What is happening in Gaza does not meet the definition of genocide. According to the definition for genocide as provided sections (a)-(2) of Article 2 of the Geneva Convention ("acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnic, racial or religious group") it does. The substantiation for this rests not so much on the numbers killed (though these are also one component), but on the clear and obvious intent to render the Strip uninhabitable -- and to encourage what Israeli politicians are openly and cynically referring to as "voluntary migration". To intentionally kick an entire population off of their indigenous territory is a means of destroying them as a people, full stop. Intention is key. As has been made chillingly clear by major figures in the 37th Government: “We are imposing a complete siege on Gaza. There will be no electricity, no food, no water, no fuel. Everything will be closed. We are fighting human animals and we act accordingly” -- Defense Minister Yoav Gallant We also have Minister Avi Dichter chiming in: Israeli security cabinet member and Agriculture Minister Avi Dichter (Likud) was asked in a news interview on Saturday whether the images of northern Gaza Strip residents evacuating south on the IDF’s orders are comparable to images of the Nakba. He replied: “We are now rolling out the Gaza Nakba. From an operational point of view, there is no way to wage a war – as the IDF seeks to do in Gaza – with masses between the tanks and the soldiers.” When asked again whether this was the “Gaza Nakba”, Dichter – a member of the security cabinet and former Shin Bet director – said “Gaza Nakba 2023. That’s how it’ll end.” This quote file goes on and on and on. It's really screamingly bloody obvious what's happening in Gaza and the West Bank presently.
