    All of Israel is stolen land. They’re stealing even more as we speak.

    To answer your question: They will and they have outright killed thousands, tens of thousands of Palestinians. They destroyed schools, hospital, cemeteries, media offices, homes. They are not letting in food in the country, causing a goddamn famine. Everybody has seen it. Everybody knows it’s happening.

    You can sod right off if you want a specific number of summary executions before it ‘counts’ as a genocide. Absolutely abhorrent behavior. I’m blocking your ass right now. Bye.

      Here, you probably haven’t gotten to the class in college yet where you learn what words mean, but this is the definition of “genocide”:

      the deliberate killing of a large number of people from a particular nation or ethnic group with the aim of destroying that nation or group.

      Now please answer my question, if it was a genocide, and they were trying to destroy all Palestinians, why would there be 2m Palestinians living in Israel? Wouldn’t they have killed them first? Or expelled them? Could it be that the Palestinians being killed now are collateral damage in a war?
