WTF Gavin. Yeah, no "technically" it may not be an actual genocide, as Gazans still exist, but my dude, Israel is certainly doing a bang up job of acting like they really want to go all the way and do it.

Fucking hell, this splitting of political hairs and pandering to the morally bankrupt people in AIPAC is disgusting..

    Genocide does not require the complete elimination of the targeted people. It also doesn't even involve killing.

    A UN Commission has already found that they have and the International Court of Justice has found that the accusation is plausible (the case is still ongoing). Only 10 countries have actively rejected the claim. Newsome isn't technically correct, he's just doing pro-Israel spin.
