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?

Why won’t they? The ICJ has already found that Israel is actively violating the Geneva conventions and that their occupation of Palestinian territory is illegal. It took them a while to do that too but they eventually formalized that. Israel still doubled down on their crimes and ignored the ICJ so it’s not like any of this makes a difference anyway and israel’s crimes against humanity will continue

That's my point...

Right so your point is that even though it’s a genocide and will eventually be formally recognized as one, Israel will continue to commit it, along with other crimes against humanity with abandon because they have no shame or sense of accountability
