I used to like The Economist, but this is Nazis propaganda right on their page.

Israel, by contrast, does not meet the test of genocide. There is little evidence that Israel, like Hamas, “intends” to destroy an ethnic group—the Palestinians. Israel does want to destroy Hamas, a militant group, and is prepared to kill many civilians in doing so. While some Israeli extremists might want to eradicate the Palestinians, that is not a government policy.

This is not okay. This is Nazi logic. Nazi, fascist logic, from The Economist.

Even Nazi Germany did not make killing the official “intention” or government policy in my understanding. At least not always. It was announced as a safety guarantee, for example.

    Does this invalidate the subject upon which they’re reporting, i.e. does this invalidate Neve Gordon’s opinion that Israel’s painting Palestinians as animals to justify their warcrimes?

        Yes, and I’d refute the expert in question on the merit of their points, or their qualifications, not solely based on who transcribed and reported on it. If your only argument against my entire post is that 1 website I used as a reference is Turkish, seriously, you need to work on your rhetorical skills.
