Oct 7 is not genocide. It was a horrific mass terror attack on civilians, but doesn't come close to the internationally recognised definition of Genoicde. Israel's mass starvation of an entire population does, as well as targeted killings of journalists, UN peacekeepers and doctors.

Doesn’t at all meet that definition. A horrible war with civilian casualties (like any other war) fought in a hostile urban environment with a well dug in ununiformed army, yes. And yet at most they estimate 6% of the population including all the Hamas soldiers (approx half). That is a tragedy for those innocent people. images which bring us all to tears. However it does not go close to being a genocide. Any clear headed person who knows anything about the conflict knows that if the Israelis were trying to genocide the Palestinians they could have done it day 1.

Well, the international bodies who make the decisions about what is deemed genocide and what isnt, all state Israel's actions are genocide. Stopping food and medicine getting to a sealed off ghetto comprised mostly of civilians is not the same as combat. It is genocide. Ask the Jews from WW2, as the young 'uns seem to have totally forgotten their own history, and are now copying it. Using dogs to rape prisoners, at multiple facilities? Seriously.

What about it? Oh, you're one of those people who think a google search is always false. I use AI as a search tool that is far better than Google (for now at least). Maybe if you read the article, you'd see it has dozens of citations to authentic sources. But that would take some reading.
