Re: After S Africa formally pushes for Genocide charge at UN, Israel calls it AS - no surprise there
Just the attempt to link, label, Israel's crimes to the concept of 'genocide', is a good thing and puts the supporters and apologists of Israel on the defensive. For too long the charge of 'genocide' has been the West's exclusive 'toy' aimed at outlaw states, so it's a significant change to see it used against a western nation for a change. Of course Israel deliberately conflates the Holocaust with genocide, and argues that that's not what's happening in Gaza. However, over the last few decades the West itself has on numerous occassion used the genocide branding to condemn other nations actions, used genocide as a propaganda device almost exclusively.
