    Will they criminalise denial of the Gaza genocide, you know, the one that is currently underway?

      Not yet. The ICJ is still examining the mountain of evidence. It will probably take a few more years.

      I dont think we coined the term Holocaust until after the Germans lost the war. I imagine it’ll be the same with Gaza. History needs to happen and be written first.

        None of this is accurate even if history started on Oct 7.

        You are blatantly lying.

        Jewish human rights groups and human rights groups all over the world as well as genocide scholars all over the world are calling what is happening a genocide. I’ll put more weight on their conclusions than someone who has nine bullet points of Zionist hasbara.

          I’d say there is overwhelming evidence that this is likely genocide, but we can’t say it is one until the ICJ finishes reviewing the mountain of evidence against Israel

            50,000 died of a population of 2 million (many of them militants). 2.5%, while a tragic loss of life, does not compare with the Holocaust where one-third of the Jewish population worldwide, and two-thirds of European Jews, had been wiped out.

            If Israel is intent on genocide they aren’t very good at it. They could have wiped out ⅔ of Gazans in the first week after October 7 but chose not to. Meanwhile Hamas and Hezbollah to this day call for ridding the Levant of all Jews but cannot.

            Many more lives will be lost by Hamas not surrendering but it is a sacrifice Tankies in the comfort of their Western homes are willing to make.

              50,000 died of a population of 2 million

              No 50,000 direct deaths from Isreali munitions were able to be positively IDed. The actual number of deaths was estimated at a quarter million mid last yeah, and is probably at least twice that now, based on comments Trump made.

              You need to read the definition of genocide. I highly recommend following that with the south African report to the ICJ

                Gazan civilians are not being “targeted”. It is Hamas and Hezbollah who are intent on genocide. I mean they actual say it - why not believe them?

                If Israel is intent on genocide they aren’t very good at it. They could have wiped out ⅔ of Gazans in the first week after October 7 but chose not to. Meanwhile Hamas and Hezbollah to this day call for ridding the Levant of all Jews but Cannot.

                Trump’s talk of “evicting” Gazans to Libya is disturbing. That would be ethnic cleansing.

                    Why do you think Israel didn’t wipe out the Gazan population already?

                    Let me present to you for the third time…

          Lemmy is supposed to be our sanctuary from schoolyard level taunts, not our sanctuary from views we don’t like.

            Yes I remember in grade school being harassed by being called a liar after saying grass is blue and the sky is green.

                Calling out bullshit isn’t being uncomfortable with other viewpoints.

                Sorry not everyone has unlimited patience for fascist and/or genocide supporters. But thems the breaks when you hold shitty viewpoints.
