Calls are growing for the UN Security Council to be reformed after the US became the only member to use its veto power to block a Gaza ceasefire resolution, a move welcomed by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The UN chief says he will keep pushing for peace.

    Correct, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t genocidal. The US didn’t stop being genocidal to Native Americans when they stopped killing them.

      When would you say that the genocide of the Native Americans stopped then?

      IMO not trying to wipe out their race was a great starting point.

          There is indeed still some genocide in there with kidnapped children but the main part here seems to be cultural genocide. Is that the same as physical genocide though?

          From the moment students arrived at school, they could not “be Indian” in any way.  Boarding school administrators “forbade, whether in school or on reservation, tribal singing and dancing, along with the wearing of ceremonial and ‘savage’ clothes, the practice of native religions, the speaking of tribal languages, the acting out of traditional gender roles”

          Would France banning religious clothing in schools then also constitue as genocide? I don’t think so.

          What would you say is the point that the genocide against the natives ended?
