      I think Reuters very much know it’s genocide. They put the conciliatory language in there to try to mollify people from attacking them. The important thing is a mainstream, reputable, mostly objective news source is socializing the fact that this is a genocide. That’s progress.

      I guess hornet set the bar to hight so the Israeli gov will only stop when the finally kill more then 6 000 000 innocent civilians.

      No for real what haunts me is that they are the descendents of those who survived such massacres over the history only to do it themselves when they finally gained power. (They is Israel’gov)

      Edit: Hitler not hornet, wtf sorry guys

          I can say with 110% certainty that I don’t need to be forced to not commit genocide. Hell, I don’t even need to be forced to commit individual murders. If murder was made legal tomorrow, I’m pretty sure that I wouldn’t go on a killing spree because I’m no longer forced to not murder.

          Talk about telling on yourself, if this is what you genuinely think is true for everyone

              Maybe you ought to humble yourself, given that you’re the one stating that you know with absolute certainty how another individual that you know nothing about would or wouldn’t act.

              I never said I was immune to propoganda, lies, or manipulation - there are just simply no lies, manipulations, or propoganda that could make me abandon my morals to the extent of literal genocide. You could probably get me to hate a group you wanted me to hate, but I wouldn’t murder my own worst enemy - so that’s not going to get you anywhere.

    “Risk” of genocide? Risk?

    They need to update their fucking AI model.

    The burning house is at risk of catching fire. The dead man is at risk of heart failure. This headline is at risk of being full of shit.

    Netanyahu is committing genocide in Gaza in much the same way that Milosovic did in Bosnia.

      Hold up their speedy. They’re not there yet. It took the Nazis over 5 years to get to that connotation. Let the Israelis cook. /s

      I’d rather call them facists. A core component of nazism is it’s antisemitism and that seems a touch ridiculous to call israel despite how unfriendly zionosts can be to anti/non zionosts jewish folk.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    GENEVA, Nov 2 (Reuters) - United Nations experts called on Thursday for a humanitarian ceasefire in Gaza, saying time was running out for Palestinian people there who find themselves at “grave risk of genocide”.

    Nearly four weeks of Israeli bombardment against the Gaza Strip in retaliation for deadly attacks by Hamas gunmen in southern Israel on Oct. 7 have killed more than 9,000 people, made up of a majority of women and children, health authorities in the Hamas-run enclave say.

    “We remain convinced that the Palestinian people are at grave risk of genocide,” the group of experts, made up of seven U.N. special rapporteurs, said in a statement.

    Speaking to Reuters after the experts’ statement was issued, one of its signatories said the people of Gaza had been deprived of the “the most basic elements for living.”

    “We are using the term risk of genocide because the process that is (underway) is absolutely indiscriminate, affecting, in this case, more than 2 million people,” said Pedro Arrojo Agudo, Special Rapporteur on the human rights to safe drinking water and sanitation.

    “The situation in Gaza has reached a catastrophic tipping point,” the U.N. experts said, adding that Gazans had been left with scarce water, medicine, fuel and essential supplies while facing health hazards.

    What even is the purpose of a ceasefire? I don’t even understand why the occupation government is against it, they could use it to their advantage. Agree to a ceasefire, give some time for people to desperately try to escape Gaza, allow some aid to the people remaining there, and when it’s all over and people stop seeing you as the monsters you are, then you can continue your “war” and less people will care.

    Afraid Hamas might use that time and aid? Well don’t worry, your army is already getting wrecked on the ground, but it doesn’t matter to you; you can continue wasting equipment, men, and oxygen for as long as you like, while Hamas cannot. Your army will take control of the area, and either get rid of everyone there or get kicked out a second time, either way, you have achieved your actual goals.

      From an international perspective, calling for a ceasefire is reducing the window of forgiveness that Israel currently enjoys from the October 7th terrorist attack.

      The more time that passes, the less tolerance global politicians have, for blatant all-out war crimes.

      This isn’t a secret, the Israeli government knows this, the Israeli military knows this, their doctrine documents acknowledge that they have a window of activity from any tragedy, international politicians know this, their allies know this, the Americans know this.

      So every time an ally of theirs, calls for any delay, ceasefire combo humanitarian aid, they’re trying to reduce that window, so there’s less political damage control they have to conduct for their allies behavior.

      escape where though? Egypt isnt going to let them in - Egypt has a lot of economic issues right now, they cant handle a bunch of refugees. maybe they could take a boat to Lebanon, Syria, or Turkey - Syria and Turkey are still struggling with the aftermath of that massive earthquake & are unlikely to be welcoming. Lebanon could accept them but there’s not a lot going on there. where else then? Jordan maybe?
