The crux in the definition is proving intent. It is almost impossible to prove in real time. Putin is not coming out and declaring to wipe out all Ukrainians in the east of Ukraine.
But if you judge the actions the intent is pretty clear.
As for Israel actions, I'm not convinced. If they wanted to Gaza could cease to exist today, not tomorrow.
First we have to precisely name the neo-zionist branch and not whole Israel, but it's correct that Likud leads the Israeli state so... Yeah... (no, im not anti-seismic)
- Imho right the definition is already complex and it's called genocide when things are appearing so blatantly it's almost impossible to refute.
- Now regarding Israel, putting aside the invasion, then illegal steal of properties [illegal following UN vote] => refugees in gaza => gaza getting bombed... We have 1 point which is often ignored: the poisoning of water slowly killing Palestinians. Because of economic destruction and all. This can be definitely included into a genocide narrative. Along with the global "slow genocide" which was characterized by many experts & schoolars anyway.
