Not a genocide

The following is an excerpt from an article by Douglas Anthony Cooper.

"If you consider Israel a genocidal nation, you are either incapable of distinguishing between a pond and an ocean, or you are -- more likely -- a bigot.

I am not simply referring to the fact that the Palestinian people are very much alive: Israel-haters conceptualize this as a botched genocide. I am referring to the fact -- the hard, numeric, undeniable fact -- of how many Palestinians have died in the conflict with Israeli Jews over the course of six decades. This toll would be an afternoon's work on the part of any actually genocidal people.
