    So is saying that we shouldn’t kill innocent humans ‘A big deal’

    Was the world up till now thinking that Palestinians are not humans?

    Are only Jews protected under the genocide convention?

    What the fuck is going on?

      I know you’re being sarcastic, but yeah. The situation is so dire that having someone at least come out and say “This is wrong” is a net improvement.

      Israel argued that because Jews were affected by a genocide, Israel is therefore unable to commit it themselves.

      The tl;dr is:

      1. Palestinians are protected under the genocide conventions.
      2. Israel needs to take steps to ensure genocide is not being committed.
      3. Israel needs to improve humanitarian aid to Gaza.
      4. Come back in a month.

      Internet warriors distorted reality and made you believe self-defense is genocide. Although terrible, what the Palestinians are experiencing right now is nothing like what the Jews experienced in world war II, which is what the genocide statutes were written to address. Were they being forced into trains and worked to death or put into gas chambers, I guarantee you they would apply.

        Are you really saying we should go holocaust level before anyone should take action?

              Wait until the legal definition applies before punishing people for breaking the law.
