> Whether my opinion is a minority position or not is not of relevance. It is. That is the crux of the matter. Genocide deniers aren’t just a minority, but a shrinking minority, and more importantly, a shrinking minority at odds with the consensus among experts and international organizations who’s purpose it is to form opinion on these matters. Here is a document that matters. A UN commissioned special committee, tasked with investigating human rights violation against Palestinians[1]. It concludes (para. 69): > The developments in this report lead the Special Committee to conclude that the policies and practices of Israel during the reporting period are consistent with the characteristics of genocide and adds (para. 70): > The multiple violations of international law by Israel in its war on Gaza; its apartheid system of injustice in the occupied West Bank, within the broader context of its decades-long occupation-cum-annexation of Palestinian and Syrian Golan territories; and its ongoing defiance of binding Security Council resolutions and orders of the International Court of Justice, gravely weaken the international rules-based system. This report was published last September by a special committee with a mandate to do so after a General Assembly resolution way back in 1968. It was not written by victims of genocide, but by mandated observers who have been illegally denied entry to follow their mandate. Why did Israel deny them entry, and break International law doing so? A good plausible theory here is that Israeli rulers are intent on committing a genocide against Palestinians in Gaza, and are attempting to hide their violations in the hopes they will escape justice. 1: https://www.ohchr.org/en/documents/thematic-reports/a79363-report-special-committee-investigate-israeli-practices-affecting https://www.ohchr.org/en/documents/thematic-reports/a79363-r...

Your other comments just confirms to me that you seem to have more problems with Israel than with the plight of Palestinians. This is a line of thinking that only increases the conflict. Your outlook isn't realistic. That the UN has many resolutions against Israel is a danger to the credibility of the UN, not to Israel in the context how international law is enforced. The UN resolutions against Israel are political opportunism that undermines institutions like the UN and in some cases is the usual international political calculus. It is often against the US hegemony instead of against Israel. We disagree about what the future will likely look like. I think your position is part to the problem Palestinians do face and they may have to stay in a limbo for a longer time. Something could be done against the radicalization of young people in Gaza. Something more than confirming their beliefs with conspiracies about Israel. In most cases where people have problems with Jews there is an underlying problem with some form of inferiority complex. Be that as it may, it is of no relevance to me. Here is what I believe to happen if nobody has some productive new perspectives. Gaza will be occupied again until maybe Israel decides to withdraw at some point. Israeli will live their "normal" lives, while Palestinians have to content themselves with Islamic Fundamentalism. But there is little political capital for another withdrawal in the foreseeable future. Other surrounding countries will normalize relation or already have done so because as the Saudi Prince just demonstrated, some words are enough for some groups placate their aggression against Israel. Some rhetoric of international help organizations directed against Israel in a sharp manner, because they too see little hope in any improvements in the middle east because the current situation is even more dire for them than before. But ultimately Israel can only do so much to help here, because the real genocidal intend lies with the radical political representation of Palestinians. I don't see where you believe the improvements for their situation would manifest and I believe even Iran will be more careful to undermine Israel. Their political battles will be elsewhere and Palestinians were also just a tool for them. Just don't be disappointed later.
