    Exactly. Do better than innuendo.

    There are few more tremendous claims than genocide. Your proof if it comes will not be a 1000 cuts. It will be one tremendous one.
    "in whole or in part"

    Israel's actions and words already comport with ethnic cleansing and genocide. With total US support so far.

    Show me or let me listen to the order. Let me see a transcript from a cabinet meeting. Let's see the systemic intent.

    All I see is bull .

    I also think the complete destruction of Hamas is a pipe dream. Israel won't be able to withstand the political cost in war deaths -- and hostages -- required to get it done, even if they could do it.

    You underestimate the value Jews put on life. Unlike Christians, all the religious laws can be suspended to save it. Political slaughter will have to yield at some point. Too many Israelis will have died.
    And Israel will be less safe. Not because of the Hamas massacre, but because of Israel's barbaric reaction to it.

    All I see is the indiscriminate killing and wanton immiseration of civilians. I don't think we need the minutes of cabinet meetings to figure out what's going on at ground level. Death, suffering, starvation and disease will tell that tale.

    Okay, if you say so. I would have to know more specifics about Palestinian people in particular to make such a claim and have a picture of the aftermath.

    Sure, I've been meaning to post about that too. There are lots of things that matter that spoiled Americans don't give a about, but that doesn't mean they don't matter.

    Nor does that mean that Gaza doesn't matter because the scale of wholesale slaughter is smaller.

    I'm sure it's all worth it for our cheap rechargeable batteries, that's just the way life is, right?

    When people are being slaughtered for political or economic expediency it isn't just outrage porn (for those who enjoy it) it's a crime against real people.

    Well the South Sudanese are being rounded up and killed en masse for months in a process that I think can easily be described as genocide. Can you understand how I might find your approach disproportional and led?

    Nope.

    UN and Geneva definitions don't require that.

    What standard are you using? Are all genocides required to be the same in method and scale? Surely, if it were desired to devise rules against genocide, it would be most inefficient to stipulate particular methods or quan ative thresholds of killing.

    I am saying that there is evidence of systemic intent when the warlord orders villages butchered, systemic rape, and enslavement. Child soldier fun. The scenes from there are outrageous too.

    Your problem is that Israel has a justification for war and there exists a concept known as collateral damage. The scenes remain outrageous either way.

    Ah, collateral damage. Justified purely by a just cause of war.

    So then, given a just cause, is there any level of destruction and killing -- in your opinion -- that isn't justified?

    Sure but that argument puts the burden of proof on you. And again if you want to make a tremendous claim then you need to provide tremendous proof.

    All the war targets are presumptively justified, without independent verification? That seems a big bias for one side, to me.

    There is a paper and recording trail. It will be nice when Netanyahu is gone so the Democrats can forgive Israel for him being such an underhanded to Obama.

    Wut? Obama?

    It doesn't seem that Biden is punishing Israel for that.

    Israel itself will punish Netanyahu for being a crook and failing to protect the country from Hamas

    Events on the ground will put the lie to sterile legalisms and cabinet minutes, though, to be honest, those minutes could turn out to be damning if they're ever disclosed. There's no guarantee that they will be, tbh. Especially if they're derogatory to Israel.

    You are aware of what Netanyahu did to Obama when he invited him and the Palestinians to a Peace conference embarrassing the out of him right?
