This thread is making the rounds, so let's test it. Why is it problematic to craft a standard so narrow that it concludes there was no genocide in Croatia/Gaza? Well, let's apply it to something we know was a genocide and see where we land. Let's imagine it's Germany in mid 1941
I don't think I need to convince you that The Holocaust was a genocide. It obviously was. It is the paradigmatic genocide. But where we may find some disagreement is *when* - when did the Holocaust become a genocide?
If you're like me, and you define genocid *broadly*, you'd say as early as 1935 with the Nuremberg Laws. If genocide is, to quote Lemkin, "the destruction of the national pattern of the oppressed group", then it was these laws that made it impossible to be collectively "Jewish" Image

Many are asking me what is a โ€œPlatt Amendmentโ€, so here it goes.
After the 1898 Spanish-American War, the US ended up occupying Cuba. They did not want to annex it, because cheap Cuban sugar was bad for Coloradoโ€™s sugar beets industry, so the Senate came up with a compromise ๐Ÿงต
The US would not annex Cuba and end its occupation on condition that the new independent Cuban republic amended its constitution to specifically state the following:

โ€œThat the government of Cuba consents that the United States may exercise the right to intervene for the preservation of Cuban independence, the maintenance of a government adequate for the protection of life, property, and individual liberty (โ€ฆ)โ€.
The result was the incorporation of Cuba into a form of US suzerainty. It marked the beginning decades of US imperialism in the Caribbean. By 1904, Roosevelt declared that the US would be the regionโ€™s โ€œpolice manโ€, saying:

โ€œChronic wrongdoing, or an impotence which results in a general loosening of the ties of civilized society, may in America, as elsewhere, ultimately require intervention by some civilized nation, and in the Western Hemisphere the adherence of the United Sates to the Monroe Doctrine may force the United States, however reluctantly, in flagrant cases of such wrongdoing or impotence, to the exercise of an international police powerโ€.

This is an incredibly racist worldview. It essentialises Muslims into a single category (โ€œthe dominatorsโ€) against the overwhelming evidence that Israelโ€™s own security actually depends on Muslim allies like Jordan, Egypt, the Gulf states
It also discriminates against Muslim Israelis who are looked down as receiving the favour of rights in a non-Muslim state. Democracy is based on the idea that human rights protect minorities from the dictatorship of the majority, not on the mercy of the democratic dictators
It discriminates against Palestinians by erasing their own struggle for survival as they are killed by the tens of thousands and starved by the millions. They are rendered โ€œpotential dominatorsโ€ that must be contained by the supposed democracy of apartheid

Except for key actors (Israel, Palestine, US) I will only track MFA, HoS and HoG statements.

Hen likes to portray himself as the friendly face of genocide denial, which is why him joining the talking point du jour, about the CIA estimating population growth in Gaza as proof there is no genocide, is rather out of character. It is a really bad & violent argument ๐Ÿงต
Hen doesnโ€™t specifically say it, but the claim is there between the lines: โ€œif population grew, there canโ€™t be a genocide under wayโ€. This is of course patently false from the definition of genocide alone. Population decrease is simply not part of it Image
In fact, only one item of the definition (item a) could potentially lead to population decrease. Items b, c, d, and e can be carried out without any impact on population growth. Whatโ€™s more, they can be committed without a single person dying. Genocide โ‰  mass killing
