I suspect some clarification will come out that claims that there’s some reason it doesn’t count as genocide because of some narrow parsing of words. In other words, it’s only sparkling indiscriminate mass murder of a mostly homogeneous region, not genocide.
Meanwhile, Republicans are going ignore this and start impeachment proceedings on DHS secretary Alejandro Mayorkas due to border security issues instead.
I mean I don't want the Republicans to impeach anyone, but if you're going to impeach a cabinet-level position, impeach the one pretending a genocide isn't happening while we all watch it happen with our own eyes.
The whole "genocide" talk is just so misguided. If Israel was trying to just kill as many Palestinians as they could, only a raving, idiotic lunatic would think the numbers would be anywhere even close to where they are.

Would it be more palatable to their sensitive dispositions if we called it ethnic cleansing instead?

Americans are cool with genocide; you just have to call it "manifest destiny."

That's what I was wondering. Could they please release the full definition of the version of the word "genocide" they're using?
