Terry, terry terry, read the UN Convention on prevention of genocide, Article II.

To charge genocide you must prove intent, all else all other articles follow.

Now it is up to you to prove that the state of Israel has an intention to genocide Arabs, especially when they have Arab citizens in their own borders.

And how can a nation of 12 million, 10 million of which are Jews, secular and sectarian, even embark upon a genocide of billions of Arabs, much less a billion Muslims.?

Playing loose with words is dishonest propaganda, and may make you feel good, but it does violence when real genocide occurs.

You should learn the parable of the boy that cried wolf.

Not genocide against the Arabs, just the Palestinians living in Gaza. The idea is to make Gaza uninhabitable so the Israelis can move in and develop it. Dig out all of the oil underneath and off the coast, and build their Ben Gurion canal. This they have publicly stated back in November. Netanyahu has already taken bids from the fossil fuel industry on the premise that he and his coalition will control the land. I don't see where I posted about a 'genocide' against the Arabs in general. Sorry if I did. That was not my intention.

Where is the intent to obliterate the "Palestinians". There is none, and you can't obliterate that which does not exist.

There is no state called Palestine. What lives there are Arabs, Bedouins of the Muslim faith.

If they are trying to make the area unihabitable for the Arabs, then they are making it uninhabitable for themselves. If you mean that there are right wing Jews in Israel, that are trying to drive the Arabs out, I agree. but at this juncture we are talking of Gaza not the west bank, for that is where the fighting is.

I am aware of Netanyahu's attitude and intentions towards the Arabs, it is that of the Likkud, the right wing and the orthodox settlers, but they are not all Israel either. Anymore than MAGAts and Trump are all America.

I am also aware that . During the past half-century, the Israeli government has drilled approximately 470 wells in Israel, the West Bank and Gaza.

And I am aware that there is a developer scam selling Gaza land to Israeli's, and that Jared Kushner has plans to build seaside condo's in Gaza.

The best laid plans of mice and men go afoul, and are of naught unless one is given an impetus and excuse and HAMAS did that on Oct 7th.

Driven by Insane hatred of the Jews, (and it is religiously motivated, don't make me quote them, the Quran and hadith again) they cowards have shot themselves in the foot.

Israel is not going anywhere. Einstein said that the definition of insanity is doing the same thing again and again expecting different results.

Well the Arabs are insane, they tried to genocide the Jews in 1948, 1956,1967, 1973, 2006 and again on Oct 7th, and they failed each time, and each time they fail they lose more territory.

Yahya Sinwar said that they won't stop, because they are a nation of martyrs (well the fools and tools are, not the leadership) and will keep coming back again and again.

All they are doing is assuring that there will never be a Palestinian State.

Brilliant strategists, brilliant statesmen, the Arabs, they can't be they are fueled by religious righteousness and hatred.
