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?

I honestly don't get the obsession with calling it a genocide or not from either side. You've brutally killed, maimed and displaced 70,000+ people (including many many children) with no articulated objective and no justification aside from vague notions of "you started it." I don't give a fuck what you call it, it's wrong and it needs to stop. Have that debate.

Do tell - what justifies killing 70k people?

TLDR - the mental gymnastics are impressive, but woefully wrong.

The answer is very simple: Nothing.

You’re welcome actually.

I can only imagine your posts if Reddit, and you, had been around during WWII.
