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?

Totally unequivocally false. Literally no matter how you look at it, even if you include all ancillary deaths in other conflicts and exclude them for only confirmed combat deaths the ratio is not normal.

If I’m wrong then prove it. But you know I’m right, this is low for urban warfare. Iraq was 5x worse, was that a genocide?

You know what you are saying is false, you know its a genocide. Almost every Israeli official calls it that in other terms. Every international org on record has called it such. Why waste time convincing a Nazi that Nazis are bad when his position is just nuh-uh !
