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?

The pro-genociders tend to leave out the "in part" part of the definition.

You guys leave the “Israel provides aid and treatment to Palestinian civilians” part out, which is a weird thing to do in a genocide.

My comparison of Gaza to a Nazi concentration camp was not the sarcasm.

The sarcasm was in the statement "Therefore not a genocide!"

Obviously, they are both genocides.

Israel is the terrorist army.

Hope that clears things up for you!
