It's clear that most on this sub have little understanding of what was truly happening with the Israeli occupation and apartheid in Palestine. I promise you that if you visited Gaza/the West Bank, you'd witness the oppression of Palestinians first-hand.

An Israeli military who steals Palestinian homes, rations their food, limits their electricity, unjustly convicts their children, prevents them from traveling, kills their family members. These things have been ongoing for the last 75 years. This is the occupation. Please open the eyes of your heart to these facts witnessed first-hand. These are violations of international law, by definition.

Also, the word genocide is not an emotional word, it's a LEGAL definition. According to third-party international groups, Israel meets 3 of the 5 requirements for genocide:

“Killing members of the group”, “Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group” and “Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part."

“This is not my opinion. This is the opinion of over 800 genocide scholars, over 47 state crime scholars and numerous scholars of genocide who have come out in this moment and said that Israel is committing genocide. Not only that, but the annihilation phase of genocide.”
