    You’re right. Given demographic changes in the US, I do think it’s only a matter of time before most Americans consider Israel to be an albatross around their necks.

          What is the general public opinion in Israel? Any large number of Israelis opposed to this genocide?

              Is this your professional opinion as an expert in international law, or?

                  So what kind of qualifications do you have to make this assessment, that it’s not a genocide despite looking exactly like one?

                    If it moves, sounds and looks like a duck… Saying it is not genocide does not make it disappear.

                    A law degree and years of practice trying cases, interpreting and applying evidence and standards of proof, proving and disproving intent.

                    A high number of civilian casualties does not equal a genocide. Especially not when they are being prevented from leaving by Hamas and being used as human shields.

                    Proportionately, the total number of Palestinians compared to total number of Iraqis, there were 150 times more civilian deaths and Iraq per capita than in this war. Do you consider the US war in Iraq to be a genocide?
