im deferring to the experts in the article quoted which you dont seem to have engaged with at all. I'm perplexed why you'd ignore it entirely but ask for my definition. the whole point is they are better placed to judge. tbh buddy it seems as though you have your head in the sand here and doing a lot of hard work to avoid considering the established consensus. the reasons for which i can only speculate
I thought as much. I've quoted a number of experts that say the opposite. Why not defer to them?
There are 'experts' that say someone with a big swinger is a woman dude, I'm not deferring to them either. I'm not being facetious either, in both cases their conclusions fly in the face of what terms
mean.
I would hope for less deference in such a context, and that you could give your own view.
Then there is the fact those conclusions include nuggets such as:
"However, much of the information coming out of Gaza,
including from Israeli sources, suggests any cautionary measures undertaken by Israel, vastly insufficient as they were, would not have prevented it from committing a slower-paced genocide."
This looks awfully like: (unprecedented) measures israel takes to not kill people doesn't stop them from unintentionally committing the crime of genocide, which is about intent to kill a whole people.
And that in turn - especially given the same guy says efforts were underway to assess this question from soon after 7th October - suggests a self fulfilling exercise to find a way to label israeli actions genocidal.
Experts can be agenda led too, R. Frequently so in fact, and seldom more so than in our own time. That's one reason for rigour in respect of terminology, even when itself it has been partially formed by agenda led experts: the UN definition of genocide for example. This is not science, and falls apart completely without adherence to some kind of objective-ish framework where words have concrete meaning. The same applies generally which is why, for example, post modern academia is so intent on undermining the meaning of words.
