“As per the Genocide Convention, the crime of genocide occurs only where there is specific ‘intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnic, racial or religious group’,” he said in the letter seen by Reuters.
“The government has not concluded that Israel is acting with that intent.”
That’s strange. The International Association of Genocide Scholars explicitly said that Israel’s actions in Gaza meet the legal definition of Genocide under Article II of the UN Genocide Convention.

I guess we can trust a government that is actively supporting Israel and repressing protests to be telling us the truth, and a Prime Minister who said it was ok to cut off electricity and water to two million people in Gaza.
Ah, OK. Thank you, England, for helping to create a far more clear definition of “genocide”.
Now I understand that, when a leader says “they deserve to all die” openly on national news, while actively carpet bombing them, it doesn’t mean they have an intent to destroy a certain group.
Looking back I realise how very silly it was to mistake something so direct and obvious as genocide.
“We’ve investigated our co conspirators and determined they’ve done nothing wrong”
So Israel is just lobbing bombs in at random while starving them, and accidentally destroying a national ethnic group?
no the brits are saying that there is no conclusive proof of targeting or destroying a group, they’re targeting terrrorists
Israelis claim all Palestinians are terrorists, even the children. Thats just filthy racism and supremacy.
And jimmy90 can you explain why journalists and aid workers were targetted and murdered?
Yeah as in “whoops, oh no we accidentally hit another hospital. Oh well, it was full of terrorists anyway - look here’s a gun that they left lying around for some reason.”
Britain is the root cause of this issue.
The root cause is people too stupid to live in the real world and not mythology.
Given that the founders and early adopters of Zionism were predominantly atheist, that is not the root cause of anything.
If people want to admit it was always about fascism and land theft rather rather than religion, thats great.
Yes, that is the point I was trying to make.
I think water is a large part of the conflict, but its rarely talked about. Israel steals a great deal of water from all of its neighbors, specifically because they believe they are entitled to a higher standard of living. Having pools, lush gardens, and even growing tomatoes and oranges when that makes very little sense in the desert. Agriculture is literally 2% of their GDP, a rounding error, yet they waste massive amounts of water on it.
On the flip side, Palestinians in Gaza are the most water-poor people in the world, making it by on 1/10th (or less, in many cases) of the average water used by Israelis on any given day. This is despite the fact that a major aquifer is beneath their territory, but the Israelis bleed that aquifer dry from the territory that they illegally occupy. Similarly, they hijack virtually all of the water from the Jordan river and send it through the National Water Carrier before it ever reaches Jordan. They have a third source of water from another aquifer, but it is much smaller than the western aquifer, and desalination is probably more expensive than committing genocide against their neighbors.
Were getting to a point where the Jordan is hardly more than a small waste-filled creek, and the western aquifer is getting overtapped by their absurd usage of the water. As the water table drops, they will need to be further inside Gaza in order to tap the western aquifer because their settlements are largely at higher elevations. So, before they inevitably lose the water they “need” to keep wasting so much water, they are using the specter of national security as a pretext for wiping out the strip and thereby securing access to the largest source of fresh water
you just hate jews moving back to israel, huh
Get your Hasbara nonsense the fuck out of here, but also that has literally nothing to do with what I’m talking about.
Back to palestine
come on lets give the romans their dues
