Trump misspelled United States, and y’all misspelled subpoena.

How about we leave off the genocide part since there is no attempt to indiscriminately murder Gazans. The Jews did not attack the Nazis and Gazans are not being rounded up and sent to death camps. You want to see a real Genocide (besides those being today ignored in South Sudan, Rwanda, Myanmar, etc.)? Have every Israeli lay down their weapons and allow Hamas/Hezbollah to roam the countryside with their own

Just because a Polish-Jewish man created the word, does not mean Israel doesn’t have the capacity to enact it. All of Gaza is a death camp. It’s not a war. It’s a genocide. Tens of thousands of children murdered. Tens of thousands of Muslims of every generation murdered. Unarmed. Not fighting. Murdered. Muslim people in other areas of Palestine are being rounded up and forced out of their homes by Israeli settlers by gunpoint and displaced. Israeli settlers are burning their ancient olive orchards that they’ve made their livelihoods from for thousands of years. This has been happening for 75 years. It’s still happening today. It’s the definition of genocide.

Genocide is an international crime defined as any act committed with the specific intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnic, racial, or religious group. [https://www.ushmm.org/genocide-prevention/learn-about-genocide-and-other-mass-atrocities/what-is-genocide]

Legal Definition and Acts

According to the https://www.un.org/en/genocide-prevention/definition of 1948, genocide does not only mean mass killing. It includes any of these five categorized acts: [https://www.un.org/en/genocide-prevention/definition, https://www.ushmm.org/genocide-prevention/learn-about-genocide-and-other-mass-atrocities/what-is-genocide]

Killing members of the group.

Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group.

Deliberately inflicting conditions of life calculated to bring about the physical destruction of the group in whole or in part.

Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group.

Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group. [https://www.ushmm.org/genocide-prevention/learn-about-genocide-and-other-mass-atrocities/what-is-genocide]

If it’s a death camp why do we not see decreasing numbers? Did you see the photos of the massive barbed wire barriers Egypt, Gaza’s former owner, has put up between Gaza and themselves? Are children or even civilians being primarily targeted or are they injured/killed while Hamas has embedded themselves among them? 50,000+ rockets have been fired at Israel. If not for “Iron Dome” the casualties there would be enormous. As to the West Bank you have a point in that the expulsion snd land takeover fostered by Bibi, Kfir, and the Ultra-Orthodox (I don’t call them settlers) is wrong and should cease. What do YOU think would happen if Israel laid down its arms? Or if an unarmed Israeli man, woman, or child was to walk into Gaza City?
