People who don't understand how this was written always focus on "in whole or in part" because they don't understand it has to be with *intent*, otherwise every nation that's ever gone to war is presumptively guilty of genocide.

Here is the copy and paste. I'm not an attorney, just an HR person so IMO, I'm not qualified but "intent", as Tom has noted, is the key word.

They’ve stated their intent is to wipe out Gaza. And they’re like 40% of the way through the job. I hear what you’re arguing, I’m just sure why you ignore that part.

What part is *not* covered by Israel’s actions?

Stu, it’s a legal standard that requires very specific evidence of what someone was *thinking* (what was their intent) when they performed an action - e.g. was it their specific intent to bomb a hospital in order to cause the death of innocent civilians? Or was the intent something less than that?

Are they intentionally starving the Palestinians by blocking food assistance?
