      Yeah but according to the current legal definition, looking at the evidence, I can confidently claim it’s a genocide

        No, not according to the current definition. That is why Ireland is trying to change it. Words change all the time so it is possible.

        That would equate Gaza and Ukraine with the Holocaust, Rwanda, Cambodia, the nature and magnitude of which were very different. Perhaps they could create a new word for those?

          Huh? Gaza and Ukraine are completely different conflicts. Ukraine is a military invasion, Gaza is a genocide.

          No, not according to the current definition

          Can you post the current definition? I’m happy to argue about that, because i do maintain that it’s a genocide in the case of Gaza because there’s a manifest intent to eliminate an entire people, unlike the case of Ukraine.
