“50,000 dead Palestinians isn’t enough to call it genocide.”
How fucking morally vacuous do you have to be for such a thought to even enter that privileged brain of yours?
Forget the consensus of every genocide scholar out there that this is genocide. Forget the live-streamed suffering. How devoid of humanity are you for your argument to be “that’s just not enough dead people for me.”

Srebrenica was 8,000.
Exactly. It's not about how many, it's about who was killed and with what intent and rhetoric.
If there was any safe number of an ethnic minority countries were allowed to murder before it was officially a genocide triggering sanctions under international law, you can be sure some countries would be killing that many minus 1 every year.
The problem is Israel has realised there may be no number of Palestinians they can kill that will cause any meaningful pushback by the West.
I've read reports that European diplomats were literally asking Netanyahu to try and keep the daily death count below 100.
I've had a quick look, but I'm afraid I can't find the source now. I read so much these days, incl. things like article screenshots on social media that a keyword search on my computer won't show, and it could have been in German rather than English...
The bottom line is: don't quote me on it. Although as you say, it's nothing if not believable.
