    What is the general public opinion in Israel? Any large number of Israelis opposed to this genocide?

        Is this your professional opinion as an expert in international law, or?

            So what kind of qualifications do you have to make this assessment, that it’s not a genocide despite looking exactly like one?

                  No one can deny genocide. Whether they like it or not, Israel is currently commiting genocide against the Palestinian people. And as someone who has jewish ancestry (and was assigned this religion before becoming an atheist), any Jew who supports this makes me wanna vomit. There is no reason to support Israel’s current govt or endeavors. Peace is the only way forward. Restoring the occupied land to their rightful owners is the path forward.

            • A law degree and years of practice trying cases, interpreting and applying evidence and standards of proof, proving and disproving intent.

              A high number of civilian casualties does not equal a genocide. Especially not when they are being prevented from leaving by Hamas and being used as human shields.

              Proportionately, the total number of Palestinians compared to total number of Iraqis, there were 150 times more civilian deaths and Iraq per capita than in this war. Do you consider the US war in Iraq to be a genocide?
