I will simply point out that there is no genocide, in fact or in law, and that to smear the Israelis for that is particularly nasty. And on the other hand, support for an immediate ceasefire ( the central demand of these denos) is indubitably a pro Hamas position, so my point was not a slur but a statement of fact.
But your point on HN etiquette is taken, and noted.
- Qem 2y ago> will simply point out that there is no genocide, in fact or in law The ICJ deemed the genocide accusation plausible. It's a well documented case. The report by Francesca Albanese does a great job of explaining it: https://www.ohchr.org/sites/default/files/documents/hrbodies/hrcouncil/sessions-regular/session55/advance-versions/a-hrc-55-73-auv.pdf https://www.ohchr.org/sites/default/files/documents/hrbodies...

- montgomery_r 2y agoExactly so. A legal case is ongoing, not yet judged, so there is no genocide in law. And on your second point, it has already been widely debunked as Hamas propaganda; in any case, the evidence adduced would not constitute evidence of genocide. The rush to claim genocide is more indicative of the state of mind of the accusers than anything else.
