Better than sacrificing both
If one side has the ability to wage war at no human cost, it will mean massive human cost for civilians, as we constantly see.
What is happening in Gaza does not meet the definition of genocide. Sheer numbers don’t make a genocide. Intention is key.
Claims of genocide undermine actual criticisms of israels handling of this whole situation.
"Citing international law, Ms. Albanese explained that genocide is defined as a specific set of acts committed with the intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnic, racial or religious group.
“Specifically, Israel has committed three acts of genocide with the requisite intent: causing seriously serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group, deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part, and imposing measures intended to prevent birth within the group,” she said.
Furthermore, “the genocide in Gaza is the most extreme stage of a long-standing settler colonial process of erasure of the native Palestinians,” she continued. "
Edit0: Feel free to google "Nakba" and search for yourself as well
This has to be argued in an impartial court with facts demonstrating and documenting intent.
Albanese’s mere words won’t count as facts.
If there is intent why does the IDF warn before strikes?
Do you think it's possible to act in a way to veil your intent as much as possible?
Further questions to ask yourself : Did Israel let power back in Gaza? Can the Gazans get the warning? Do they warn everytime? What's the delay?
Where does "soldiers dressing up as aid workers and doctors against international law" fit in your idea of "warning before a strike"?
And most important of all - is there a line they could conceivably cross for you to call it genocide?
According to the definition for genocide as provided sections (a)-(2) of Article 2 of the Geneva Convention ("acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnic, racial or religious group") it does. The substantiation for this rests not so much on the numbers killed (though these are also one component), but on the clear and obvious intent to render the Strip uninhabitable -- and to encourage what Israeli politicians are openly and cynically referring to as "voluntary migration".
To intentionally kick an entire population off of their indigenous territory is a means of destroying them as a people, full stop.
Intention is key.
As has been made chillingly clear by major figures in the 37th Government:
“We are imposing a complete siege on Gaza. There will be no electricity, no food, no water, no fuel. Everything will be closed. We are fighting human animals and we act accordingly”
-- Defense Minister Yoav Gallant
We also have Minister Avi Dichter chiming in:
Israeli security cabinet member and Agriculture Minister Avi Dichter (Likud) was asked in a news interview on Saturday whether the images of northern Gaza Strip residents evacuating south on the IDF’s orders are comparable to images of the Nakba. He replied: “We are now rolling out the Gaza Nakba. From an operational point of view, there is no way to wage a war – as the IDF seeks to do in Gaza – with masses between the tanks and the soldiers.”
When asked again whether this was the “Gaza Nakba”, Dichter – a member of the security cabinet and former Shin Bet director – said “Gaza Nakba 2023. That’s how it’ll end.”
This quote file goes on and on and on. It's really screamingly bloody obvious what's happening in Gaza and the West Bank presently.
