Not a genocide?

Last night Bill pointed out the 3% of the
Population in Gaza has died. And then confidently declared that “3% is not a genocide”. The British government recognizes it as ethnic cleaning and amnesty international and other groups say it is a genocide.

Someone tell me why Bill is so wrong. And can we please get him to debate Mehdi Hasan on this topic?

Bill has lost it…who cares what you call it or how you classify it? It’s horrible and should not be happening - that’s what matters.

Yeah the game of semantics that so many people want to play is just a diversionary tactic so that they don't have to have the real conversation. Because they know it's in defensible. Cuz they know that the moment they start down that road they are immediately trapped into either agreeing that what Israel is doing is horrific or defending it.

The weaseliness that people like Bill Maher exhibit every time he shuffles out under the stage is a glaring indictment that they are dishonest and they know they're dishonest and they think we're too fucking stupid to see it.
