Does It Matter What You Call It?
Genocide or Erasure of Palestinians

Certainly it matters what one calls it. Genocide is a crime under
international law pursuant to the Convention on the Prevention and
Punishment of the Crime of Genocide adopted in 1948 in the wake of the
Holocause. "Erasure" isn't a crime.

As Kathleen and Bil Christison have been personally castigated as
historical revisionists and liars by historians such as Benny Morris,
their rant about semantics and the usual candards constitute irrelevant
fluff. In any case, the Christison cackle fails to provide support for
Mirelle's claims that there has been "GENOCIDE in Gaza Commited by
Israel" and that Israel is effecting "a continuing massacre and
GENOCIDE in Gaza". Certainly, the Christisons' kerfuffle fails to
answer the question directed to Mirelle, which is:

How does the exponential increase in the Palestine Arab population,
from 600,000 in 1949 to over 7,000,000 today, qualify as "genocide"?

calling what's happening in Darfur a "genocide," when there are quite a
few Darfurians left and the number of dead is based on sampling
"clocks" [full page ads in Wash. Post] and not actual count?

Misuse of the word. Why do some people, largely ignorant Jew haters,
keep touting some imaginary "Palestinian Genocide", despite the
increase in the Palestine Arab population from 600,000 in 1949 to over
7,000,000 today? How does such an exponential increase qualify as
"genocide"?
