    Okay, I am going to step over this even though I think the number of civilians killed is outrageous and has beaten lots of high scores of this century.

    But for argument’s sake, what about withholding food, aid, and medical supplies? Doesn’t enabling the population to die of treatable diseases one indicator of a genocide intent?

    About America, probably not due to the lack of intent for genocide, but what the US did was a flagrant undeniable human rights violation. So is your point like this: “other nations have massacred a similar albeit lower number of people per week on average than Israel, so you shouldn’t hold Israel accountable for any crimes despite it indiscriminately killing over 24k civilians in the course of 100 days” ?
