    Do you believe that what Israel is doing in Palastine could be considered a genocide by the ICC aside from your point on the holocaust? Just trying to figure out where you stand in this.

      Could be a genocide. Isn’t yet classified as such, might never be.

      E: Also I don’t think it’s necessary to declare it a genocide. At least not for debates among leftist. It’s an obvious mass slaughter and we don’t have act like lawyers and declare it a genocide to despise it.

        No I agree what we call it doesn’t change what is happening, but your reply helped me understand your motive for wanting to distinguish what happens in Gaza and what happend in Europe 80 years ago, so thank you for answering.

          Wow, a constructive debate about Middle East among leftist. :)

          As a German memer, I would have to reply with: Bruder, das ist ja unnormal rar! But I don’t think that’s appropriate for this topic.
