Names have power
My petition is this:
Use “Childslayer” as a political descriptor for Benjamin Netanyahu
The Government should use “Childslayer” in official references to Benjamin Netanyahu as a political descriptor. A UN Commission found that he incited genocide and that Israeli forces intentionally targeted children; this does not allege that he personally carried out killings.
The term is an expression of political and moral responsibility, not a claim that Netanyahu personally carried out killings or has been convicted. Applying a “reasonable grounds” standard, UN Commission report A/HRC/60/CRP.3 found that he directly and publicly incited genocide (paras 228–233 and 253). A/HRC/62/CRP.2 found that Israeli forces intentionally targeted and killed Palestinian children. Israel rejects the Commission’s findings.

Is that too much? Is it unfair? Thoughts? Opinions?
I am happy to engage in debating ethics in this area :)
