“At present, the lede and the overall presentation state, in Wikipedia’s voice, that Israel is committing genocide, although that claim is highly contested,” Wales said. He added that a “neutral approach would begin with a formulation such as: ‘Multiple governments, NGOs, and legal bodies have described or rejected the characterization of Israel’s actions in Gaza as genocide.’” Currently, the article bases its position that a genocide exists on conclusions from United Nations investigations, the International Association of Genocide Scholars, and “multiple human rights groups,” among others.

    The current invasion of Gaza was preceded by relative peace. You not liking Israel has been made to exist is fine. Does not change the facts, that Jewish people live in in Israel, policy changed substantially at that point, and so did public opinion in Israel.

    A trigger is not a justification. A trigger does not justify genocide. A trigger is just a trigger. You read too much between the lines. Sometimes a sunrise is just a sunrise.

      fucking peace.

      no, you dum-dum:

      just because YOU, personally, haven’t been reading, hearing, or seeing the perpetual violence against Palestinians (and muslims in general) in and around isreal, doesn’t mean it just appeared out of thin air, like you are suggesting.

      well, not suggesting… you’re straight up lying.

      you are using your own ignorance as basis of fact.

      YOU are unaware of the hostilities happening, so you assume they DIDN’T happen. which is wrong.

      this genocide didn’t just suddenly happen, it’s been going on for decades. it’s simply been a much slower process before (except for all the times in-between when it wasn’t slow at all, but I’m not about to copy-paste half o wikipedia. look it up if you don’t want to be ignorant), which makes no difference.

      a genocide, by definition, is not bound to a certain timeframe; when a people is eradicated deliberately, it doesn’t matter at all how long that process took.

      Palestinians have been under direct attack for almost century now. that entire time is a continuous state of genocide.

      What a loser comment,

      Relative peace to you and your Zionist friends.

      they are literally destroying people home, killing their sheep, rape them in prison, and stealing their body parts, and soon death penalty to anyone resists. Along with continuous killing.

        I am not in favor of killing the Palestinians. It is factual to say that the rate of death and humans rights violations did sharply change after the terror attack on that concert. So did the amount of tanks in Gaza. You cannot say that nothing changed or started from that.
