Summary
Israel destroyed an active nuclear weapons research facility in Iran, according to U.S. and Israeli officials.
The strike significantly damaged Iran’s efforts to resume nuclear weapons research and sent a message about Israel’s insight into Iran’s top-secret activities.
The International Atomic Energy Agency is expected to vote on a censure resolution against Iran for its lack of cooperation with the UN nuclear watchdog.
The word genocide has not lost its meaning, you just obviously never understood it.
It is not about numbers of dead. The world considers the Bosnians to be victims of a genocide, but “only” 8000 people died in Srebrenica.
I’m well aware of the definition of genocide. My point was that the threshold for accusing Israel of genocide is very, very low.
It’s a genocide

Deliberate Attacks on Civilians
Israel deliberately targets civilian areas. From in general with the Dahiya Doctrine to multiple systems deployed in Gaza to do so:

Israel also targets Israeli Soldiers and Civilians to prevent them being leveraged as hostages, known as the Hannibal Directive. Which was also used on Oct 7th.
LOL, do you think posting links from obscure left-wing websites is going to convince me?
I committed genocide against a mosquito that was in my room last night.
Have you considered that maybe the Zionists just kill a lot of people, and maybe if they stopped killing so many people, maybe they would be accused less of genocide?
Have you considered that if Arabs hadn’t been engaged in a futile attempt to murder Jews and destroy Israel, the past 75 years of violence would have been avoided?
I mean Zionists literally committed genocide and ethnic cleanisng, killing hundreds of thousands of Arabs, displacing them to create an “Israel”. The Zionists are colonists, they could have just stayed home.
That’s “literally” not what happened, which proves you’re just another progressive who knows nothing about the history and just mindlessly repeats the propaganda you’re fed.
And “they could have just stayed home” is either horribly ignorant or callously insensitive, and I’m guessing it’s the former.
It quite literally is what happened:

Really? You’re going to reference Wikipedia (which has been taken over by anti-Zionist activists) and Al Jazeera? Come on. Maybe learn some actual history before you start spewing your opinions on a 100-year old conflict.
Yup, because it’s the easiest source to digest for people who clearly know nothing about the topic at hand.
Hint - That’s YOU.
