It shouldn't be.
But here we have UN and other twisting it to fit a situation that clearly weren't meant to be covered by it.
Because if the war in Gaza can be called a genocide so can almost every single other major war!
Also it is absolutely ridiculous to call a war that is started by one side, and one that only that side can end, a genocide against the same side that started it!
This is indeed a big obstacle to credibly calling the Israel-Palestine conflict a genocide. Germany lost ~10% of it's population in WW2. France lost 4% in WW1. Less than 1% of the Palestinian has been killed since Oct 7.
Heck, the US Revolutionary war saw the British perpetrated genocide against the Colonists if the military actions following Oct 7 count as a genocide.
> Germany lost ~10% of it's population in WW2.
75% of those were military deaths, 25% civilian deaths. In Gaza the numbers are switched.
Even if the numbers are true, that leaves Germany with 2x the proportion of civilian deaths.
In your opinion, is there a neutral organization in the world that could define whether the legal definition of genocide is being met or not?

Again, it's time to open your eyes, you are on the wrong side of history.
The world isn't against you, it's against what Israel is doing to Palestine. You don't have to dig your heels in.

What are you talking about? The ICC issued an arrest warrant for war crimes for the Hamas leadership
