'We Are Too Humane. Burn Gaza Now' Says Senior Israeli Lawmaker

never mind.

According to the Convention, genocide is a crime that can take place both in time of war as well as in time of peace. The definition contained in Article II of the Convention describes genocide as a crime committed with the intent to destroy a national, ethnic, racial or religious group, in whole or in part.

Again, particular emphasis on 'in whole or in part'.

Your argument that there should be many more dead if Israel was targeting civilians is just bogus and shows your attempt to whitewash the crimes committee by Israel.

According to the independent Euro-Mediterranean Human Rights Monitor, which is chaired by US emeritus law professor and former UN special rapporteur on Palestine, Richard Falk, the civilian death toll as of 20 November is 16,413, with nearly 34,000 injured. This would mean one in every 142 Palestinian civilians killed in a month and a half

That's around 1 in 140 civilians who have been killed without discussing how many have been badly injured or injured altogether (34,000 according to the article).

Let's see what 1 in 140 means taking for example the US Population of around 340,000,000

That's 2,428,571 people.


Intent to destroy is clear on both sides either it's Hamas or the Israeli Army and their Politicians (some of them). All you need to do is take a look at their genocidal rhetoric where they ask for Gaza to be burned, erased from the face of the Earth, and even nuked. The topic of this thread shows clear genocidal rhetoric.

So you say there is no "intent" therefore, there isn't intent?

Just because you say so doesn't make it true.

This post is about an Israeli law maker literally calling for genocide and you say there is no intent!

You can determine intent from words and actions.

Israel lawmakers call for genocide.

Israel then bomb civilians
Stops food and water
Bombs enough to leave 80% of the population homeless
Bombs hospitals

Israel is committing genocide!

Yes, it looks like the bogus argument is repeated again and again as the poster tries hard to whitewash the crimes committed by Israel and then gaslight anyone who points to the obvious.

As you correctly said, intent is determined from actions and words. And both actions and words clearly show intent to kill and destroy.

The irony is that the topic of this thread shows precisely the genocidal rhetoric used by some of the Israeli Politicians.

This is about one lawmaker saying that Israel should kill the Palestinians before the Palestinians kill all of Israel. You are going to find a few of them who say that because it's a natural response and SELF DEFENSE. The actual POLICY of Israel is just the opposite - not targeting civilians, trying to minimize civilian deaths, letting in food/water/fuel aid, opening evacuation corridors, etc. 2.3 million Gaza citizens and only a few thousand dead. That's not genocide and thats' obviously not 'intent' of genocide on the part of the Israeli government.

More attempts to whitewash the crimes committed by Israel. And it's not one lawmaker by the way. There are menu on the record who have argued for Gaza to be burned, nuked, erased from the face of the Earth, and their inhabitants either killed or driven out it Gaza or both. Clear incitements to genocide and ethnic cleansing.

You said let Israel have that little bit of land in a thread about Gaza. So where are the 2 million Gazans going to go?

Some people want them out of Gaza and driven to the desert. But the fact hundreds of thousands have already been forcibly displaced shows clear intentions of ethnic cleansing. And forced displacement is a war crime by the way.

Recently the South African Government has asked that Netanyahou and his Government are arrested and brought before the International Criminal Court. Not the only Government to have done so.

www.africanews.com...

The South African government on Monday called on the International Criminal Court to issue an arrest warrant for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu by mid-December.

Minister in the Presidency Khumbudzo Ntshavheni said it would signal a "total failure" of global governance if the ICC does not do so.

"The world cannot simply stand by and watch. The global community needs to rise to stop this genocide now," said Ntshavheni.

Pay particular attention to: 'The global community needs to rise to stop this genocide now'

South Now well what Apartheid & genocide mean in contrast to you and others who seems to be confused.

I think you are confused on who the posters are. But it looks like there are attempts to censor part of the debate as it doesn't fit the official narrative. When one side is censored then you can be sure this side is on the right side of history.

Not to forget this is another incitement to genocide but there have been many so far that clearly shoe the intent by these politicians and members of the Army who want to completely annihilate and destroy Gaza and kill its inhabitants.
