    Will they criminalise denial of the Gaza genocide, you know, the one that is currently underway?

      Not yet. The ICJ is still examining the mountain of evidence. It will probably take a few more years.

      I dont think we coined the term Holocaust until after the Germans lost the war. I imagine it’ll be the same with Gaza. History needs to happen and be written first.

        None of this is accurate even if history started on Oct 7.

        You are blatantly lying.

        Jewish human rights groups and human rights groups all over the world as well as genocide scholars all over the world are calling what is happening a genocide. I’ll put more weight on their conclusions than someone who has nine bullet points of Zionist hasbara.

          I’d say there is overwhelming evidence that this is likely genocide, but we can’t say it is one until the ICJ finishes reviewing the mountain of evidence against Israel

              You need to read the definition of genocide. I highly recommend following that with the south African report to the ICJ

                Gazan civilians are not being “targeted”. It is Hamas and Hezbollah who are intent on genocide. I mean they actual say it - why not believe them?

                If Israel is intent on genocide they aren’t very good at it. They could have wiped out ⅔ of Gazans in the first week after October 7 but chose not to. Meanwhile Hamas and Hezbollah to this day call for ridding the Levant of all Jews but Cannot.

                Trump’s talk of “evicting” Gazans to Libya is disturbing. That would be ethnic cleansing.

                  Gazans civilians are absolutely being targeted

                  See lavender. And the SA report
