2024 Word of the Year: Genocide (as in, Gaza) (Juan Cole | Informed Comment, 2024-12-29)

———

“… the most powerful man in the world, Joe Biden, insisted that what Israel is doing in Gaza is not genocide. In fact, most US politicians of both parties have either issued similar denials or have just been quiet on the issue.”

“If a country cavalierly throws aside this requirement [to minimize civilian casualties] and deliberately and consciously adopts rules of engagement allowing a hundred civilian casualties for each high-value militant killed, as both Israel’s +972 Mag and the New York Times* say Israel has done, that course of action could fall under the heading of genocide.”
