Subject: RE: BS: Israel Moves in.
Gee whiz, golly, I was just funning with you in my response to Bobad. I guess you didn't see the humor. It's okay.

Regarding your recent posting of definitions of Genocide" Are the Bold clauses/sentences your emphasis within the defintions? Are they found that way in a secondary source that you used? Or are they actually written that way in the original documents?

What ever the case, I obviously do not believe those portions emphasized reflect what Israel is doing in Gaza. What I believe is going on, and what some others here also agree, is that Israel is acting directly on provocations, and trying to be as accurate as possible in the targets they attack. Do they sometimes hit the wrong target? Unfortunately they probably do, sometimes. That is certainly not genocide in any of the definitions you posted.
