You know? Honestly, genocide doesn't actually exactly fit with what Israel is doing. Mass murder of civilians, starvation, attacks on journalists and aid workers, denial of medical care, theft of people's homes and theft of their property... they're doing virtually every type of war crime, now including the use of chemical weapons apparently, but (edit: ~~they're not literally trying to exterminate the Palestinians as a genotype~~ I misunderstood genocide) they could claim without obviously being full of shit that they're not trying to destroy the nation of Palestine completely. I think they are trying to, but it's not as clear-as-day as lot of their crimes which are on video and in the present/past, instead of the future.
Almost any type of war crime case could have been mounted against them, and it would have been a more solid case at the ICJ. There wouldn't have been room for all this semantic wiggling in the press over whether it's actually genocide, or merely mass murder and war criminality.
It almost makes me think that there was some sort of deliberate effort to bring over-the-top charges that would leave that wiggle room, instead of more conservative charges. Prosecutors will sometimes do this when they want to kill a case without showing any appearance of other than a vigorous prosecution. You bring murder 1 when you can't prove it, and give the defense something to work with, instead of charging second-degree murder and having a slam dunk.
I have no reason to think they might have done that, but I do wonder about it.
You're someone who believes in the Uyghur genocide conspiracy, and you're seriously going to come in and try to argue that Isreal isn't committing genocide? You could have saved yourself a lot of typing and just said that Isreal can't be committing genocide because they're the good guys, and only bad guys can be guilty of genocide.
Yeah the fact that you're calling a genocide a fucking conspiracy tell me everything there is to know on wether your opinion on genocide is valid or trustworthy

The Grayzone has been covering the story for about five years: https://thegrayzone.com/page/2/?s=xinjiang

the Grayzone consider Gonzalo Lira a "commentator" They also try to explain to me that NATO was in fact allied with Serbia. The only thing differentiating them from pure propaganda is that propaganda is suppsoed to be coherent with itself
Your source are a fucking blog by a random, and a propagandist clone of wikipedia. "Hey nazis are cool, this film from Ufa proves it"
Oh and for the first line, it is perfectly common for expert to not speak the language of a country they study as the concept of translation exist, let alone diplomatic institutions of countries you are studying do those translation themselves lol.
Big believer in White Genocide then, I take it? And the Ukrainian Genocide in Donbas? The South African Genocide of White farmers?
So, one is a conspiracy theory, one has never been claimed so far, and one carries no substantial proofs due to the facts that it is simply a criminal trend in South Africa blown out of proportion by white supremacist.
wrong again about me pal
