3. The quibbling about definitions is a nice deflection.

Let's ignore the clear evidence and the starving, disease-ridden children because there is some DEFINITION issue.

Today Human Rights Watch came out with a report that also found Israel guilty of genocide. They concluded that Israel intentionally inflicted on the Palestinian population in Gaza conditions of life calculated to bring about their physical destruction in whole or in part, an act of genocide. Their report focused on the intentional restrictions of WATER.

I mean bombing water reservoirs and water pipes, sewage and desalination plants, cutting off water flows - how is that self-defence??

It is not. It is intentionally creating conditions to cause mass human suffering, and physical destruction of a people. GEN-O-CIDE.

Denial of this awful truth is just sickening.
