Reply to comment by [deleted] in Amnesty urges ICC probe of possible Gaza war crimes by Xul-luX

I get that Palestinian children are dying, I'm just not seeing how you made the jump from collateral damage to genocide

I agree that they're targeted, but I think you and I are not seeing eye-to-eye on the targets (since I count extremist Palestinian militants as a legitimate target).

Tell you what, let's prove genocide using something less open to interpretation: whats the Palestinian population compared to 10 years ago?

Edit: I think it's safe to say that based off your silence, you've seen how problematic the claim of Genocide is

Almost as bad as people who say the Native American genocide actually happened, we westerners civilised them and their numbers keep going up

Because the Native American population has been steadily growing since the settlers arrived there’s no way that any genocide can have happened, and anytime that treaties were violated and the settlers moved into native land it was perfectly legitimate

Same thing goes for the Irish too btw

I think the key distinction between your examples and mine is you're looking at population growth AFTER an established genocide. The above claim is stating that genocide is currently happening and has been happening for 60 years. There's the equivalency issue.

The evidence just does not support that claim at all
