You conveniently left out the next section, which contradicts your claim. (As I noted elsewhere, if we're debating ethnic cleansing vs genocide this is an argument about colors of black and rather ghoulish -- but you're misrepresenting the text you're using.)
Nope. More than one Israeli cabinet minister has explicitly advocated eliminating all Palestinians from Gaza.
Bibi's cabinet ministers are indefensible. I consider them an abject lesson in what will happen if we allow the christofascist right to maintain power here. But "nor does an intention to simply disperse a group" -- what I've read (mostly Haaretz) covered displacement (also bad, not the same).
Wait why aren’t you using the actual definition of genocide? That’s weird of you. “Genocide is defined in § 1091 and includes violent attacks with the specific intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnic, racial, or religious group” www.justice.gov/archives/jm/....
Because the UN definition is "the actual definition."
The UN definition says intent must be proven.
No, the word was coined by an ACTUAL person, who outlined the ACTUAL definition very clearly to describe the Nazi extermination of Jews in WWII (an ACTUAL genocide.) www.preventgenocide.org/lemkin/ameri...
The first part says that it has to have intent.
Indeed
