The genocidal intent and tactics are clear
Waiting until a genocide is complete before calling it such goes against the entire reason the definition exists in the first place
Comment on Way too easy

You watering down Israel’s crimes almost plays more as apologia, tbh.

Is that a joke?
How does a Zeteo article showing exactly which genocidal tactics Israel has been using is Gaza for years are now also being used in Lebanon considered “downplaying Israel’s crimes” in anyway. If anything, you are the one downplaying Israel’s crimes in Lebanon.

The people of Gaza are the victims of Israel, like with Lebanon, but the people of Gaza are also the victims of the IRGC and Hezbollah and it’s completely shameless to pretend Israel’s atrocity in Gaza is just a normal offensive. The Palestinians have nowhere to go and no allies, not even the smallest chance of defending themselves, so it’s very clearly not the same.

Forced migration is literally always step 1 of genocide. What?
