A fierce international debate has emerged over whether Israel's military campaign in Gaza should be labeled as 'genocide.' Scholars, journalists, and human rights advocates are divided, with some citing mounting evidence of mass civilian casualties, starvation, and destruction as meeting the legal definition of genocide, while others argue the term is being misapplied for political reasons. The controversy is fueled by ongoing reports of humanitarian crises in Gaza, accusations of Western complicity, and the reluctance of some governments and media to use the term. The debate has significant implications for international law, accountability, and public opinion regarding the conflict. As the situation in Gaza worsens, calls for clearer recognition and action continue to grow.
