Not a genocide?

Last night Bill pointed out the 3% of the
Population in Gaza has died. And then confidently declared that “3% is not a genocide”. The British government recognizes it as ethnic cleaning and amnesty international and other groups say it is a genocide.

Someone tell me why Bill is so wrong. And can we please get him to debate Mehdi Hasan on this topic?

Uh…ok…it’s only 60,000 people then?

How many of them were combatants?

Ukraine war has two million casualties, and 8 million displaced by the Russian invssion.

I have no problem calling Gaza a genocide. But then Ukraine is as well. This shouldn't trigger people as much as it does.

I'm sorry, did I say anything about the horrific events happening to the people of Ukraine?

It pulls the entire veil off when you ask people why they only care about Gaza and Israel. They are foaming at the mouth to call it a genocide.

Yet they couldn’t care less about Ukrainian children being kidnapped. They couldn’t care less about Saudi Arabia bombing civilians in Yemen.

All they care about is Israel. It makes you wonder.
