The elasticity of the concept of ‘genocide’: by acclamation
One cannot recall such unanimity, indignation, or moral commitment (let's just leave it at that) with anything prior to the ‘Israeli genocide’. The genocide of all genocides, or should we ask? So anticipated (and never desired). Thanks to that haute couture figure of cultural Sanchism, Yolanda Díaz-minister, among others, we already knew about the genocide in the weeks prior to the military occupation of the Strip (Egyptian until 1967, but not claimed), when there were only (modal) aerial bombings.
We always believed that genocide was a legal matter, at most a historical legal matter, and that the paradigm and empirical event were the Nazi and Turkish Armenian holocausts. Then Bosnians, Tutsis and others would be added. Total extermination, as defined by legal science, was in any case without the possibility of surrender, because only then would its raison d'être be fulfilled. It is so shocking that, in the Israeli genocide, by acclamation, this opportunity is not taken into account, let alone advocated for humanitarian reasons.
A genocide with the possibility of surrender and an end, and without violations committed, although suffered by the perpetrators of genocide, with unbridled ritualistic sadism, 7/O. With no other desire than the complete and unconditional annihilation of those who were only later genocidal in war. The true genocidal never limits/delimits his purposes. Let us depart from logical reasoning and turn to the objectivity of statistics. The figures explode (in space and time). Syria alone, 500,000 dead, hundreds of thousands of exiles and tens of thousands of rapes (not the trifling matter of hundreds at the festival); Iraq, Yemen, Sudan.
More staggering figures: in the new State of Israel there were 700,000 Palestinians, today there are more than 2 million, 20% of whom are Israeli citizens. The total number of Palestinians exceeded one million; today there are more than five million. Without straying too far from the Israeli genocide (the most voted-for genocide in the world), at least in the West and its pretentious left; Arab countries and statements, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Egypt insist on the release of hostages and the disappearance of Hamas.
What happened to the PLO: Jordan/1970 and Lebanon/1982. If the voting public is so pro-Hamas, why shouldn't civil servants, journalists and collaborators in Gaza be too? In the future, we will know absolutely everything, including famine. Susan Sontag warned us about the fascinating list of falsified images of war. There are already verified examples.
