oakey66,

You know Joe has a point when the only thing he and his administration is able to come up with in response to the allegations is “it’s not genocide”.

According to the United Nations, genocide is an internationally recognized crime that involves an act with the intent to destroy a national, racial, ethnic, or religious group, in whole or in part. These acts include:

  • Killing members of the group
  • Causing serious mental or physical harm to members of the group
  • Deliberately inflicting conditions of life on the group that would cause physical destruction
  • Imposing measures to prevent births within the group
  • Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group

This doesn’t even include the genocidal rhetoric coming from Knesset members.

It’s pretty clear the administration is on its back foot because no one believes Israel or the U.S. Hell, the majority of his base doesn’t agree with him.

This is pretty telling:

Polling on Israel Gaza
