News is from last year, but it's still dystopic for anyone that missed it:

At a European Commission press briefing in Brussels on 13 October, Nunziati asked the spokesperson Paula Pinho: “You’ve repeatedly said that Russia should pay for the reconstruction of Ukraine. Do you think Israel should also pay for the reconstruction of Gaza, given that it destroyed much of the Strip and its civilian infrastructure?”

on 27 October, the journalist received a letter terminating his working relationship with the news agency, which, however, did not specify the reasons for this decision.

The Agenzia Nova news agency told Fanpage.it that Nunziati’s question was “completely out of place and technically incorrect” and had created “embarrassment for the agency”

At least four out of five criteria are documented. And while I think Russia/Ukraine and Isreal/Palestine are not comparable in a lot of aspects, what Russia is trying to achieve still does look like an attempt at genocide.

The Genocide Convention recognizes five distinct genocidal acts:

  • killing members of the group,

  • causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group,

  • deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part,

  • imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group, and

  • forcibly transferring children of the group to another group.
