        … It’s not. Do you even know what genocide means?

          Yes I do. Very well. Explain to me how it does not meet the criteria that qualifies it as a genocide, aka a systematic killing of a culture.

          It would be extremely difficult for you to do that because what’s being done is fucking genocide, shit head.

            Ah that’s the problem, you don’t know the definition.

            Genocide involves killing people. Educate yourself

              Just because you can’t see this happening with your face wedged firmly within the cheeks of your own ass, doesn’t mean this isn’t happening. Go fuck yourself fascist.

              Educate yourself.

              The history of forced/coerced emigration sure isn’t a pretty one.

              I’m certain you don’t give a shit about a good faith argument but I’ve got one anyway. Moving so many people to another country is absurd. There wouldn’t be remotely adequate infrastructure ready to support them. It would be an immediate humanitarian disaster. It wouldn’t be surprising when a great deal of people wouldn’t be interested in leaving their ancestral home to become a refugee.

              Removing an entire ethnicity (or in this case, every ethnicity but one) from a country is genocidal because it’s never been done without a huge amount of death, whether they are gunned down or forced to relocate.

              This strategy will likely be used to justify the continued slaughter of Gazans by the flimsy logic that “they could have just left.”

              Gladly. Per Wikipedia,

              Genocide is the intentional destruction of a people in whole or in part.

              In 1948, the United Nations Genocide Convention defined genocide as any of five “acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group”. These five acts were: killing members of the group, causing them serious bodily or mental harm, imposing living conditions intended to destroy the group, preventing births, and forcibly transferring children out of the group. Victims are targeted because of their real or perceived membership of a group, not randomly.

              Oops.
