Neither of these states are actually being met. Not by Israel, anyway.
Hamas started this conflict with a massacre. A large-scale one, and absolutely do not view the Jewish as human beings.
And immediately went into denial about it once it became clear the western left could be persuaded to side with them. The western left STILL denies the crimes of Hamas. Or say they're justified. And much like that step says, Y'all harass their victims, reject the evidence, and of course victim-blame the Jews.
And unlike Israel, Hamas actually has intent to commit genocide. Taking the last two steps out of context, applying them to a conflict you're clearly ignorant of, and then crying "genocide" is fucking ridiculous. XD you need all 10 steps for something to be a genocide, for one, and for 2, you have no consumed anything but propaganda if you think Israel fits either of these. Intentionally, they've only killed Hamas fighters with civilians being an unintentional consequence of fighting a war with an enemy that hides behind and among the populace, committing war crimes by wearing civilian clothing and using civilian buildings. And as far as I've seen, every single solitary time Israel has fucked up during this conflict, they have not denied it. Even when it would be better for their image to deny it they have not done so.
So yes, this shit enrages me, but not for the reason this idiot wants it to. It enrages me because ignorant idiots are misusing and taking whole steps on the "list of steps to genocide" out of context for outrage bait.
🏳️🌈🇺🇦 Pride march was held in Ukraine for the first time since the beginning of full-scale invasion. It's dangerous for big crowds to gather for a long period of time due to potential russian airstrikes, so the event was smaller and shorter than usual, but still important and powerful.
If you want a good object lesson about what we can and can't know about the past, we don't know Ea-Nasir was a dishonest merchant selling shoddy goods.
What we know is we have found a cache of complaint tablets about him selling low quality copper as high quality, in a site that was probably his own residence. We know multiple people complained he was a cheat. It's entirely possible they were right. It's also entirely possible that he kept these complaint letters as records of people he would no longer do business with, because they had made accusations and threats in order to bully him into giving them free copper. That is an equally valid interpretation of the evidence.
My point is not that we have maligned Ea-Nasir, my point is that thousands of years later, we do not and cannot know.
Whenever someone says they're against "organized religion" my dad always says, "Don't worry! Mine (Judaism) is the least organized one available." and I think we should all start using that line more because it's objectively funny.
