      Hey good news wintermute! The UN are currently calling on the international community to declare the events in Palestine as a Genocide! Here is a link:

      https://www.ohchr.org/en/press-releases/2023/11/gaza-un-experts-call-international-community-prevent-genocide-against

      Also, I checked the wikipedia article for the phrase “Birth Rate” and it does not come up. In fact the only mention of birth is that an addition definition for genocide is the prevention of births, however it is not a necessary action to meet the definition of the word Genocide.

      Genocide can take many forms, and CANNOT, IN ANY WAY, AT ALL, EVER, be counteracted by the rate of new births. That is not a thing and has never been a thing. Can you please provide me any literature that claims that the increase in births has any bearing on whether an action can be viewed as a Genocide?

          That’s okay, you’re not disagreeing with me, you’re disagreeing with the literal meaning of the word. We can’t just make things up to suit how we’d like reality to be. All the best 👍

              I thought you were done? I provided the definition and you did not, unless you can provide me a definition of the word from a reputable source, which contains references to birth rates as a contraindicator of genocide, then I’m sorry, but you’re just going to have to continue to take the L 😉

                  Please stay on topic, and provide a definition of genocide that agrees with your views that rates of childbirth can counteract an act of genocide to the point where it no longer counts as an act of genocide.

                  Provide a citation, or take the L. Stay on topic.

                  Link. Or admit you are wrong.

                  Provide a link.
