I'm guessing politically correct answer.
Some argue yes, some say no.
Well, also, I mean, I think one of the real problems, and this is why I kind of avoided using the term genocide too much, at least in the beginning, is that...
There's no good definition for genocide.
That definition they gave you at the beginning is the official codified under international law definition.
It's attempting to destroy a group in whole or in part.
Well, what the hell does that mean?
And that's why they could say Hamas committed a genocide on October 7th.
It's like, I don't know, they destroyed a group in part.
And the whole South African case that they brought to the ICJ was...
Basically, the entire case was just the Israelis in their own words.
Their argument was that there's a genocidal intent here.
When Benjamin Netanyahu's talking to a group of military and calls them Amalek, well, the story of Amalek from the Bible is that the moral of the story was you have to kill all the women and children.
That's what the story was about.
I think you even had to kill the ox or something like that.
I'm not an expert in the Bible.
But it was like that was the point.
It was like an ancient tribe that was beefing with the Israelites.
And they were like, the moral was you have to kill all the women and children too.
