The current definition of Genocide is set out in Article II of the Genocide 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, as such:
(a) Killing members of the group;
(b) Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group;
© Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated
to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part;
(d) Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group;
(e) Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group.

To constitute genocide, it also needs to be established that the victims are deliberately targeted — not randomly — because of their real or perceived membership of one of the four groups protected under the Convention. This means that the target of destruction must be the group, as such, or even a part of it, but not its members as individuals.

Whether or not Israel has a right to exist, it is a childish fantasy to imagine it will vanish.

Black South African leadership did not express a desire to kill all whites. Hamas have expressed a desire to kill all Jews in the Levant so the analogy does not hold.

Most surviving German Jews went to the Levant (bear in mind that ⅔ were killed by Nazis).

White South Africans didn’t experience genocide.

No, not according to the current definition. That is why Ireland is trying to change it. Words change all the time so it is possible.

That would equate Gaza and Ukraine with the Holocaust, Rwanda, Cambodia, the nature and magnitude of which were very different. Perhaps they could create a new word for those?

Yes a higher civilian death ratio in Gaza but the Ukraine military are not in civilian areas.

Admittedly Russia actually targets civilians but it is with long range missiles and drones, most of which get intercepted.

That article says Ireland is also trying to expand the definition of genocide to include Ukrainian deaths. I don’t know why it does not fit the definition currently; perhaps because Russia are not trying to wipe out the Ukrainian population? I dunno. Get back to us if you find out.

Am just pointing out the legal definition of the word regardless of whether courts are just

Where should the Israel Jews go now though?

Iranian citizens are not being targeted whereas Iran (and previously Hezbollah) bombed at least one Israeli town where there are no military.

Not “literally”. Ireland is trying to expand the definition in the ICJ to make it so though.

Ireland will not be asserting if genocide is being committed, but asserting its interpretation of the Genocide Convention.

Palestine population has been increasing over the last decades. ⅔ of European Jews died in the Holocaust. Comparing very different tragedies here.

Podcast on 99% Invisible with the guy, also talking about other one handed keyboards on the market (and why they suck).

40 minute uncut video of Tesla robocar in LA. Impressive. It may be a cheat using remote drivers I suppose.

Here is a short video showing Tesla robocar ignoring a school bus’ stop signs and flashing lights.

Wow, that makes this thread all the more awesome. Thanks!

The phrase “Gandhi’s words are backed with nuclear” refers to a popular internet meme and in-joke related to the video game “Civilization.” In the game, Mahatma Gandhi, known for his non-violent philosophy in real life, has a tendency to become surprisingly aggressive and develop nuclear weapons in later stages of the game. This has led to the humorous association of his name with nuclear power, despite his actual historical stance.

I want philosophy direct from the Monarch! /s
