      I took it from a different user who created it to combat misinformation and have been re-using it because of comments such as yours.

      You’re entire argument is why you don’t believe it’s genocide when I’ve given you sources by credible institutions and hundreds of scholars explaining why this viewpoint is wrong. To take your climate change denial example, in this case you’re the climate change denier who’s intentionally ignoring the voice of so many experts and very blatant evidence.

      You’re link to the ICJ ruling doesn’t prove your point. They didn’t say there was no genocide. This is what they said:

      Rather, she said, the purpose of the ruling was to declare that South Africa had a right to bring its case against Israel and that Palestinians had “plausible rights to protection from genocide” - rights which were at a real risk of irreparable damage.

      The judges had stressed they did not need to say for now whether a genocide had occurred but concluded that some of the acts South Africa complained about, if they were proven, could fall under the United Nations’ Convention on Genocide.

      So they didn’t say it wasn’t genocide. They just said the case of genocide brought forth by South Africa can proceed.

      Removed and temp banned for repeated genocide denial and misinformation.

      To be 100% clear here, the precise definition of a genocide has five criteria, it only takes ONE to be declared a genocide.

      Israel’s actions in Gaza meet ALL FIVE requirements.

      (a) Killing members of the group;

      (b) Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group;

      © Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part;

      (d) Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group;

      (e) Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group.
