The law ( the Leahy Law) requires that the US vet any foreign military receiving US arms. However, that doesn’t happen with Israel

    what an unfortunate truth

    for america to do anything less would be intifada holocaust 2 electric boogaloo anti semitic. and if you blame one individual who practices judaism You are attacking every single jew down to the last just recently conceived children getting pumped hard into an achey clown car vagina. how many kids do hesidic jews have? a literal circus.

    but Palestine?! they are so so so bad we gotta zion up or ship out only real patriots allowed in Israeli tank vs palestinian rock fight.

    fucking oppressed palestinian people, how dare they resist genocide, right? AND TO TOP IT OFF THEY EXPRESS THE DIRENESS OF THEIR SITUATION BY ATTACKING THEIR PRISON GATE KEEPERS Against Jews!?! NOT ONE JEW, THORIN NOT ONE JEW COIN LOST. A SINGLE JEW TOKEN IS WORTH MORE THAN THE ENTIRE POPULACE OF PALESTINE.

    …i need to turn off the news

      There is no genocide of Palestinians. Less than 1% of Palestinians have been killed in this conflict

        In the present Convention, genocide means any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such:

        a. Killing members of the group; Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group;

        b. Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part;

        c. Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group;

        d. Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group.

        I’m not totally convinced that this is Israel’s intent—most of what I’ve seen points to a brazen and sociopathic indifference typical of 7th graders and goofy “strongman” populists like Netanyahu alike—but the percentage of the population killed does not factor in determining whether it is genocide.

          They’ve killed 0.6% of the population, counting enemy militants.

          Gaza is 5x the density of Mosul, in which the US (who quite obviously was not committing genocide) killed ~10,000 civilians.

          Things can be shitty and not be genocide.

            Again, I really don’t to weigh in on whether or not it is genocide, if only because I’m not gonna change anybody’s opinion here. Alls I’m saying is that the qualifications for genocide do not include the destruction of the entire, or even the majority of, the population.

              Any sane look at the situation makes it obvious it is not genocide

                And I’m still not trying to argue with you on that. I’m just saying that the numbers you’re citing do not support your case. There are most definitely situations where killing 0.6% of a population would be considered genocide.

                Raz Segal is an associate professor of Holocaust and genocide studies at Stockton University and the endowed professor in the study of modern genocide.

                TIL A Jewish professor of Holocaust and genocide studies is insane.
