Mmhm. And not only can I read — it would be quite amazing if I could write the posts you're angrily responding to without being able to read — I'm also pointing out that there is nothing that qualifies as a 77-year genocide in which the population grows year over year the entire time. No serious scholarship exists that even claims a 77 year genocide starting in 1948. Every time someone dies in a conflict, does not equate to an attempt to destroy a people "in whole or in part" — quite obviously, or else even a single murder would count as a genocide, along with every war in history. Certainly Palestinians have killed Israelis with the intent to destroy them — even prior to 1948. Have the Palestinians been committing genocide for 100 years? No, obviously not. Your claims do not hold water and do not support a supposed 77-year genocide. Please try again.

>BTW the five acts are: killing — typically systematic, targeting civilians rather than militants; bodily/mental harm (e.g widespread slavery, systematic rape); deliberately inflicting conditions meant to destroy the group (e.g. mass starvation);

Check, check and check. And Zionism has always been seeking to expel Palestinians, despite your dubious claims to the contrary. Success is not a requisite as written in the genocide convention. Your population stats are irrelevant.

Try this: go on Israeli politicians twitters. Read the Hebrew language ones and translate them to English. Report back.

I don't need to translate them to English, I speak Hebrew. There are far right ministers who say insane things, there are far left ministers who say the exact opposite, and both call themselves Zionists. You don't speak Hebrew so you need someone to point you to tweets to translate, and you've been pointed only at the far right ones and that's why you think those are the only ones that exist.

If it was actually "check, check, and check" for 77 years, the population would go down, obviously, unless you believe Palestinians are each the second coming of Jesus Christ and can return from the dead at will. No serious academic scholarship agrees with you, and common sense is that you're wrong too. A genocide involves actually attempting to destroy a lot of people systematically, not periodic violence over land squabbles in which neither side is significantly reduced.

There is certainly debate over whether the current war — starting on Oct. 7th — has devolved into genocide, although there isn't scholarly agreement on that (nor legal agreement, as the international courts haven't issued rulings yet; they've only declined to dismiss the case). But a 77-year genocide is a fantasy, in order to avoid thinking deeply about your preferred side's complicity in this endless conflict — and indeed in the current war, which they started, and in which they committed numerous war crimes (and continue to commit war crimes).
