Oh yeah I’m well aware, even with that requirement this is the clearest most documented case of “definitely genocide” that has ever been, Nazi Germany was not this explicit about their intent.
But I do think that intent question should be done away with all together and having it just gives Israel another way to deflect and delay and question.
Also I guess my solution isn’t getting rid of the word genocide, it’s just getting rid of the requirement of intent for calling something a genocide. It should just be based on something like percentage civilians vs fighters killed, attacks on civilians infrastructure (deliberate or not) and some other clearly defined metrics that you could know without ever speaking to one of the perpetrators.
