News is from last year, but it’s still dystopic for anyone that missed it:
At a European Commission press briefing in Brussels on 13 October, Nunziati asked the spokesperson Paula Pinho: “You’ve repeatedly said that Russia should pay for the reconstruction of Ukraine. Do you think Israel should also pay for the reconstruction of Gaza, given that it destroyed much of the Strip and its civilian infrastructure?”
on 27 October, the journalist received a letter terminating his working relationship with the news agency, which, however, did not specify the reasons for this decision.
The Agenzia Nova news agency told Fanpage.it that Nunziati’s question was “completely out of place and technically incorrect” and had created “embarrassment for the agency”
At least four out of five criteria are documented. And while I think Russia/Ukraine and Isreal/Palestine are not comparable in a lot of aspects, what Russia is trying to achieve still does look like an attempt at genocide.
The Genocide Convention recognizes five distinct genocidal acts:
killing members of the group,
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,
imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group, and
forcibly transferring children of the group to another group.

Are Putin and Palestine on the same side? Is Putins attack on Ukraine helping the suffering people of Gaza and the Westbank?
I just said: ‘Putin attempts genocide in Ukraine.’ I didn’t call to allocate resources somewhere or ask to let Israel have it‘s way but stop Russia.
Russia is absolutely not deliberately inflicting group conditions calculated to bring their destruction. Compare civilian casualty rates in the US invasion of Iraq vs Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. You are grasping at individual instances, not widespread practices.
They are targeting civilian infrastructure and residential buildings hundreds of kilometres away from the front.
Give me figures for civilian casualty rates and compare them to other modern conflicts like the Invasion of Iraq. You’re again talking from isolated incidents and not generalized practice.
What’s with the white washing russias genocide in Ukraine? Jesus fucking christ what’s wrong with you?
“Everything is a genocide” is a form of genocide minimization against actual genocides, which is why the term should be strictly applied only to actual genocides.
You can condemn the invasion without engaging in fictitious claims of genocide.
