The statement 'I often call it what it is: genocide.' is part of a public discourse as it engages with a significant and contentious public issue, namely the conflict between Israel and Gaza. The tone is assertive and the intent is to label the actions of Israel in Gaza as genocide, which is a serious accusation with substantial implications.

This is a nuanced area where the intent to highlight perceived injustices must be balanced against the potential for escalating conflict. [-1]Principle 1:I will strive to do no harm with my words and actions.
