Are we seeing genocide in Gaza?
Before you say it, I fully support Israel in its desire to wipe out Hamas. The organization are terrorists, criminals, and by their own words genociders with respect to Jews. I have been very reluctant to post here on DU what my feelings are, knowing our community is engaged passionately in the issue but with differing views. I respect all views.
These are mine.
The tactics of Netanyahu are, in my view, also genocidal. Under his orders, the forces he controls have herded Gazans into an ever smaller area that they now say they will commence bombing. They continue to withheld food, water, medical support, and shelter from Gazans. These seem very much genocidal actions.
I believe we need to find the right balance to support Israel while breaking with Netanyahu. We need to do this immediately if not sooner.
30,000 dead Palestinians is just plain inexcusable. I believe it constitutes genocide.
I blame Netanyahu.
I could go on much longer but think this encapsulates it well.
