Yes, do we have cause to be against genocide or don’t we? This one is tough. I mean the merits of genocide are obvious but there are drawbacks, too. Those pesky academics can’t see the bigger picture.
Or, generally when students and academics at the world’s top universities start protesting, shit is fucked.
If you're going to define your movement as anti-genocidal you should really have a firm grasp on what genocide is and who is committing it:
Hamas, what Israel has been clear they intend to destroy, is not a national, ethnical, racial or religious group. However, Jews/Israel/Israelis, what Hamas has been clear they intend to destroy, are. Therefore, legally Oct 7 was an act of genocide, and Israel's war on Hamas is not. Such a designation has nothing to do with body count.
I support Israel because I oppose the genocidal. Binding their hands and preventing them from retaliating in self-defense only serves to support genocidal Hamas by keeping them in power.
Wow, the logic in the post is so non-existent I half expect you to make up dumb bullshit along the way
Exactly like claiming a single attack is genocide, but a sustained campaign of bombing homes, refugee camps, and evacuation corridors isn't.
Sorry, you don't get to redefine words and laws.
Did you read the legal definition of genocide I posted above? The definition literally has nothing to do with body count. Call it a massacre, call it a slaughter, call it any number of terms for things you think are bad and don't like, but calling it a genocide is inaccurate, as I have shown above. Words mean things, especially legal terms.
Did "you* read past point #2? In your own list?
Guessing not.
Apparently not with your logic.
