“Israel has committed genocide in Gaza” says the UN Commission of Inquiry

A new report says there are reasonable grounds to conclude that four of the five genocidal acts defined under international law have been carried out since the start of the war with Hamas in 2023: killing members of a group, causing them serious bodily and mental harm, deliberately inflicting conditions calculated to destroy the group, and preventing births.

Inquiring minds would like to know why are we allowed to openly hate isreal but tip toe around any other middle eastern nation

@Nume25 No, if anything it’s the opposite. Any criticism of Israel, no matter how slight or unrelated to religion, is immediately condemned as anti-Semitic.

And of course those same people conflate hating the current ultranationalist racist apartheid government that is committing genocide in Gaza, with Israel and its right to existence.

That will be all.

@wishforthenight now flip the coin and it's Islamophobia so what's your point

wishforthenight

@Nume25 my point is you’re deflecting from the fact that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza.

Nume25 · 31-35, F

@wishforthenight no I'm explaining what everyone else does in war it's genocide when it's Israel

wishforthenight

@Nume25 except in this case, it’s genocide. Unless you’d care to explain why it isn’t, without resorting to whataboutism.

@wishforthenight have you noticed you're criticizing a lack of evidence when you yourself have provided no evidence. I can tell you why i dismiss it it's because it's a talking point for people like you. Rage bait to incite division you pretend to care about a cause when it's important to you but as soon as you've exploited the issue you leave it worse than you found it

wishforthenight

@Nume25 Criticising a lack of evidence? A lack of evidence for what?
Also, you ducked my asking you to explain why Israel is not committing genocide.

@wishforthenight thisnis the mind function I expect from a copy paste online liberal

NerdyPotato ·

@Nume25 what everyone else does? I can name plenty of wars where the occupier doesn't actively target babies or cut off medical aid, food and water.

NerdyPotato ·

@Nume25 you find it funny that innocent people are mass murdered, huh?

Nume25 · 31-35, F

@NerdyPotato i find the incorrect biased picture you're painting funny

NerdyPotato ·

@Nume25 just because you look the other way doesn't mean it isn't happening.

Nume25 · 31-35, F

@NerdyPotato I'm glad you're starting to realize that.

wishforthenight

@Nume25 No copy and pasting here.

However, yours is exactly the response I would expect from a right-winger when faced with an inconvenient truth.

Nume25 · 31-35, F

@wishforthenight what truth have you faced me you've made a claim i made a counter claim than you and me have been the subject of discussion.

@wishforthenight now look whose deflecting

wishforthenight

@Nume25 no deflection. You asked me what truth have I faced (which was a deflection). I replied that the truth I have faced is that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza.

Please tell me what you think I’m deflecting from.

NerdyPotato ·

@Nume25 I'm not just starting to realize that. I've known that for a long time. Hopefully you'll too start to realize that denial isn't a good coping mechanism.

@FoxyQueen What are you talking about?

FoxyQueen · 51-55, F

@wishforthenight How Nume25 is sea lioning the heck out of this conversation.

wishforthenight

@FoxyQueen Well, @Nume25 has gone silent now 😂

FoxyQueen · 51-55, F

@wishforthenight Well thank god. I didn't tag them in hopes they wouldn't come back.

It must be really annoying to be around them. Imagine being their friend and having to show sources for everything they don't agree with. I'm gonna go out on a limb and say they don't have many friends who can tolerate that insipid behavior.

wishforthenight

@FoxyQueen Well, @Nume25 is just a typical right-wing troll who wants to see or hear no evil against Israel, and will do anything to obfuscate and deflect rather than just accept the findings.
