things at once, like gaslight an abused child and sell homeopathic cures outside an oncology ward?

            Is it not already targeted in that their intent is directed towards gazans?

              They already have all evidence needed and still slow the say for a fact what we already know for sure.

              It took it 12 years after the bostnian genocide as a genocice to declared it as such.

                  Sorry were you trying to say bosnian or bostonian there? It has been much longer than 12 years since the Bostonian genocide.

                                  Go educate your self instead of embarassing yourself.

                                  Occupation is not just having soldiers in the land.
                                  Control over borders, airspace, and territorial waters, as well as its population registry, and movement of goods and people is also occupation like israel do in gaza

                                  All the UN report consider gaza and the west bank occupied

                                  It's sad how quickly those rushing to defend Israeli violence fail to understand anything other than basic and easily disproven talking points they've used.

                                  In other comments they didn't think there was any violence before Oct 7.so not at all surprising they didn't realize Gaza has been occupied and controlled by Israel

                                    Meanwhile...

                                    The death toll in Sudan's ongoing civil war is estimated to be significantly higher than previously reported, with studies suggesting that over 150,000 people may have died since the conflict began in April 2023. The majority of these deaths are attributed to violence, preventable diseases, and starvation, particularly affecting vulnerable populations in regions like Khartoum and Darfur.

                                    Doesn't get as much attention because why? Muslim on Muslim? Brown on Brown? And yet it involves (unlike Gaza) systemic targeting of civilians based on ethnicity.

                                      As others said, actually do research before rushing to the defense of anyone.

                                      Just one example of the occupation is Israel controls all water in Gaza, including rain water

                                        Genocide doesn't count unless you kill over 66% of people. Literally you can kill 65% of people in a country and it doesn't count, it's a life hack that makes the ICC go "blast it!". Israel said so.

                                        On a real note, using Jewish genocide in this disingenuous way is actual antisemitism.

                                          American here. Israel's genocide is more relevant here because our country is their official ally. We have few/no ties to Sudan. It's not a relative horror thing, it's a "if I don't speak up, I directly support genocide" thing.
