Same thought in reverse. If oppressive regimes see that intentionally backing a population into a corner ultimately lets them get away with genocide on the global stage then presumably more of them will attempt it in the future.

  > population increases Is the Gaza War a genocide? Two key features of the mortality data are consistent with that charge: first, unusually high mortality among women and children; second, the sudden and dramatic fall in life expectancy. In these respects, the war resembles the Rwandan and Cambodian genocides more closely than any other recent conflict involving the US or Israel. https://original.antiwar.com/noah_carl/2026/01/07/is-the-gaza-war-a-genocide/ https://original.antiwar.com/noah_carl/2026/01/07/is-the-gaz...

    Child mortality will be an issue if you use child soldiers, which Hamas do.

      > Child mortality will be an issue Looks like there's more to it than "child soldiers": ~8000 below the age of 12; 40% (~3600) of them less than 5y old (pre-schoolers).
