          So for anyone other than that guy who might actually be interested…

          Article II

          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:

          ( a ) Killing members of the group;

          ( b ) Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group;

          ( c ) Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part;

          ( d ) Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group;

          ( e ) Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group.

          There is video evidence of 1-3, and I would personally say that the intentional, wanton destruction of hospitals, almost 20 years blockade with restriction of caloric intake, escalating into a famine. Guess who is specifically called out in a recent report by MedGlobal:

          But we are also seeing that pregnant and lactating women are suffering from this, as well, and there’s a rapid increase in malnutrition across mothers, as well.

            This is a genuine question: Is there a distinction between how horrific war can be vs straight-up genocide?

            I’m only asking because the UN has ruled that this isn’t a genocide but I’d like to hear your take.

            Edit: I’d also like to see evidence of the intentional hospital bombings if you’d be so kind. Thank you.

          I just read a book and looked it up. you’re right.

          it’s just the systemic attacking and wiping out of a group of people.

          but not a genocide.

      Proving that liberals like fascism when it’s not pointing at them. To them, it is a weapon that should be wielded against their opponents rather than a blight that needs to be eradicated before it kills us all. Your irresponsibility will have devastating consequences.
