The law ( the Leahy Law) requires that the US vet any foreign military receiving US arms. However, that doesn’t happen with Israel

    They’ve killed 0.6% of the population, counting enemy militants.

    Gaza is 5x the density of Mosul, in which the US (who quite obviously was not committing genocide) killed ~10,000 civilians.

    Things can be shitty and not be genocide.

      Again, I really don’t to weigh in on whether or not it is genocide, if only because I’m not gonna change anybody’s opinion here. Alls I’m saying is that the qualifications for genocide do not include the destruction of the entire, or even the majority of, the population.

        Any sane look at the situation makes it obvious it is not genocide

          And I’m still not trying to argue with you on that. I’m just saying that the numbers you’re citing do not support your case. There are most definitely situations where killing 0.6% of a population would be considered genocide.

            Maybe, if they fit any of the other criteria, which Israel obviously does not

              Please point to where I said anything explicitly disagreeing with that.

          Raz Segal is an associate professor of Holocaust and genocide studies at Stockton University and the endowed professor in the study of modern genocide.

          TIL A Jewish professor of Holocaust and genocide studies is insane.
