How does genocide happen in 2024?

It doesn’t, of course. As Graeme Wood from The Atlantic explains, there are only tens of thousands of legally killed children, that’s all.

(Thanks, Graeme, we were all apparently very confused.)

See, y’all were getting worked up for nothing.

Detail of article in The Atlantic: To rebut Hamas’s allegations by letting journalists see the war up close would be a calculated risk. Even when conducted legally, war is ugly. It is possible to kill children legally, if for example one is being attacked by an enemy who hides behind them. But the sight of a legally killed child is no less disturbing than the sight of a murdered one. And Israel has discovered that shutting out the press carries its own risks. An infanticide that no one can see is also going to attract suspicion. Unsympathetic observers will think Israel is conducting its war in the manner of other countries whose counterinsurgent forces have preferred to work out of view of independent media. Russia did this in the Second Chechen War; Sri Lanka, in its civil war. Both countries’ militaries had much to hide.

@dzajew Sure you can, you just need the right arms dealer. I can hook you up with Bibi’s guy, Biden, if you like. Comes with full immunity against ICC and ICJ.

@aral Yeah. When I was at school, learning about WWII, or when I heard stories about that times from relatives, I thought/hoped, that it wouldn't happen again, yet here we are.

@aral I mean primary school. Later, quite quickly I became disillusioned.
