"What feels weird or eerie depends on who you are, and is therefore a political question."

"Maybe unlike many genocides in history, the one taking place in Gaza for a year has been called a genocide from the first few days. People didn’t wait for months or years to recognize and name it.
It’s worth mentioning that it was not until 1941 that writers started to occasionally use the word ‘holocaust’ when describing Nazi crimes against the Jews, though it was not the only word used for that purpose. After World War II, Holocaust (with either a lowercase or capital H) became a more specific term. By the late 1970s, it became the standard English word used to refer to the systematic annihilation of European Jews by Germany’s Nazi regime.
What’s happening in Gaza is not only a genocide against families but also a denial of the war crimes committed against them.
The is more than a genocide. A new Raphael Lemkin is needed to coin a new term for this." --@MosabAbuToha
