I as a german asked an expert on that topic. Chatgpt. According to chatGPT there is no genocide if you don't kill them with the intention to wipe them from the planet. So if for example you drop accidentally poison into their water because you mixed the Botox and sugar bottle in the water station then even if they all die it is not a genocide.

And since chatgpt is infallable this is the only truth.

Good thing then that Israeli politicians haven’t been on record saying that Gaza needs to be "wiped from the face of the Earth"!

Except that basically all Israeli politicians have made statements saying they have genocidal intentions.

The charge document includes quotes of expression of genocidal intent by the following state officials:

  • Prime Minister of Israel
  • President of Israel
  • Israeli Minister of Defence
  • Israeli Minister for National Security
  • Israeli Minister of Energy and Infrastructure
  • Israeli Minister of Finance
  • Israeli Minister of Heritage
  • Israeli Minister of Agriculture
  • Deputy Speaker of the Knesset and Member of the Foreign Affairs and Security
    Committee
  • Israeli Army Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories (‘COGAT’)
  • Israeli Army Reservist Major General, former Head of the Israeli National Security
    Council, and adviser to the Defence Minister

You can read the actual quotes in the application document in chapter D.

Upvoted but I wish you would have run your post through ChatGPT as well my friend. That was hard to read.

Comma rule in German is so fucked that normal humans just give up and never use any.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago

I could use german grammar to set the commas, but then I would have probably 10 to many for English grammar. So I tend to use less in English.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Comma rules in German are logical and follow set rules. When I asked my English teacher about comma rules in English, she said she's not teaching them cause they're too complicated.
When I asked my English teacher during my foreign exchange year in the US, she basically said the same.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 7 months ago

As a native English speaker, I barely understand comma rules either. The only person I know that I would expect to always get commas right has a Master’s degree in English. The extremely oversimplified rule I was taught as a young child was to add a comma anywhere you would naturally pause while speaking. Doesn’t always work, but it works well enough.

I know your being sarcastic but I just want to point out that this is incorrect

here is no genocide if you don’t kill them with the intention to wipe them from the planet

If you plan to cull a demographic by only 10% its still genocide according to the UN. This is the definition that South Africa's case at the ICJ will be ruled under. Under this definition all ethnic cleansing requires genocide.

Fire Nation: "We never did the Air Nomad genocide. We didn't intend to kill them all, we only intended to kill one guy"

[–] [email protected] 6 points 7 months ago (2 children)

Yeah, genocide often requires intent. So I guess this could be more of a massacre than a genocide.

But there's quite a few different definitions, some are more lax.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (26 children)

Except for all the politicians, from shutzstaffel commanders to the (Hitler apologist) PM's PR guy saying exactly this, using words like cexterminate' 'wipe from the earth' 'every last one' and many individual storm troopers posting on their social media (in videos while doing war crimes), or even their 'civilians' frequently saying it

Edit: nevermind. It wasnt a press guy; their pm.said it himself. Of course it did.

Teeeeensy nitpick: there are two definitions of genocide that have ever mattered. Two. Not many. Two.

Lemkins original, much much broader, definition, And the one you're familiar with, adopted by the UN because like everyone on the permanent security council thing had an interest in the definition being a little more narrow. Under which the way the Palestinian people are being exterminated absolutely still counts.

Interestingly, by lemkin's broader definition, making the shutzstaffel stop killing Palestinians might constitute a genocide of the kapostanis; it would be destroying every trace of their culture, and the means of its reproduction.

I didn't say there were plenty "that have ever mattered" so it doesn't seem like a nitpick towards me.
