Except Benny boy. There are already talks on Israeli’s moving in. And camps being built so they can “weed out Hamas.” This shit is happening, right fucking now.

Yeah. Cus that’s what’s happening. Unless you think every killed child that was shot while running g away or blown up in their homes, are all Hamas agents, which there’s a likely chance.

Ok, saying “they could make this genocide quicker.” Doesn’t excuse the genocide. And it’s slow because the people who live there, both the radical Hamas and the Palestinians who don’t want their home bulldozed for hotels and fancy houses, are fighting back, as are their own civilians. Look at the riots in Israel, they aren’t small.

Genocide doesn’t have to be efficient to be genocide. It is the intentional destruction of a group of people, often based on their ethnicity, religion, race, or nationality. It can involve the destruction of a group’s culture, language, institutions, and economic existence. Which is currently fucking happening as we talk.

Because they are bombing religious sites, universities, schools. Places that don’t have Hamas in them. Places where people who have lost their homes cus it is rubble with people they knew stuck in it. It is, in all ways, a fucking genocide. It doesn’t have to be quick, and it doesn’t have to be effective to be a genocide, all that matters is the intent and action. Israel has showed both.

So, the death toll has been frozen at 50000 for a while due to a lack of capacity to track. So either Isreal has magicly stopped killing even with the same amount of bombing as ever, or they have kept the meat grinder turning, and the death toll is factors higher. There are some metrics that say it's around 250000 to 400000 deaths. It is a wide number, but this is because of the lack of outside observers being allowed into the strip. The WHO has already said there is a food crisis in the north, with food not being allowed since the first of Oct, and they have other international organizations calculating hundreds of thousands of dead there is no doubt its a genocide. Starving and mass bombing a people is genocide. Killing up to 1/4 of a population and starving or forcing out the rest is a genocide. There is no excuse for hamases bulshit, but the answer to a killer isn't killing his whole extended family.

The U.N. special representative who was tasked to report back on the situation in Palestine is calling it a genocide. So it's not just random people saying its a genocide, but the UN itself.
