Remember, none of the above lessens the genocide Israel is committing in Gaza and West Bank.
When will countries actually do something?
Never it appears, sadly.
There is no genocide happening in either Gaza or the West Bank. The people in Gaza have experienced a war because Hamas, the ruling political body, started a war on Oct. 7th by murdering thousands of civilians in cold blood and taking hundreds of innocent civilians as hostages.
The people of Gaza have been through hell because Hamas insist on firing weapons from schools, hospitals and residential areas. They insist on keeping the hostages to further their political goals, because they are terrorists, that is the definition of what terrorists do.
The people of Gaza quite rightly know why they are in a horrible situation…. Because… HAMAS. When the people of Ireland were chanting “from the river to the sea” in Dublin just this week the people of Gaza held u signs saying “Hamas out”. There is an awful disconnect between support for Gaza and what the people of Gaza themselves say.
The displacement of gazans so that the IDF can destroy Hamas military structures is not genocide. It’s only genocide when it’s done with the intention of destroying the people or there culture, the IDF are doing it because they were attacked and their civilians taken hostage.
