AIPAC is pro-Isrl Americans donating to the campaigns of their preferred candidates, as is their right. Anti-Isrl Americans have the same right, and they do so as well. Suggesting that there’s something uniquely bad about the pro-Isrl side of this is just bias.

Even using Hms' bogus numbers, counting both combatants and civilians, over 98% of Gazans have survived seven months of so-called "genocide," while completely at the mercy of the IDF. Isn't it time for the people who have been misusing this word to admit that they got this wrong? Their claim simply doesn't fit the facts.

Islam is against the 1st commandment, worship YHWH ... not idols.

[@wkdlama]

@@canitbethat The Convention defines genocide as any of five "acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group." These five acts include killing members of the group, causing them serious bodily or mental harm, imposing living conditions intended to destroy the group, preventing births, and forcibly transferring children out of the group. Victims are targeted because of their real or perceived membership of a group, not randomly. In the age of information you chose to be ingnorant it has nothing to do with 98% surviving.

[@canitbethat]

​@@wkdlama So, your contention is that their intent over the past 7 months hasn't been to fight the army of 30,000 armed anti-Isrl fighters who had just invaded Isrl from Gz right before, k--ng, rp-ng, and kdnp-ng Isrlis, firing artillery rockets into Isrl, etc., but just to mrdr a random 0.24% of the world's Plsntnn Arb ethnic group? Absurd. That's something the Isrlis could have done on any single day in the past 57 years if they had wanted to, without invading at all. It really is time just to admit that the "g-cide" theory objectively doesn't fit the facts nearly as well as the "ovrthrw Hms" theory. Only someone with an extreme bias wouldn't see that. The reason the percentage matters is that the intent is core to this definition, and if the intent of the Isrlis were simply to dstry a chunk of this ethnic group, they could have k-ld a lot more in seven months, but they haven’t. This is obvious evidence that this has not been their intent - obvious, that is, to anyone without an extreme bias against them.
