    State aiding, assisting, and profiting from genocide says it investigated itself and found no wrongdoing.

    Of course they can’t see it, they’re actively funding it!

    Miller said he did not have any assessment to share on whether war crimes or crimes against humanity have been committed.

    I guess we all know what this mean.

    US propagandists disgust me. Guess what the US regime would have said during the native American genocide if asking about it.

      Hey man, they turned a FULL 360 degrees and didn’t see one single act of genocide being committed in Gaza.

    “we’ve investigated ourselves and found no wrongdoing”

    America and its accomplices deserve the debacle that’s coming.

    There’s a reason the term “not-see” exists, and its pronunciation is no coincidence.

    How? “It’s only genocide if they all are killed” or what’s your definition? I mean… it’s not a full-blown genocide right now but we’ve just entered the highway to Genocidistan.

      Generally speaking, genocide does not necessarily mean the immediate destruction of a nation, except when accomplished by mass killings of all members of a nation. It is intended rather to signify a coordinated plan of different actions aiming at the destruction of essential foundations of the life of national groups, with the aim of annihilating the groups themselves. The objectives of such a plan would be the disintegration of the political and social institutions, of culture, language, national feelings, religion, and the economic existence of national groups, and the destruction of the personal security, liberty, health, dignity, and even the lives of the individuals belonging to such groups.

      Source: Raphael Lemkin, the Jewish man who first coined the term “genocide” and campaigned for it to be recognised as a specific crime.

      It’s a full-blown genocide already; they’re trying to recreate the Armenian genocide but are facing too much resistance.
