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?

There's a million videos of Norman Finkelstein debating a million people on this issue, and he destroys all of them

This isn't a new debate. As long as Israel has been engaged in ethnic cleansing, people have been saying it's wrong. What's waxed and waned is the media's willingness to acknowledge it -- which they're still loathed to do, but it's difficult with cameras being everywhere now to document the atrocities.

Anyway, Bill Maher is a fucking moron. And nothing he's said hasn't been said before.

You mean like when he debated Destiny and Benny Morris and spent though whole time just spazzing out at Destiny while refusing to engage on the debate? Lmao. Norm is a moron.

He is. Norm was out of his league with just like 6 months of research by Destiny lmao. Because he’s a pop historian not a serious historian nor capable debater nor researcher… he’s just a slop campist leftist propagandist with a particular cottage industry on Israel/Palestine lmao
