About 40k Palestinians have been killed by Israel so far. These people are stateless and not allowed to leave, have limited access to food and water, and have no hope of ever fighting back or escaping. That includes the innocent children who represent a huge fraction of the victims. It certainly draws parallels to the Holocaust, if nothing else, though the scale and motivations are different.
The definition is industrialized mass murder... it's not that easy.
Yep still fits Israel. They engineered it. They used AI to do it and look like they are not to blame. They systematically do it. All Israeli economy is now being spent on getting and fitting weapons that will tear innocent civilians into literal bits.
It's not even enough for some people to hear holocaust survivors compare it to the holocaust. The idea of holocaust exceptionalism is now being used by Israel to justify a genocide, so excuse me for not jumping on this wagon. Palestinians are also being killed for merely being Palestinians just like the Jews. It's an ongoing holocaust.
No the definition is a mass murder.
There is a distincting between the Holocaust, the event that happened during WW2, and a holocaust, the definition for a mass murder.
