The UN has said that in all the wars fought since 1945, the civilian-to-combatant ratio of deaths has been 9:1. In Afghanistan, the Western powers brought that figure down to 4:1, and in Iraq, to 3:1. But no army in history has managed to bring that ratio to below 1:1, as Israel has done in Gaza, with 17,800 civilians killed because of the war, and 26,000 Hamas combatants killed. Shouldn’t this feat by the IDF be shouted from the rooftops?
The International Association of Genocide Scholars, which has wrongfully and in defiance of the evidence accused Israel of “genocide,” also criticizes Israel because some Israeli politicians have called for the forced expulsion of people from Gaza. Some Israeli leaders — a minority — have called for the forced expulsion of people from Gaza. Many of them have called for the temporary expulsion of Gazans while the territory’s infrastructure is being rebuilt, for their presence while that is going on would be dangerous for them, and at the same time would slow the pace both of the removal of rubble and the rebuilding. Some Gazans will want to leave permanently, tired of the violence and squalor, for places less likely to revert back to violence, but their voluntary removal does not constitute ethnic cleansing.
It is true that in the immediate aftermath of the October 7 attack, several Israeli leaders gave vent to their rage, noting that more than a thousand ordinary Gazans accompanied Hamas terrorists when they went into Israel, to join in the fun of raping and murdering Israelis, and furthermore, when the hostages were being dragged back, deep into Gaza, those “ordinary Gazans” beat them as they lay helpless and half-naked on the back of flat-bed trucks or flung on the handlebars of motorbikes. But they did not “dehumanize” the Gazans, as the IAGS claims, and when the initial shock of the attack had worn off, dialed down their rhetoric.
Hamas proved on October 7, 2023 with its orgy of rape, torture, mutilation, and murder, with its burning whole families alive, decapitating babies, gouging out eyes, cutting off the breasts of women and genitalia of men, that it is hellbent on genocide. And the triumphant Allahu-akbaring of many Gazans, and other Arabs and Muslims too, when they learned of that attack, makes clear their genocidal impulse.
The IAGS claims that Israel has “targeted Gaza’s entire population.” If Israel has “targeted Gaza’s entire population,” as those 120 IAGS members claim, then why has it devoted so much effort to warning that “entire population” away from sites that the IDF has targeted? If it has targeted Gaza’s “entire population,” then why has Israel sent 1.3 million tons of aid into Gaza since the war began? Why has Israel, just since May, delivered more than one hundred million meals to Gazans? Why has Israel arranged for wounded children to be transferred from Gaza to hospitals in Jordan?
Civilians have been killed in Gaza, but that has not been Israel’s intention. Those deaths are an unavoidable result of Hamas’ policy of embedding itself and its weapons in civilian areas and buildings.
Since only 120 of the 500 members of the IAGS have declared Israel to be guilty of genocide, that body can hardly be honestly invoked as supporting the charge of “genocide.” But while the UN and some Western countries declare that they will not be swayed by the IAGS, they still say that they will accept whatever the International Court of Justice decides. But the ICJ is rotten through and through with antisemitism.

These are sick people who want to invert reality. The attacked countries by terrorists are made illegitimate if they fight back.
This is the Is the Islamic playbook.
Walter Sieruk says
On reality It’s that Hamas that has every intention of committing genocide against the Jewish race For that dangerous and malice’ filled jihad entity even has that it’s charter .
Furthermore, it’s Hamas that put its genocidal goal in action, murderous actions.
For on October 7th 2023 it had its Muslim terrorists invade and commit mass murder on a horrific scale. It was an horrendous evil
Those jihad terrorist of Hamas even went further with heinous vile wickedness. For they kidnaped then raping vile and heinous jihadists of Hamas did to those girls and young women and still is completely unconscionably cruel and evil. Likewise on that same day malicious murderous Muslims terrorists of Hamas did was so very wicked that is was an abomination to everything that is good decent just and right.
To put this in another way, on 10/7/ 23 ,those murderous Hamas jihadists who invaded Israel and committed other heinous and affronts , as mass murders and vile horrific sex assaults and outright rapes as well as kidnapping and other malicious and murderous Islamic terrorist jihad attacks against those peaceful young people at that music festival , on 10 /7/23., are also horrendously heinous cruelly hateful and wickedly mutilating them are Muslim terrorists of the most abhorrent and despicable sort.
Those Hamas jihadists are an outright abomination. Those horrendous atrocities of mass murder and other horrifically wicked that events that occurred on that specific terrible day. It’s Hamas that is guilty of genocide.
Walter Sieruk says
The ones who should really have of war crime of genocide warrants out against them, for the arrest are the jihadist chiefs of Hamas and their Muslim terrorists murderous stooges The reason why this is so is twofold.
First, this is because they are top dogs of a violent and deadly jihad organization, that reveals in its charter that its intention to the commit worldwide genocide against the Jewish race.
Second, the heads of Hamas used its jihadist stooges invade Israel on October 7, 2023 to commit mass murder as well as other vile and heinous atrocities against the Jewish people.
Furthermore, the Muslim despots of that hostile Islamic regime of Iran should also have arrest warrant sent out for them. This is because they had sent many deadly weapons to Hamas and encourages those Hamas top dogs to launch a jihadist invasion of Israel murdering her people.

In the Rwanda genocide, it’s estimated that Hutus killed two-thirds of the Tutsi population.
Before 1915 it’s estimated that there were 1.5 million Armenians – Christians not Muslims – within the Muslim Ottoman empire. Allahu-akbaring mohammedans – Turkish and non-Turkish, but all mohammedan – had gleefully and joyfully mass-murdered more than half of the Armenian population (600,000 – 1.2 million of them) by 1917.
In Cambodia between 1975 and 1979 **two million** people were mass-murdered, on ideological grounds, by other Cambodians.
For the war against jihad fortress/armed-camp Gaza to qualify as a ‘genocide’, on par with these three instances, *at least* 500,000 inhabitants of Gaza – mostly civilians – should be dead. In fact, after two years of non-stop urban warfare, a lot fewer than 100,000 have died from ANY cause… and one must remember that if there were no war at all, when you have a population of 2.2 million people, there are going to be deaths from disease, accidents, old age, etc. Most of those directly killed – and all of those intentionally killed – have been enemy combatants killed in combat… people who, if they had the firepower that Israel does, would – chanting the Islamic war-cry allahu-akbar – have joyfully committed a *real* genocide upon the entire non-Islamic population of Israel… or, indeed, upon ANY non-Islamic population ANYWHERE (exactly as their jihadi counterparts in Nigeria are doing right now to Nigerian Christians of various ethnicities, and as their counterparts in Pakistan would just love to do to every Hindu, Christian, Buddhist and other non-Islamic person in India).
Walter Sieruk says
That bogus claim of “war crimes” and “genocide” is false. The Muslims terrorists of Hamas are the villains in their horrendous evil goal committing against genocide of the Jewish people. Those ones who should really have of war crime of genocide charges made against them.
Hamas is a violent and deadly jihad organization, that reveals in its charter that its intention to the commit worldwide genocide against the Jewish race.
Those top dogs of Hamas used its jihadist stooges invade Israel on October 7, 2023 to commit mass murder as well as other vile and heinous atrocities against the Jewish people.
Furthermore, about those innocent those children who died in Gaza because the jihadists Hamas hiding among places with children. Also this current war that Hamas started this with Israel on October 7th 2023 when it launched its brutal vicious and murderous and even vile and heinous jihadist attacks on the peaceful Jewish citizens of the State of Israel. Then the Israel Defense Force strikes back a Hamas in Gaza, as it should have, Hamas then matters even worse, Hamas deliberately. hides it’s jihadists bases and weapon storage centers at places that have children in them. Hamas has even on Muslim terrorist hideout. centers in hospitals. Then Hamas blames the IDF for the death of those innocent children who died in. Gaza. Therefore, in reality the actual, real, bloodguilt for the death of those children of Gaza on the wicked hands of the Hamas jihadists. Hamas is guilty of genocide and not Israel
Walter Sieruk says
In the newspaper The Epoch Times April 3-6, 2024, A14 the reader in informed about “Civilian Casualties.” For it reads, “Israel risks the lives of its soldiers to prevent civilians deaths. Hamas risks the lives of civilians to prevent terrorist’s death. Israel considers it a failure, and Hamas considers it a globally advantageous when civilians die than its soldiers.”
The contrast between Israel and Hamas is vast and outstanding.
OLD GUY says
Hamas leaders could care less about the deaths of the civilians in Gaza, Israel or any other place they hate and want to control. One has to be blind and deaf to NOT see the brutality of Islam around the world.
Walter Sieruk says
Those charge of “genocide’” against Israel are as absurd as its also false. For it’s those jihadists of Hamas who committed action of attempted genocide against the Jewish people.
For it was Hamas that stated that current war in the Middle East by murderously invading Israel, on October 7,th , and now has its jihadists hide their terror and weapon centers among civilians ,including children in Gaza and then have the gall to blame the Israel Defense Force when civilians are killed.
For it was Hamas using its jihadists stooges then attempted to commit genocide against the Jewish people and the jihadists of Hamas even went further in heinous evil by kidnapping many Israel’s and raping many Jewish females .
Those Hamas jihadists are so cruel and vicious that they even took Jewish infants and burned them to death while they were still alive.
In spite of all those facts, some despicable people want to have acquittal for Hamas from all is wicked jihad terrorism and release its jihadists from the monstrous Islamic evil that they have so vicious committed and are very guilty of, and yet condemn Israel for striking back and Hamas in self- defense. This is absurd and wrong. Very absurd and wrong.
To add to this libelous and slanderous of false charges of genocide are made against Israel about it heads of government and the IDF.
Such charges are as absurd as they are also wrong. Those changes are very absurd.
Related to this, the Bible informs its reader that “Acquitting the guilty and condemning the innocent – – the Lord detests them both.” Proverbs 17:15. [N.I.V.]

As Daniel pointed out yesterday, it’s infested w/ mohammedans. Otherwise, where is the IAGS condemnation of Bangladesh, where a bunch of Hindus are murdered daily or forcibly converted to islam?
