| Hello Steven, You are now being disingenuous. I have lost count of the amount of times you have asked the question as to the meaning of genocide, hence my exasperation! By the way, which David Ainsworth were you referring to? I ask before but you forgot to answer. I sent you this before but will repeat it to see if you understand it better this time. According to the Oxford Dictionary: Genocide: the deliberate killing of a large number of people from a particular NATION OR ETHNIC GROUP with the aim of destroying that nation or group. And I add, also from the Oxford Dictionary: Ethnic cleansing: the mass expulsion or killing of members of one ETHNIC OR RELIGIOUS GROUP in an area by those of another. Do you like the Israelis? I do. Do you like Jews? I do. Do you like the Palestinians? I do. What I dislike enormously are Hamas, Benjamin Netanyahu and his governemnt as well as Daniela Weiss. Please bear in mind that Hamas may be Palestinians but not all Palestinians support Hamas. Please, if it is not too much of an effort, do read the article by Elie Barnabi, an Israeli historian and diplomat who is a former ambassador of Israel to France. The article was published in the Belgium magazine "Regards". It is in French but there is an option to read it in English. https://cclj.be/la-strategie-du-fou/ You also seem to have selective memory. You say: "there is no evidence that Israel plans to expel the Palestinians from the lands they now inhabit. Really? Does this ring any bells? Trump and Netanyahu want to "relocate" Palestinians elsewhere so they can create the Riviera of the Middle East. Or Daniela Weiss trying to encourage Israelis to settle in the north of Gaza as it has such a beautiful coast..... Hamas is beyond despicable but the excuse of Hamas shielding behind civilians is now wearing very thin indeed. Do you think young children are part of Hamas? Also, it was kind of Israel to move Palestinians from pillar to post. So why has IDF carried out airstrikes in Palestinian refugee camps in Gaza? Why have the Israelis not rescued or even attempted to rescue the remaining hostages? The Israelis do have the capacity to do so. You support the Israeli government? By all means do so. But you should not be blind to realities. |
