  • The only claims of genocide in this whole affair are the ones the UN has found plausible that Israel is committing.

    This is your brain on Hamas propaganda.

    On 16 October, an open letter signed by around 240 legal experts, including jurists and academics, declared the Hamas attack on 7 October 2023 as a “crime of genocide.”

    On 17 October 2023, Genocide Watch published a “Genocide Emergency Alert”, stating that “Hamas targeted Israelis simply because they were Israelis. It was the deadliest massacre of Jews since the Holocaust. Iran, Hamas, Hezbollah, and Palestinian Islamic Jihad have expressed their genocidal intent to destroy the nation of Israel. The massacres by Hamas constituted acts of genocide. The attacks were also crimes against humanity and war crimes.”[49] On 24 October 2023, Genocide Watch issued a new statement. In the statement, scholars of Holocaust studies and genocide studies and prevention, including Gregory H. Stanton and Israel Charny asserted that Hamas’ actions against Israeli civilians qualify as genocide and crimes against humanity.

    In November 2023, a lawyer[who?] representing the families of nine Israeli victims of the 7 October Hamas attacks filed a complaint at the International Criminal Court (ICC) accusing Hamas of genocide.

    Hilly Moodrick-Even Khen, a senior lecturer of public international law and chair of Ariel University Center for the Research and Study of Genocide, asserted that the crimes committed by Hamas on October 7 constitute the crime of genocide.

    According to the Economist, Hamas fighters who conducted the attack on October 7, were carrying out actions in line with their genocidal intentions outlined in the group’s founding charter.

    British historian Niall Ferguson characterized the events of 7 October as indicative of Hamas’ intent to re-enact the Holocaust.

    Martin Shaw viewed Hamas’ attack as “a wave of ‘genocidal massacres,’ localized mass killings whose victims were defined by their Israeli-Jewish identity”

    And that is only some examples from the real world. source
