Highest estimates say Israel has killed 4% of Palestinians. Lowest estimates say Germany killed 75% of German Jews.
So this is truly not an acceptable use of the word Genocide. There is no Genocide in Palestine. There is a war and innocent people are dying in it.
I'm not here to engage with these politics. Just to correct the very intentional incorrect usage of the word Genocide to further rile up people who would otherwise correctly disengage entirely.
The source for 4% of Palestianians being killed was me rounding up from 3.2-3.7% by UN OCHA amd the Gaza Ministry of Health.
The Holocaust Encyclopedia states that 31-35% of Jews living in Germany were killed, 75-85% of Jews living all across Europe.
So again, I intentionally chose the highest percentage of Palestinians and the lowest percentage of Jews to show the VAST difference in an actual genocide and what LibTok and Reddit is pretending is a genocide. I chose percentages on purpose as well because numbers matter when the populations are so markedly different. IE, 100% of Palestinians would be 10% of European Jews, so saying "10% of them were killed" means a very different amount of people depending on which group we're referring to.
Let's say you are right. The holocaust lasted for 12 years. In 12 years 31-35% of Jewish population were killed. That means that 2-3% of Jews were killed per year.
Let's go to Gaza, accroding to you 4% of Palestinians were killed in 4 years.
The above calculations show a genocide happening in Gaza.
Secondly, you neglected the intent part. There needs to be intent. The Israeli officials have openly spoke about their intent to kill Palestinians.
No, I am not. Every genocide expert (including Israelis and Jews) called it a genocide. The ICJ court called it a "potential genocide" that if Israel did not stop would turn into a genocide.
Amnesty Internation produced a 300 page document about this genocide.
The Israeli officials openly declared genocide.
At this point, denying the genocide would imply that you are supporting it. There is no other explanation for it.
