If Hamas surrendered the war would end tomorrow. But it doesn't occur to any of those chanting the genocidal slogan "from the river to the sea", "death to America", "go back to Poland", "we want all of it, no two states", to ask Hamas to end the war by ending its war crime of hostage-taking 80 to 1 year olds.

Nothing has changed since Golda Meir said "if the Arabs stop fighting, war ends, if Israel stops fighting, Israel ends."

Every dead Gazan would be alive today if Hamas hadn't broken a ceasefire in effect on Oct 6 with a breathlessly ecstatic and gleefully livestreamed orgy of rape, genital mutilation and incineration of lefty kibbutzniks like Women Wage Peace leader Vivian Silver.

As Mark Twain said, "there are three kinds of lies: lies, damn lies and statistics."

Genocide? Call your lawyer as soon as he graduates law school. Polish Jewish Shoah survivor, Raphael Lemkin, created this word and defined genocide as "acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group".

Without intention there is no genocide. To judge intention ask this question: if the victims surrender will it end or accelerate the killing? Compare Gaza to these cases:

Rwanda, 1994: Watch the movie Hotel Rwanda. Surrender would certainly have brought massacre to the Tutsis sheltering in the hotel. Nobody contests the verdict of genocide the Hutus committed. Israel in Gaza equivalent to Hutus' genocide in Rwanda? Really?:

Bosnia, 1995: The killing of 8000 civilians after Dutch UN peacekeepers withdrew from Srebrenica and Gorazde tells you: accelerate. Genocide? The verdicts against Mladic, Karadzic and Milosevic are clear.

Warsaw, 1943: Would the ghetto rebels' surrender have stopped or slowed the trains taking them to the gas chambers of Treblinka? No, it was their revolt and refusal to surrender that led to rebellion in Treblinka that shut it down. Gaza and Warsaw are polar opposites.

So apply this question to Gaza: would Hamas' surrender stop or accelerate the killing of Hamas' human shields? Roof knock warning shots and IDF Unit 504, that calls and messages Gazans to tell them to evacuate targets, tell us that Israel's intention is the opposite of the first three cases. Israel's intentions are the exact opposite of Rwanda's 1994 Hutus, Bosnia's 1995 Serbs and wartime Germany's. No intention = no genocide.
