SATISH SHARMA - not just Rotigraphy.: (The term "genocide" includes far more than "successfully slaughtering everyone in a population as quickly as possible,"

There are many Israel supporters who treat the claim that Israel committed genocide in Gaza as if it's some sort of fringe, laughable delusion that only crazies assert. In fact, this conclusion has been endorsed by most major human rights groups (including Israeli ones), leading scholars of genocide (including leading Israeli scholars and countless Jewish ones), duly constituted international tribunals, many countries around the world, UN inquiries, and all kinds of associations of scholars. You can dismiss them all as bigoted and anti-Semitic if you want (groups or scholars criticizing Israel are reflexively dismissed as such). But the conclusion that Israel committed classic genocide in Gaza is not some assertion that only gets made by random internet accounts. It's approaching a consensus in the world of groups, tribunals and scholars most qualified to adjudicate the question. (The term "genocide" includes far more than "successfully slaughtering everyone in a population as quickly as possible," and the belief that it only covers that act is part of the confusion and/or misinformation on this question). Also: the US, UK and much of Europe paid for, armed and otherwise enabled most of it.
