Why does everything bad in the world need to be labeled genocide nowadays to be taken seriously? Gazans were living in horrible conditions prior to Oct 7th but how can there have been genocide while population growth rate was among the highest in the world? This seems to stretch the definition of the word beyond all recognition.
As far as your other claims I’d be interested to see the evidence if you can share it. Most of my reading happened earlier on and there were a lot of conflicting claims and misinformation flying. I assume by now we’ve got closer to the truth. My understanding is there were cases of rape even though many were exaggerated or even fabricated in some cases. I don’t know what you mean by the 1200 thing as that’s not mentioned in the tweet here. Are you referring to another post?
Bernie mentioned the 1200 in his full tweet. The real number is 1139.
Not everything is labeled Genocide. What is happening in Gaza is. Because it is Genocide.
Claiming only the last year was Genocide is like saying the Holocaust only happened in 1944 which was the mass extermination, and ignoring the part where people were put in concentration camps.
Shoving more people in a concentration camp is not “population growth”. Israel was systematically bombing and starving Gaza for a very long time.
