  1. How dare Justin Wellby. How dare he minimise the deaths of Palestinians. How dare he shelter the zionists. How dare he tell us we do not know what we're saying. How dare he. Article II of the genocide convention defines genocide as a crime under international law binding on all peoples whether they have ratified the convention or not. It is defined in the convention thusly. "In the present Convention, genocide means any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such: 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; Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group." Let's walk through it. The israel ministry of defence and bibi himself have directly stated it is their intention to "wipe the Palestinians off the map." ... their words. That's intent. They are murdering civilians, including an entire hospital of people with indisputable video evidence it was them, and screenshots of their original posted press releases celebrating their hitting of the hospital. They care causing physical and mental harm to Palestinians. Terror in fact. They have blockaded the Palestinians for years, and systematically subjected them to siege with no food, water or utilities. They have prevented the Palestinians from providing their own utilities. They have prevented the Gazans from leaving. They drive them from their lands, from their religious monuments, from their homes. They shoot at them indiscriminately. They go into their homes and slaughter them. Israel have open policies intended to limit the number of Palestinian births. They kidnap children, be it to hold them in detention in israel, or to relocate them with an israeli family. The actions of israel meet every last criteria of genocide described in article II of the convention AND where to be genocide they only have to meet 2 criteria. So how dare Justin Wellby. Perhaps instead of closing his eyes and talking about half hearted regret he might stop and think about what he's actually saying. Perhaps he might understand what is actually happening to Palestinians, not just in the Gaza strip but the west bank too. Perhaps he should bother to actually understand the criminal definition of the word , and why we say it. It isn't emotional hyperbole, it is an objective fact. His wilful ignorance is appalling and shameful.
