This comment was in response to someone expressing regret about joining .ml if I recall correctly
Edit: I'm convinced all this guy does is camp out in front of his computer and wait for an excuse to abuse what itty bitty power he has.

"Oh, this is calamity! Calamity! Oh no, he's on the floor!"
Welcome to MoG!

Documenting hate speech, conspiracy theories, apologia/revisionism, and general tankie behaviour across the fediverse. Memes are welcome!
What is a Tankie?
Alternatively, a detailed blog post about Tankies.
(caution of biased source)
Basic Rules:
Sh.itjust.works Instance rules apply! If you are from other instances, please be mindful of the rules. — Basically, don't be a dick.
Hate-Speech — You should be familiar with this one already; practically all instances have the same rules on hate speech.
Apologia — (Using the Modern terminology for Apologia) No Defending, Denying, Justifying, Bolstering, or Differentiating authoritarian acts or endeavours, whether be a Pro-CCP viewpoint, Stalinism, Islamic Terrorism or any variation of Tankie Ideology.
Revisionism — No downplaying or denying atrocities past and present. Calling Tankies shills, foreign/federal agents, or bots also falls under this rule. Extremists exist. They are real. Do not call them shills or fake users as it handwaves their extremism.
Tankies can explain their views but may be criticised or attacked for them. Any slight infraction on the rules above will immediately earn a warning and possibly a ban.
Off-topic Discussion — Do not discuss unrelated topics to the point of derailing the thread. Stay focused on the direct content of the post as opposed to arguing.
You'll be warned if you're violating the instance and community rules. Continuing poor behaviour after being warned will result in a ban or removal of your comments. Bans typically only last 24 hours, but each subsequent infraction will double the amount. Depending on the content, the ban time may be increased. You may request an unban at any time.

As mentioned above, there is no genocide, and that's why no credible source is speaking about a genocide.
The ICJ (UN so has a anti Israel bias) fir example said that there is no genocide currently even though Israel must take action to protect civilians in Gaza, wich they did, see the other threat here.
Theoretically speaking, what sources would you accept as authoritative on the matter of an ongoing genocide?
There is no credible authority body that calles or doesn't call something genocide, genocide has a very clear definition and genocide is defined according to that definition, ICJ does try to be neutral but Israel has as said a very hard time with UN because UN turned into a anti Israel body, so they don't get people into Gaza or Israel. The only external people in gaza currently are a few selected journalists that travel with IDF (CNN from what i know, maybe the guardian, but I'm not certain on that) or the hamas propaganda speakers that call themselves journalists (aljazeera) but are legally not.
Then why say
as an objection?
You're all over the place.
You asked about a credible source for something, and for a authority body, those are different things so there are different answers
