A Stop the genocide in Gaza graffiti was sprayed onto my university a few days ago (Germany I should mention). Uni tried to cover it up but it's currently on display at the busiest part of the campus and I predict it will stay there for a while
Indeed they do and they acknowledge their history, and why this doesn't apply:
In light of German history and the crimes against humanity of the Shoah, the German government is particularly committed to the (UN) Genocide Convention," signed in 1948 in the wake of the Holocaust, Hebestreit said.
He said the Convention marked a "central instrument" under international law to prevent another Holocaust.
For this reason, he said, "we stand firmly against a political instrumentalisation" of the Convention.
Hebestreit acknowledged diverging views in the international community on Israel's military operation in Gaza.
"However the German government decisively and expressly rejects the accusation of genocide brought against Israel before the International Court of Justice," he said. "The accusation has no basis in fact."
They didn't actually present any argument that this isn't a genocide, nor did they even try to address anything the South African delegation have presented. This is state speech for "nuh uh", so the only reason you could see that "they got it right" was if you just liked their conclusion.
I agree with their conclusion, yes. When both sides of the conflict that the genocide statutes were written to address say that this is not a genocide, I find that very compelling.
Nazi Germany's extermination camps are not the only genocides in history, nor does either entity have a special say in what a genocide is. Calling modern Germany the "side" of the Nazis is incredibly offensive, nor is Israel the "side" of the Jewish people. There are plenty of Jews around the world who have lost family in the Holocaust who very much do believe the term does apply.

Well they consider themselves to be atoning for it to this day and accept responsibility, as per the quote above. If you've ever been to Germany they don't shy away from the connection or deny that the Nazis were German.

Wow, that number is quite amazing. 22% of American Jews in 2021 thought that the 2023-24 military campaign is a genocide. So at least 22% of American Jews are time travelers!
The Madagascar Plan was a plan proposed by the Nazi German government to forcibly relocate the Jewish population of Europe to the island of Madagascar. Franz Rademacher proposed the idea in June 1940
The Zionist thing is an easy excuse to make the Palestinians responsible for German crimes. Germany doesn't want israelis moving back.
The second reason Germany is simping this hard is that Germany wants Intel, which is an israeli company, to build more chip factories there. Thus they have to bow their heads to Zionists. Buy AMD kids.
The idea of setting up Israel as a state was so that they could send the Jewish people there because it was thought that they would never be able to integrate into European society, iirc.
Gelsinger and his wife Linda are Christians who "support multiple worthy causes", including sponsorship of disaster relief medical teams. In 2013, Gelsinger co-founded Transforming the Bay with Christ (TBC), a coalition of business leaders, venture capitalists, non-profit leaders and pastors that aims to convert one million people over the next decade. He helped establish the Sacramento-area Christian institution William Jessup University from which he also received an honorary doctorate.
Not because they invest heavily in Israel but because AMD chips are, as of today, better than intel ones.
Also, AMD has R&D center in Tel Aviv, so if someone truly wants to stay away from tech which has anything to do with Israel, I am afraid you won't have a lot of options.
It's exactly because they know a thing or two they're not willing to throw the term around willy-nilly
What's happening in Gaza right now isn't a genocide. It's awful, they are commiting warcrimes, but not a genocide.
Funnily enough, what's happening in the West Bank has better Chances of being classified as a Genocide. Yet all those "Experts" on the Internet never talk about that. They only see civilian houses blowing up, then they take the worst word they know, "genocide", and call it that.
Do you think Palestinians in Gaza will ever be able to return home, in the near or far future, without being killed under the excuse of "it's an evacuation zone, so they must be Hamas"?
And do you think the "evacuation zone" will ever stop expanding before it encompasses the entirety of Gaza?
Because I'm pretty sure forcefully displacing a people from their home and not allowing them to return qualifies as genocide.

absolutely. Not in the near, but in the Medium-to-Long-Term (5mo+) they will be able to return to the Strip.
Israel is not interested in a prolongued Conflict. I say Nettanyahus Successor will try to mend things with the Gazans once they weakened Hamas enough.
Where will they return to with the whole strip flat?
When will the "evacuation zone" stop expanding? Because as far as I'm aware more of the strip is in the zone than out of it.
Do you think a power hungry, violent asshole who has stated he will ignore the world court if he doesn't like what they decide is interested in the wellbeing of anyone but himself and his elite friends?
How is it okay to force the most populous region to move further and further south (which was also physically impossible in the time allocated) where there is nowhere for them to stay in the interim, because there might be Hamas among them?
