    Yooo also from your definition:

    The intent is the most difficult element to determine. To constitute genocide, there must be a proven intent on the part of perpetrators to physically destroy a national, ethnical, racial or religious group. Cultural destruction does not suffice, nor does an intention to simply disperse a group. It is this special intent, or dolus specialis, that makes the crime of genocide so unique.

      They are committed to completely eliminating this evil from the world, (…) You must remember what Amalek has done to you, says our Holy Bible. And we do remember.

      • Netanyahu (translated) 28/10/23

      Now go and smite Amalek, and utterly destroy all that they have, and spare them not; but slay both man and woman, infant and suckling, ox and sheep, camel and ass

      • 1 Samuel 15:3

      One example. Of course his cabinet are less connected with international politics and are more inclined to use direct language.

      Genocide or not, why are you defending the Israeli government slaughtering tens of thousands of Palestinian civilians - including huge numbers of children indiscriminately? We certainly don’t see Hamas being targeted in the casualty stats.

        Yooo I was never interested in defending Israel. Fuck the IDF. I lived there a while back too. All I did was take issue with your dumb take about the regions history. Edgelords everywhere.
