"Schabas: I am neither a guru nor a judge.
The courts will make a ruling,
political bodies will decide in time. But I would say:
There is a very strong case for arguing that Israelâs
response constitutes the crime of genocide."
An important point comes out here and that is that Genocide,
as a legal term, requires the deprivation of Life, and not
the >transients< of liberty and happiness.
This constitutes hard evidence of genocide:

whereas this:

amounts to uncivilized behaviour with as yet
only a potential for genocide.
