Would a strategy of making life in Palestine so difficult that everyone either capitulates or becomes radicalized [and therefore a legitimate military target] be genocide?

What would that strategy look like?

[–] DarthJon -2 points 2 months ago (3 children)

No. First of all, the Palestinian population has grown substantially since 1967. That alone is sufficient to disprove the genocide accusation. Second, blaming Israel for the plight of the Palestinian people ignores the fact that they have been governed by corrupt terrorist leaders who have done nothing to improve the lives of the people they govern because they have been single-mindedly focused on destroying Israel. Plus, it's pretty damn disrespectful to treat the Palestinian people as if they have no agency whatsoever and are just destined to be radicalized because of external forces.

I asked:

You answered "no". Can you elaborate on how you reconcile your answer with our understanding of genocide:

Genocide is the attempt to destroy a nation/ ethnicity.

I know where you're headed with this so I'm just cutting it off now before we argue about your claims about what Israel is doing.
