    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 […]

    any of these as long as there’s intent to destroy. Without intent to destroy, it’s not a genocide. Quite simple, really, if you read the charter.

    None of the links prove or even hint at intent to destroy the Palestinian population. They hint at fears that Israel might occupy Gaza partiallly or fully and even displace Palestinian civilians permanently. While absolutely terrible, that isn’t genocide according to the Geneva Conventions you quoted above.

    Again, where’s your proof for intent to destroy the Palestinian people?

      It seems you haven’t read any of the linked articles, so there is no need to talk about this any further until you do.

        I did read the articles, but they just don’t mention a plan to destroy the Palestiniam people:

        • CBC: Talks about displacement, no mention of destruction.
        • NPR: Talks about the prospects of an Israeli occupation, no mention of displacement or destruction.
        • USA Today: Same as NPR.
        • People’s World: Same as CBC.
        • UN: Talks about occupation of the West Bank, no mention of destruction.
        • Foreign Policy: Same as UN.
        • ABC News: Same as UN.
