    Do you think that Palestinians have been put in an environment meant to bring about early and unnatural deaths by accident?

    Israeli settlers love burning Palestinian olive trees which take forever to regrow or settling in agricultural areas and then using violence to keep Palestinians out.

    The average age in the gaza strip is 18 years old thereabouts.

    That the population has grown is meaningless to whether Israel is trying to kill them. If the indigenous population grew for a period of ten years during manifest destiny that wouldn’t be proof that it wasn’t a genocide.

      We’re not going to agree and I have other things I need to do today. We’ll have to respectfully disagree that unnatural deaths alone constitute genocide.
