President Joe Biden said Tuesday Israel’s prime minister needs to change his hardline government and support for the country’s military campaign is waning amid heavy bombardment of Gaza. … “This is the most conservative government in Israel’s history,” Biden said, adding that the Israeli government “doesn’t want a two-state solution.”
It’s mind-blowing how thoroughly Netanyahu has bungled this. They had damn near the entire world in full support after Hamas’ horrific attack on Israeli civilians, and they’ve managed to lose it.
But it is possible to not drop bombs on areas you KNOW civilians are at.
This is also not a part of the definition of genocide.
Civilians are pretty much everywhere alongside Hamas members who are usually between them.
Yes, it is not a part of the definition but the common traits of all genocides definitely directly follow from the definition. Hence why all registered genocides are in fact similar to each other. Israeli actions wouldn’t be similar to any of them.
Yeah, so maybe they should stop dropping bombs.
Not only is this not true, but even if it were, as I’ve already pointed out it doesn’t need to be similar. A genocide can be totally unique yet still fall under the definition of genocide.
Stop dropping bombs will mean hamas can survive.
Regarding genocides: If a genocide can be totally unique, does it mean that when I go visit my neighbour and drink coffee with him, I am doing genocide? Sure, it would be a completely unique genocide with no deaths but you said every genocide can be unique. You know, when you have a definition of an action/an item, all those items/actions are somewhat similar. And then when you have an action/an item which is totally different from other actions/items in the category, it probably does not belong there.
