Question: In the Israel-Palestine conflict that started after Oct 7, 2023, does the evidence support the claim that Israel has perpetrated "genocide"? Give a yes/no answer. Then give your top three concise reasons for your answer.
Answer: No.
Intent and Scale: Genocide requires an intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnic, racial, or religious group. While there have been significant civilian casualties, the primary stated goal of Israel's military actions has been to dismantle Hamas's military capabilities rather than to destroy the Palestinian population as a group.
Legal and International Response: The International Court of Justice (ICJ) has not concluded Israel is committing genocide. Although South Africa brought a case alleging genocide, the ICJ's provisional measures do not confirm genocide but call for actions to prevent such acts, indicating the situation is under legal scrutiny rather than a confirmation of genocide.
Accusations vs. Evidence: Numerous accusations of genocide have been made by various groups and officials, but these are often based on interpretations of statements and actions rather than definitive legal evidence. Scholarly and international legal definitions of genocide require clear evidence of intent, which has been debated extensively without a consensus on its presence in this conflict.

Question: In the same conflict, does the evidence support the claim that Palestine and/or Hamas has the intent to perpetrate "genocide"? Give a yes/no answer. Then give your top three concise reasons for your answer.
Answer: Yes.
Hamas Covenant: Hamas's 1988 covenant explicitly calls for the destruction of Israel and contains antisemitic rhetoric, including references to a religious obligation to fight Jews until Judgment Day, which can be interpreted as genocidal intent.
Statements and Actions: Post-October 7, 2023, actions and statements by Hamas leaders have been cited as evidence of intent to commit genocide. For instance, the attack on October 7 was described by some analysts and scholars as having genocidal characteristics due to the indiscriminate targeting of civilians and the scale of violence.
Legal and Scholarly Interpretations: Several legal experts and genocide scholars have argued that Hamas's actions, particularly the October 7 attack, meet criteria for genocidal intent under international law. This includes analyses that cite the deliberate targeting of civilians with the intent to instill fear and cause destruction, which aligns with elements of genocide as per the Genocide Convention.
-
Question: Provide two more concise reasons each for your last two answers.
Answer:
For Israel:
Population Growth: Despite the conflict, the Palestinian population in Gaza has continued to grow, which contradicts the notion of a genocidal campaign aimed at the physical destruction of a group.
Humanitarian Aid: Israel has allowed humanitarian aid into Gaza, despite the blockade, which would not typically align with a genocidal strategy that aims for the destruction of a group's living conditions.
For Palestine/Hamas:
Post-Attack Celebrations: Celebrations in parts of Gaza and the West Bank following the October 7 attacks, coupled with rhetoric that praised the killing of civilians, suggest an intent to terrorize and potentially eradicate the Israeli population.
Education and Media: Hamas's control over education and media in Gaza has been used to propagate anti-Israeli and antisemitic narratives, promoting a culture of martyrdom and resistance that could be seen as fostering genocidal intent against Jews or Israelis.

This date will repeat itself. Our children will do everything to ensure that every year has an October 7th. History will repeat itself. I won't update you on the exact date.
But as a mother whose heart is torn, I promise you. Promise. Every year, Netanyaho, will be October 7th, God willing, is our promise with God and Mansour, and God willing Mansour.

The ceasefire has barely even taken effect and the "civilians" are already looking forward to their next opportunity to destroy Israel. They've learned nothing. There has been absolutely no impact on them in the 469 days after the Hamas terror attack. Their losses mean nothing to them.
When it starts again, and they will inevitably start it up again, I absolutely will not be able to bring myself to give a single shit what happens to these people. Why am I obligated to care more about their lives than they do? If they don't care about their lives or even the lives of their children - and they don't - why does it become my responsiblity to do so? I unequivocally reject being handed that burden.
They want war. They want to die. Their only objection is that they were losing the war they started.
Article about this. If anyone “controls the media,” it’s them.
Also this. There are more for both but the creator of this only used subs with more than 5000 members, if I remember correctly.
Seriously, read the article though. It goes into how these people are fully attempting to skew public opinion.
Number of Jews in the world: around 15 million
Number of members of a subreddit which auto bans anyone who has posted in a Jewish sub: around 20 million
In 2022, people were cancelling Stranger Things for the tattooed numbers being reminiscent of the Holocaust and them filming in Lukiškės Prison. Now, those same people are “cancelling” it for having multiple Jews “Zionists” who are a part of it. No opinions on the first part, but it’s just interesting to see.
it's cool how even normal people on the left have gone from like performatively complaining about how antisemitic harry potter was to just unilaterally deciding that jewish pain and antisemitism don't matter because someone might mistake them for a zionist if they defend us
A lot of leftists say that “The Left” is actually center, which I’ve always hated, but they aren’t entirely wrong. I have some opinions that most would consider right-leaning (pro-Israel, pro 2A, pro police), and leftists certainly don’t agree with most of them, but Democratic politicians do. It’s going to be pretty difficult to be a politician, whether Democrat or Republican, if you disagree with those three things. The thing is, “The Left” may be becoming slightly more center, but only because “The Right” has quickly turned into the far-right. Republicans are suddenly throwing up Nazi salutes, calling for the annexation of other countries, starting dehumanization efforts for immigrants and disabled people, etc. etc. and they have support. Which puts Democrats in a pretty hard position. They desperately need to lessen the support for the new far-right.
Which brings up another interesting question, how (most) leftists are able to connect Trump deporting people to El Salvador to concentration camps (I agree that a comparison should be made, even if they are, of course, not the exact same), but unable to connect “pro-Palestinian” protestors physically harming Jews or blocking them from entering places to pre-Holocaust Nazi Germany (where I also believe a comparison should be made). But that’s a post for another time…
omg bruh i just realized that my first post ever (abt being trans) was made a day before i came out, crazy how that works, huh?
Yes, I’d be curious to hear other Ashkenazi views on this. I’ve heard a few Mizrahim say the opposite, they do *not* want to be called Arab, only Mizrahi, because it was the Arabs who pushed them out of their countries. Older Ashkenazim seem to be the same, but in a more “they aren’t allowing me to be part of them” generational trauma way instead of an “I’m too angry at them” generational trauma way (from what I can tell).
I was talking to my Holocaust studies teacher about this. When asked his ethnicity, her father will always say Jewish, never Polish, and will even say “No, I’m Jewish” if someone “corrects” him and brings up Poland. She (my teacher) said it’s really generational trauma. European citizens were suddenly told they weren’t European at all, only Jewish, and for some that stuck.
Still, I’m curious about what others think. I might be different because of my circumstances; my Jewish side comes from Russia, but that side has been in America for a long time (I think maybe my great-great-grandparents were born there, but it might even be farther back). My Polish (gentile) family members were in concentration camps and some were killed. So I guess I don’t have a strong “Jewish specific” connection to Europe, just in general. But, again, I know antisemitism exists everywhere, and I still plan on spending the majority of my life in Israel (once i perfect my Hebrew).
I can only respond as an Ashkenazi, I don’t know how everyone else feels, but I disagree. I am a Zionist. I feel a strong cultural and religious connection to the homeland. I even plan on permanently living in Israel when I’m older. But I’m also European. My great-grandparents were born in Poland and Italy, and I feel a connection to those places. Additionally, I feel a strong connection to both Hebrew and Yiddish, and even as a Zionist I don’t think Yiddish should be “phased out.” It’s a language of our European history and I like that.
BRUH I LITERALLY JUST FOUND THIS ACCOUNT AGAIN I FORGOT I HAD IT
