…replying to this post in the other thread:

No: the “genocide narrative” isn’t a “Russian disinfo campaign.” There is absolutely ZERO evidence of this. Not one iota. You won’t be able to produce a single thing. Because its a _lie_.

The evidence, painstakingly recorded and reviewed by multiple legal entities, humanitarian agencies, genocide experts, and NGO’s, that I’ve (unlike you) have documented in this thread all lead to the same conclusion: that the actions Israel have taken contravene the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of  
Genocide. Its a genocide because all of the evidence points to this.
