Genocide. Indeed, genocide. Israel, genocide. Where, oh where, are those who have been declared terrorists? And those imprisoned for uttering the word genocide? Private Eye, would you like to comment again? I think you are fully entitled to do so. Gaza, oh Gaza, this comes too late for your children. Your schools and your houses are flattened. Your hospitals destroyed, your doctors and nurses murdered, the sick and injured left to die slowly. Those still alive starve, as they weep for their murdered families.

Too late. TOO LATE. AND STILL NO PEACE.

It's not so much that he's a former lawyer - it's more that he's Washington's man in the Westminster Labour Party.

He’s not just Washington’s man in Parliament, he’s Israel’s puppet: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=u6UCAFiFlGc

Why has it taken so long for officials to say what the people have been saying for months???

The loyalty to the narrative trumps the duty to call out genocide and the rage, disgust and feelings of betrayal that creates for the BBC and similar news outlets.

It shows us who the people running the western world and reporting on it really are.

The BBC, and media outlets that deny that what Israel's doing to Gaza with our tax dollars, aren't worthy of anyone's attention.

Britain and American governments have been involved in the genocide for ages and key members must be tried at The Hague when the world finally rights itself. Zionism from the beginning has been an absolutely unconscionable despicable inhumane concept and Israel never should have been conceived. They do not have any right to displace, harm, or imprison Palestinians and they all must be prosecuted and punished! Free free Palestine! 🇵🇸

Easy is the descent to hell whenever Israel is involved.

This is from 2023. So please don't claim that it's 'just Palestinians' talking about genocide.

https://x.com/AJEnglish/status/1724790267579121984 I have other examples of people citing genocide in 2023.

Why has it taken so long? When lifelong beliefs are challenged by what you see with your eyes, you have a strong cognitive dissonance and it will take more for your mind to change.

Our ‘leaders’ gained a mandate to lead our nation from us. Obscurity now awaits them but their actions amounting to an amoral obscenity reflect on all of us.

Waiting for any 'expert' to define genocide is like waiting at a roadside accident for a doctor to pass by before staunching the blood of an injured man, or helping him to breath.

We're still waiting for 'experts' to acknowledge that the vaccine-injured are indeed injured. The dead are already buried. Denial is the new willful blindness. It saves a lot of guilt and even more stupidity.

Strange. I’ve read experts saying there are vaccine-injured people, but that the danger from viruses such as SARS-CoV-2 is much, much higher.

I knew someone who died from a blood clot a few days after covid vaccination. It’s certainly possible the clot was caused by the vaccine, but I had not one iota of doubt that I should continue to get boosters, because I was well aware of the statistics.

The boosters did the final coup de grâce statistically speaking. The original 'vaccines' were 'diluted by a high percentage of saline shots. Couldn't have the damage done too uniformly or immediately apparent. Had to have countless endorsers saying 'It did me no harm' as well as the vaccinated who got Covid ( vaccinated?!, safe and effective?) who said 'Imagine how much worse it would have been if I had not been vaccinated! The world was duped, very cleverly but the price is being paid now. Immunity deficiency, blood clots never seen before ( research John O'Looney Undertaker) myocarditis, a fourfold increase in birth defects and widespread infertility! The vaccines were the weapon, not the initial Covid which merely justified them.

"Any continued denials are obscene."

They are--and the denials even before this declaration from genocide scholars were obscene and totally nonsense as well. All these genocide-deniers need to be held accountable for slowing up aid to the starving people and an end to this holocaust. Maybe these genocide-deniers can clean up the rubble in Gaza and bury bodies? It might teach them a lesson.

About the 23 month delay in the face of live-streamed, publicly declared genocide as stated policy?

That tells you all you need to know about these outfits, and the measure of ACTUAL commitment to law, truth, equity, justice, political legitimacy and human decency by the profit-driven, capitalist regimes of the world.

The United Kingdom of the Devil IsRael is a disciple of the Devil IsRael Antichrist so the government can never side with humanity.

I hope the majority of the population are not also disciples of the Devil IsRael and vote out the Antichrist.

But randoms on the internet keep telling us it isn't a genocide.

I just don't know who to believe...
