make secular life attractive will accelerate demographic decline. look closely at Europe but this Christianity has completely flopped in reversing it in many other places . A while ago i mentioned demographic decline of Turkey and Iran in this thread. now Erdogan himself mentioned it. when there is emigration even 1.51 is disaster. i read that information in my favorite subject. they are very accurate in identifying failures. just need to look at right place.

Deliberate targeting and destruction of a nation is genocide. If you take the Western narrative of 'Israel is fighting Hamas only; IDF is the most moral army in the world', then it isn't a genocide. But if you take the actual reality on the ground where 70% of Palestinian homes have been destroyed, 30/36 civilian hospitals have been obliterated, every university has been destroyed, nearly all civilian infrastructure destroyed, IDF displaces civilians enmasse by telling them to flee (towards Egypt), then it starts to look like a textbook exemplary of genocide.
Deliberate destruction of the lives of 2.3 million people just to free a hundred hostages and target Hamas which numbers less than 30,000.. is just nonsense. For one thing, if you wanted to save somebody who has been kidnapped, simplest of logic should tell you not to bomb them because you'll probably kill them.
Israel's intention is to actually do another real genocide like the Nakba: destruction of Gaza as a nation-state, partly because Hamas prevented Israel from infiltrating like a cancer as they did in the West Bank by introducing illegal settlers and annexing land; with Gazans evicted into Egypt. Egypt knew this at the onset of the war and refused to open the borders, hoping that maybe Gaza will survive.
But now things have changed as Egypt very recently recieved a multibillion dollar IMF bailout from the West, and EU thanked Israel and Sisi for their roles in containing Russia.

There are many people in the US who believe the Epoch Times is a part of the CCP's campaign to sow discord in the US because it perpetuates Trump's lies. Why not believe they're just pro-Trump? Plenty of Asians suck up to the most right-wing whites because they want to believe if they can get these right-wingers to like them, the more American or white they think they will be. Look at how they say China is pro-Trump. They only say that because they're trying reverse psychology to get people to think whatever China is for has to be bad therefore people will vote for Biden. And remember how the right accuses Biden of being China's Puppet-in-Chief.
Details and logic about which frogs are protesting what aren't important, enjoy the lulz from Wanwan.

The intention of forcing a group to flee by definition is a contradiction with genocide. Genocide is narrowly defined with a strict requirement on intention. The word has been thrown around far too freely over the past few decades. In the entire 20th century, there has been only 2-3 instances of actual genocide. Israel may be attempting to do ethnic cleansing (they want the Palestinians out, not non-existent), which is often confused with genocide. Both are bad and considered war crimes, but actual genocide is still at a higher level of evil. The word should not be used lightly.
VOA reporter says that a legislature trying to limit the president's power (elected with only 40% of the vote) is trampling democracy, all we need to know
The wanton and careless use of the word Genocide has lost its value and meaning when the west, led by America decided to cast China as a GENOCIDAL regime trying to exterminate the UYGHURS etc...what a sick joke
Not sure who's behind this, Lai, DPP, US? I think this time is more complicated than the 2014 sunflower colour revolution. Regardless it doesn't matter anyways since Lai's term will be the last.
How is it more complicated? DPP has been firmly under US control since Ma Ying Jeou got too close to PRC.
US/DPP/Lai are all the same side. They are trying to delegitimatize the legislature, maybe Lai is a big Star Wars Fan
Isn't it obvious already what the intention is? Mass graves aren't a symptom of ethnic cleansing; they are a consequence of genocide.
The original intention of Israel is ethnic cleansing. But since the Palestinians refuse to leave, and resist, the intention transforms into genocide, i.e. "leave or I will kill you".
West Bank stopped resisting, so the genocide stopped there while gradual ethnic cleansing remains. Gaza resisted, so the ethnic cleansing turned into genocide.
If Palestinians are out, Palestine becomes nonexistent. The state is destroyed. That... is... genocide.
The West likes to sow confusion by hiding behind false semantics.
