    How can you they possibly conclude that Russia is conducting a genocide, but Israel isn’t?

    Because they are very different conflicts and how each group has been fighting them.

    For example, It is well documented that Russia has been engaging in Russification of the areas of Ukraine they occupy. Russia also has a long, long history of engaging in the practice.

    Quick edit:

    Also, Ukraine takes steps to shield their population from the fighting. While on the other hand every group that Israel have taken zero action to shield ‘their people’ from the fighting. While at the same time taking steps to actively endanger civilian lives so they can glorify and use their every death for sympathy.

      Do you mean to imply that Israel doesn’t do that to the areas they occupy?

      To be clear I’m not claiming that Russia is not conducting a genocide. Just that Israel is currently doing it on quite a larger scale. So if there’s a genocide in Ukraine then there’s definitely one in Gaza.
