"As per the Genocide Convention, the crime of genocide occurs only where there is specific 'intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnic, racial or religious group'," he said in the letter seen by Reuters.

"The government has not concluded that Israel is acting with that intent."

Britain is the root cause of this issue.
- The root cause is people too stupid to live in the real world and not mythology.
  
  Given that the founders and early adopters of Zionism were predominantly atheist, that is not the root cause of anything.
- come on lets give the romans their dues
So Israel is just lobbing bombs in at random while starving them, and accidentally destroying a national ethnic group?
- Source?
- no the brits are saying that there is no conclusive proof of targeting or destroying a group, they're targeting terrrorists
  
  Israelis claim all Palestinians are terrorists, even the children. Thats just filthy racism and supremacy.
  And jimmy90 can you explain why journalists and aid workers were targetted and murdered?
  
  Yeah as in "whoops, oh no we accidentally hit another hospital. Oh well, it was full of terrorists anyway - look here's a gun that they left lying around for some reason."
Ah, OK. Thank you, England, for helping to create a far more clear definition of "genocide".
Now I understand that, when a leader says "they deserve to all die" openly on national news, while actively carpet bombing them, it doesn't mean they have an intent to destroy a certain group.
Looking back I realise how very silly it was to mistake something so direct and obvious as genocide.
Basically they say that you're free to genocide everything as long as they intent is not advertised. They also say that any form of protest is a crime, right. What a lovely country Britain is.
- But the intent is advertised. Politicians of the ruling coalition have publicly referred to biblical myths of peoples getting exterminated by the Hebrews when referring to the Palestinians.
"We've investigated our co conspirators and determined they've done nothing wrong"
That's strange. The International Association of Genocide Scholars explicitly said that Israel's actions in Gaza meet the legal definition of Genocide under Article II of the UN Genocide Convention.

I guess we can trust a government that is actively supporting Israel and repressing protests to be telling us the truth, and a Prime Minister who said it was ok to cut off electricity and water to two million people in Gaza.
Duh they’re just setting up a resort for the Palestinians /s
Jesus fucking Christ
So as long as Israel states the destruction of the Palestinians is an entirely foreseeable and necessary byproduct, but not it's primary goal, it's cool. Dumb as hell
Did they also conclude that what they did in India isn't genocide?
That’s the moderate position. They have also refrained from denouncing claims of genocide as an antisemitic libel and joining US sanctions against the ICC, so they’re walking a tightrope here.
David Lammy deserves the gallows. He should be dancing up there along with the rest of the Zionists.
"You haven't beeeeen?"
