No, not according to the current definition. That is why Ireland is trying to change it. Words change all the time so it is possible.

That would equate Gaza and Ukraine with the Holocaust, Rwanda, Cambodia, the nature and magnitude of which were very different. Perhaps they could create a new word for those?

Yes a higher civilian death ratio in Gaza but the Ukraine military are not in civilian areas.

Admittedly Russia actually targets civilians but it is with long range missiles and drones, most of which get intercepted.

That article says Ireland is also trying to expand the definition of genocide to include Ukrainian deaths. I don't know why it does not fit the definition currently; perhaps because Russia are not trying to wipe out the Ukrainian population? I dunno. Get back to us if you find out.

Am just pointing out the legal definition of the word regardless of whether courts are just

Potatoes are cheap by weight. Machine saw a single item and didn't believe it was a potato. Not that anything looks similar; it just flags it for staff to check.

Where should the Israel Jews go now though?

Iranian citizens are not being targeted whereas Iran (and previously Hezbollah) bombed at least one Israeli town where there are no military.

Not "literally". Ireland is trying to expand the definition in the ICJ to make it so though.

Ireland will not be asserting if genocide is being committed, but asserting its interpretation of the Genocide Convention.

Palestine population has been increasing over the last decades. ⅔ of European Jews died in the Holocaust. Comparing very different tragedies here.

Yes he implies that with ambiguous language as a way of weaseling out of the legality of threatening violence.

~~No it isn't. See the tweet in context.~~ https://sh.itjust.works/comment/19206531

Edit: Hmmm that tweet is dodgy AF. It really is a death threat which is disguised as Dems killing their own. Doesn't reveal that the killer was a Republican.

It will be remotely human run.
