Reply #35: It's hard to say when human rights abuses become genocide

[cali]

but I'd suggest that there would be many more deaths over the decades if genocide was going on. By the way, the U.N. does not deem Israeli actions in Gaza or the WB to be genocide. So if you're going by the U.N., you might take that into consideration.

As for your suggestion that there are those within the Israeli gov't who advocate making the Palestinians disappear, that's absolutely true- just as it's true that the Hamas charter calls for the destruction of Israel and all Jewish Israelis. That there are vile extremists among the Israelis and the Palestinians is hardly news.
