Quite the strawman. People deploying the word "genocide" are either ignorant of what the word means or are intentionally misusing it for political purposes because they would otherwise be faced with having to discuss why this war began at all. Word play debates do little to alleviate people’s suffering. Denial of the other side’s humanity & dueling victimhood, eliminate empathy. We’ve had FEW cases of legal genocide since 1948, the question is how do these debates help long term?
You were the one who said they were doing it to stop Hamas. So were the 5000+ children part of Hamas or not?
Also, 'legal genocide' is weaseling out of this. Trump didn't 'legally' commit rape against E. Jean Carroll. He still raped her.
Again, you are forcing a strawman. This war began with the barbarity of October 7th. As with all wars, there are civilian causality.
I also wouldn't put too much faith in the numbers as they come from Hamas. Not only do they not differentiate between their own members and civilians, but have been known to fabricate for propaganda purposes as I explained.
The term genocide is a criminal charge and has a legal definition. Making up a definition is weaseleing out, not using a proper legal definition
Actually, the judge said he did commit rape.
How many wars kill 5000 children in less than 2 months? Amazing you find that acceptable.

He was not legally found to have raped her. It was not legally rape. The judge said it was still rape because it was still rape despite what the law says.
Syria, Libya, Yemen, Ethiopia, Somalia, etc etc
Millions dead. Almost 40 million forcibly displaced.
When the judge says you're guilty, you're guilty.
The judge did not say he was legally guilty of rape. Read the article.
I'm really not interested in Trump's rape today. See ya
"You proved me wrong, but I can't admit it. Bye." Gotcha.
Hope you leaned something.
Yes, I learned that you can't admit you're wrong in the face of blatant evidence.
You certainly are full of yourself. Must be fun at parties.
Insulting me will not make you less wrong, sorry. Also, you lied when you said "I’m really not interested in Trump’s rape today. See ya" since you're still talking to me. I'm guessing you won't admit to that either.
Bwhahahahaha.
Yep. That's what I thought. Can't admit you're wrong, can't admit you lied.
FfS. You were completely right about Trump, which has nothing to do with the subject of this string. I was wrong about that minor ussue. You were wrong about the rest. Feel better now? Then get out of my sight.
That's one. Now are you going to admit you lied when you suggested you were done talking to me?
I've tried to say goodbye to you several times and you hang around like a psycho girlfriend. If that amuses you, perhaps some professional help is needed.
Similar to before, insulting me won't make you less of a liar.
Also, I don't have to stop talking to you just because you want me to. You, however, can stop replying any time you like. That you don't do it suggests that maybe you should think about what you just accused me of.
Rapidcreek is all over lemmy justifying Israel's genocide. Makes me wonder if they're an active member in that massive disinformation group in China.
Wouldn't exactly shock me.
Yet, nothing I have said has been proven to be false, and I don't run around like a little coward after the fact to bad mouth anyone.
Maybe not, but you whine a lot which gets pretty annoying.
Just calling out a coward.
You need more 🧀 I guess.
