>   1.  Previously we heard similar calls against China’s cultural genocide
> against the Uighurs.
>   2.  Ditto: any call to stop the slaughter of HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS of

>   3.  Some mention of Hamas’s Oct. 7 atrocities, VIDEO-documented by THEIR
> OWN FIGHTERS.
>   4.  Some mention of the fact that in contravention of all international
> law, Hamas abducted and is holding hostage for over 3 months Israeli
> civilian women, men, and children.
>   5.  Hamas hid massive amounts of armaments in hospitals, schools,
> kindergartens, and private civilian homes (e.g., under baby cribs!!) –
> again, against Geneva Convention laws of warfare. Thus, where exactly is
> Israel supposed to fight? Just on roads or parks?
>   6.  Israel sent messages (flyers and phone calls!) to all Gazan
> civilians in North Gaza to get out and move south in order NOT to be in the
> line of fire when the IDF attacked Hamas soldiers. This is the very
> opposite of intended genocide.
>   7.  If already people here mention “genocide”, then what do you call
> Hamas’ Charter that calls for the elimination not of Israelis but of all
> JEWS? And after Oct. 7, their spokesman said that they will do it (Oct. 7)
> again and again. So who exactly is “genocidal” here?
> Given that this forum is for academics, one would expect a bit more
> “context” in respondents’ posts – not to mention understanding and noting
> ALL the facts involved.
